Orange Order

The other day when I just finished meeting with one of my supervisors, he told me that the university will be closed during certain days in July. When I further asking him for more information, he said it in a fishy way:"Have you ever heard anything from the International Office?"
"What?"
"Oh, you know, people will march on the street, many drunken people. Although it was 5 years ago, I won't be in Belfast during those days!"
"Oh really?Is it really dangerous?"
"Yeah...!So, go anywhere but Belfast! Go Dublin!!"
Yeah...what so dangerous? =.= He looked so paranoid!!
Well after asking one of my colleagues and my supervisor's response made him laughing non-stop, he told me that it is called "Orange Order". Not sure what it is, but you can find a very super extremely long story from Wikipedia. Just look up 'Orange Order' from google.
Here are some photos taken during that day,12th of July. But!!!I missed the bon fire!!!I was reading online comics that night...but anyway I wont feel like going out at late night alone. Here you go. The photos.
A camera-friendly guy in uniform.
In the parade there is always a person (definitely with very strong arms) hitting a huge drum.
And uncles with tummy in uniform.
'Looks-like drunken' kids.
This is the 'Bon Fire' that I missed. It was the night before the parade...Now it's only 'Bon Ash'....

Guys playing drums.
A guy blowing flute.
Guys in suit.

Ahem. Please excuse me for my useless captions.

After the parade, there were loads of drunken people and empty bottles by the road side.

Later after the event, my colleague teased me:"So you survived from the Orange Order?"

Yeah yeah...thanks to my funny supervisor...
