Manchester

Manchester, the city that most Malaysians do talk about. I wonder why (konon). Basically the city is busier and definitely bigger than Southampton. I find the public transportation is very convenient BUT most buses are too sempit! Lutut pun kena backrest seat depan. Haiyayai. But anyway, as usual I will let the photos do the talking.



How to get there from Southampton :
Get a direct train from Southampton Central to Manchester Piccadilly train station. Approximately 4 hours due to the innumerable (ok, exaggerating) stops the train has to make.

Food :
Halal restaurant is available at The Trafford Centre. Argghhh I forgot the name but it is actually a chinese restaurant. You can even have Harry Ramsden's fish and chips. Well if you miss home cooked food, then bring some from home with you =)

Accommodation :
I stayed with my younger brother in a budget hotel, Hotel International, right in front of the Manchester Piccadilly train station. The beds were not comfortable at all. But they didn't cause us any severe back pain since we only stayed there for two nights and we did spend most of our time in the city and Old Trafford stadium.
