Initial impression: King Conchobar was a dipwad.
Current impression: King Conchobar is still a dipwad, but I have yet to have a bad experience in Armagh. Despite the paucity of outlets, I like having everything (e.g., grocery stores, bus station, Embers) within walking distance, and I like having the run of the quiet room in the hostel. I like being able to get a 5-piece breakfast for £2.95 at Rumours, and I especially like having a library literally next door. I’m glad we’ve had a month here, because it’s given me time to settle in and adjust to Armagh as a home away from home. It’s a little annoying that almost everything closes early in the evening (excepting the pubs), but that’s a minor detail.
