Time to clear things up... Manchester (Spring Break 07)

OK, so, now that I have so much time, and also, I'm bored and need to kill my time, so, I'm gonna blog more. And there are a lot of posts for me to catch up, some dating back to my Spring break in Europe...

So, let me continue with my Spring Break... I think I left off at Dublin, Ireland.

After Dublin, Ireland, I took a flight to Manchester, to visit my friend Kim Tat. After a flight and a train ride, I met up with Kim Tat where I crashed 3 nights at his room! :)

So, Manchester is a great place, a very nice place with a lot of shopping malls, and good chinese food. The Chinatown is huge, and I saw a number of really nice cars (2 Ferraris, a Lumborghini...) I had some really good dim sums, and spent a lot of time walking around searching for jerseys(for my bro, friends and myself). Also, I spent few hours walking around lost after visiting Old Trafford, home of the great Manchester United Football Club, which I spent so much time in there, following a tour, checking out the Megastore.

The side entrance of Old Trafford.
I spent about 40 minutes walking around the Museum before the tour.
As I was traveling alone most of the time, some photos were taken with an extended right arm. Hence, the result. :)
As I followed the tour on a weekday, it wasn't that busy, and the tour group was about 20 of us. The tour was rather comprehensive, and the tour guide was amazing. Well, he had been working there for more than 25 years and worked during the regular football season.
I managed to get another person to help me to take this shot.

Ok, that's ugly... :)
The home players' changing room. :)


Me getting comfortable in Sir Alex Ferguson's seat.No comments... :)

This is slightly better... (oh yar, it was rather cold and windy that day...)

Some shot sI took while I was lost.

And, last but not least, a very amatuerish panoramic of Old Trafford.

I went back to Old Trafford for a second time because I couldn't find the third jersey elsewhere.

Well, this time, I went back with Kim Tat, and he took this shot. :)
And after that, we went to Trafford mall (i think), which was a really humongous mall, bigger than the new 1 Utama, and the decoration was amazing.
Also, here's a picture of me in front of U of Manchester.
Also, Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and this is the aquatic center, just outside Kim Tat's dorm.

And that's pretty much of my trip to Manchester, England. The very next morning, at 5am in the morning on Saturday, I took a train to Southampton, my last stop of my trip to Europe.
