Manchester is the UK's third largest city. It is now one of the most regenerated cities in the UK thanks to the rebuiding in the 1990's and the investments for the 2002 Commenwealth Games.
Manchester is well known for its musical history with many bands holding roots in the city. Most famously of the current era would be Oasis, with the Gallagher brothers being brought up in Burnage. The city has vast cultural diversity and it is difficult not to find something to suit all tastes. There is a so-called 'Curry Mile' through Rusholme, but restaurantes to accommodate any cuisine are easily found. The nightlife is amongst the UKs finest with a trendy bar scene at Deansgate, but being a hugely student orientated city (the 2 largest Universities in the Country are found on Oxford Road), there are several alternative places for cheaper alternatives. There is a sports city which held the Commonwealth games in 2002. This is now home to Mancester City football club, but there is the National Cycling Centre, and the National Aquatic Arena close by. You can also take a drive into Eccles to find the hugely successful Manchester United and Old Trafford. For shoppers, there is the Trafford Centre in which you'll find a full range of shops and occasional celebrity book signing. Enjoy the city - it has much to offer

It isn't until you get to the end of a trip that you realise where you have been. So, now we are at the end of this trip, where have we been? We began the year in Canada, then New Zealand and Australia, all interesting places with fantastic and breathtaking scenery. Yet in many ways it was no different to being at home. To challenge your ideals on life you need to see and experience an alternative, and for me the other 'western' countries didn't really provide that alt...

Unfortunately, in the Canned heat, "so tired of travelling but I'm out, and on the road again..." sense rather than the happy one. I had to go to a conference in Manchester. Well, had to is a bit strong. I guess I wanted to too. But I've been really run down recently, and so I wasn't feeling as keen as I normally would be. Which is unusual, because as you know, I love Manchester nearly as much as I love Bristol. I went up on the Sunday so I could spend some actua...

Leaving the 'States' is always exciting, but also a bit scarry. Even though I love to travel and have seen a lot of the world, every trip has its own obstacles.
The flight from Rapid City to Denver was uneventful at best. Boring if you want to know the truth. But, after waiting around the airport for three hours to catch our flight from Denver to London Heathrow, we were informed the flight was delayed an hour. Now, that is not in itself a terrible thing. We ate at a nice restaurant in DIA ...

When we finally arrived in Manchester after a really uneventful train journey we had a brisk walk to The Museum of Science and Industry, wheer the Dr Who exhibition was. When we arrived we were given a timed ticket - which ment we had to go away and come back about an hour later and then we could actually buy a ticket and go in, it is there way of controlling how long a queue they get!! So we had about an hour to kill so we decided we would see some of the other exhibits in the mu...
