Manchester...

as planned.... 3 heriot-watt student went down to manchester... after chicken cottage dinner and hopped onto train at 8.11pm... and so the journey begins with some suffering in the train as usual... the last hour of the train was spent by playing monopoly on my omnia... =D

11.44pm and we reached manchester piccadilly... its really quite a big station.... met up wif han's cousin bro and checked ourselves into our accomodation for the nite.... Hotel International... really opposite of the station.... and cost oni around 19 per person for a common toilet 3 bed room... the room wasnt that bad, minusing the thin bed i had and the noise from the bar below.... =.=

went to meet up with phin's fren and off we go to tai wu for dim sum supper.... i met up wif nicholas moo as well... he seems to be very good and enjoying his time here with his china fren.... ooo.... after dim sum we walked the street with lots of pubs ... cant recall the name... =.= but its famous for having lots of gay pubs there.... just spot for those with rainbow flag above the entrance... thats dangerous for straight man like me... lol... went to han's cousin room where some of dem played poker... saw shafiq there as well... he came for the manchester game...

saturday... check out at 11... and walked around town... then went to university of manchester to see the Manchester Malaysian Game... met sinyen there... and no 1 else i noe d.... =.= went their union for malaysian food.... which is really... not tasty at all... X.X haha.... no comments....

then back to town to shop around and went for the Eye of Manchester.... missed the chance to go to old traffold thou.... T.T mayb nez time la... i'll be back... dinner went to some chinese restaurant to celebrate phin's fren bday... and then the nite was really still young and we spent the homeless night in a casino... lol... the casino there actually have a mahjong room... for us to play mahjong for like 5 hr??? lol.... and best of all... free actually.... no entrance fee... just register... and refundable deposit for the mahjong tiles oni.... =) lets hope that edinburgh have this... lol... circus casino... actually part of genting group... haha... uncle lim's punya....

so we left there around 4.30am and walked to train station... took the rail replacement bus to york... waited/sleep in york train station waiting room.... then train back to edinburgh... and thats the end of the journey... tiring...!! but quite fun actually... manchester actually have nothing much to visit.... just shops and chinese food... and old traffold which we missed....
