Manchester Food




Well I am alive and well in Manchester! The first day was rough... I was totally sleep deprived, without internet, working electrical sockets, a mobile, hot water, or heat. But I made it through and now everything is brilliant.
The first thing I did when I got to my dorm was try to charge my computer, but when I plugged my surge protector into the wall I blew a fuse and the sockets stopped working. When the electrician came to fix it, he confiscated my surge protector and left me a nasty note. Oh well at least I can charge my computer again!

I've made loads of new friends all ready, most of them are freshers (British lingo for freshman), but all of them are super friendly. I've wandered around trying to find my way about the city and I am proud to report that I have yet to get lost. Give me time though.

Best part of the trip so far was buying the Digestives in the top picture. I fell in love with them in Hong Kong and have been craving them ever since! The second picture was breakfast this morning. It is the traditional English breakfast, and yes, those are baked beans. Strange.
