Manchester is an amazing place to visit, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Manc - I live in one of the worst parts of Manchester, I'm saying it because it's totally truee hehe.

So yeah, If you're ever visiting England, Manchester is a must visit place. Why?
  • The buildings. You wouldn't believe that most of the buildings have been around for little over a hundred years - my favourite two examples of this are the Brittania Hotel and Manchester's new Town Hall. (I say new because there was an old one, but we wanted a bigger, better one to how off with in the Victorian Era. haha).
  • We led the world into the Industrial revolution with our child labour; horrid living conditions and cotton mill industry. (Manchester = 1st industrialized city in England; England = 1st industrialized city in word. Go figure.)
  • The first modern computer was built in Manchester. So when you think about it, you've all got a fair bit to thank Manchester for.
  • And, of course: Because I'm here.
  • I thought of another one. That is highly relevant. JKRowling thought of HP on a train going FROM Manchester.Something in Manchester's awesomeness must've sparked the amazingness that is Harry Potter. lolol. jokes.


I could go on further, but I won't. Here's the grab bag.
