Blackpool, A Holiday City

Blackpool is a town north of Liverpool, is a place where u would wan to have fun n relax.. This is not a place where u will see people wearing smart attire and rushing to work. No.. This town is a place to have a holiday with anyone no matter the age.

1st thing u need to know is that the town's very quiet in the morning. Shops and amusement centers starts their business as i recall around 10am. We arrived there at 8.00am but the town was like a ghost town except
Mc Donald's opened(haha ate Mc Breakfast before going around the town)


U wont miss the famous Blackpool Tower
Live dancers, shows and casino

Lost a few pounds in this place where gambling is legal

Manchester, busy town with the world's famous club MU

Manchester, a busy town with the world's famous football club Manchester United, MU for short.
Me and a few of my friends reached Manchester early in the morning and went around town. Nothing much to see. Took a few photos as we walk guided by a map.

Small chinatown area

It's summer, the way to cool down in the middle of town

Can't find a toilet, just use this (MEN ONLY)

After sight-seeing around town in the morning mostly shopping malls, we decided to head for the MU stadium Old Trafford. Just one train ride plus 15-minutes walk and we reach the famous Old Trafford stadium. Didn't get a chance to see the football field as there was a limit for visitors visiting everyday. We were only allowed to visit the museum. Feeling dissappointed we didn't go in the museum (10pounds per entry). We took more photos and shop for MU stuff before we left.


Before we left Manchester, there was a protest on the streets of Manchester. From the banners, you can clearly see that it was a protest against war on Iraq. People of all races and religions join in on the protest.
