Almost 20 years on from the Good Friday peace accord, which brought about the end of Northern Ireland's sectarian conflict, the city of Belfast has changed dramatically. Reminders of the past are everywhere _ murals and memorials to those killed in the conflict, along with peace walls that separate predominantly Protestant neighborhoods from mostly Catholic ones _ but there are also new shopping malls and cafes, new tech industries, and lots of tourists.
