Manchester


Short visit to Manchester on 29th May. Motive of going is to visit the Old Trafford Stadium. Yes! is the theatre of dreams of many..the Manchester United Football Club (MUFC). Old Trafford is an all seater football stadium in the Trafford borough of Greater Manchester, England, home of the Premier Leagus club Manchester United. Old Trafford has the second largest capacity of any English football stadium which can fit about 76 thousands spectators. Also the 11th largest in the Europe.
We went for the stadium and museum tour which cost £7.50 for student which is pretty reasonable as they will have a tour guide to bring us around from the heights of the North Stand to Sir Alex Ferguson’s pitch-side dugout spot, and the atmosphere soaked players’ dressing room.

Went to the War Museum then back to the city for high tea at Manchester's chinatown..dim sum and beef noodles.

Liverpool

A short trip to Liverpool on 28-29 May 2010. Was pretty tiring because we have to wake up at 5am as we took the early train down to Liverpool at 6.15am! Yeah, cheap fare. Reached around 10am. Checked in at Hatters Hostel which is pretty good. We booked the 3 bed room but they gave us a family bed room (1 double decker bed and 1 king size bed) with huge ensuite bathroom.


Visited the city after checked in.

Went to the Maritime Museum, Beatles Story, John Moore University, Albert Dock, Cavern Walks, St George's Hall, Liverpool Cathedral. Walked along the Cavern Walks, Liverpool's Chinatown.
