Greater Manchester Travel Blogs

Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

It was then off to Manchester, a shame to leave our relatives so soon as a fantastic time was had. We managed to score a great 2 bedroom apartment for dirt cheap in a suburb full of Rabbi’s. But Jen was happy as there was a TESCO right around the corner. Luckily the car never got stolen. A tour of the Manchester United Stadium was a must with the Super Store so large we nearly all got lost. Andy wanted to move in, and enquired about rent, only to be dismissed. In the stadium, a light drizzle made everything sparkle and [View Full Entry]

I went away in 2007 for 8 months. Saying goodbye was an odd affair; goodbye for so long but not forever. The worst goodbye was my parents. I'd already said farewll to my Big Brother when we dropped him off and it was such a mad and confusing affair that goodbye was pretty quick and pretty uneventful. Saying goodbye to my Mum and Dad, while they waved from the doorway to the Departures lounge was the hardest bit. I kept back the tears that threatened to topple over my lids often for the next 48 hours or so. The first couple [View Full Entry]

Mr. P

Well it's just 2 weeks to go and so much to sort out. jabs, visas, a good backpack and insurance would be start I guess. Heading to Tokyo first to hook up with Kengo who runs BabyBoom Japan for us - see some of the artists we have been working with there. Over to Osaka to catch up with Massa (a fanatic Man City fan) who will want all the gossip on all things Manchester. After 6 weeks with really good friends in the tranquility of Ardeche in France I imagine Tokyo will be somewhat of a change of pace! I [View Full Entry]

The past week has gone by so quickly, and has been full and exciting! Of course, it hasn’t been without its dramas…as one would expect when you are across the other side of the world…but as my granny used to say “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”, so cheers to that! The Edinburgh Fringe Festival was fantastic and the city was absolutely ‘heaving’! We visited the Edinburgh Castle and had a fast, record breaking tour by a Scottish lassie who let us know that it was her last tour of the day and she couldn’t wait to finish work, [View Full Entry]
