First week in Manchester

Have just reach Manchester after a 17hrs grusome flight on Emirates. People say they service good hmm i personally dun think so but maybe because they are doing a comparisson with other airlines. If that is the case whao I will be glad to have chose emirates cause it is important to feel good during ur travel time otherwise one will suffer badly. But one thing i realise over at Manchester that is there seems to be a lot of students from India, sudi Ariabia and China. There is even a whole street that sells curry food, kerbabs and other exrotic foods from the middle east. If there is a chance i will post the picture.

On the whole the Orientation program at the University is quite good. And who say the administration is poorly handle. From what I see they are just as good as those in Singapore. They set up booths helping student to join clubs, opening bank account in manchester, insurance and even tours to the city centre on where you can get grocceries. At night they even teach dancing from salsa, argentina tango, line dance and etc. They teach you how to enjoy social life. Rather than like those Orientation in NTU which i gather from a friend of mine which sounds like boot camp from 6am in the morning to 2 am the following day through out the week. Glad i did not join those NTU orientation camps.

University of Manchester adopt a city campus. Sad that i have not manage to visit SMU to do a comparison but God is the campus big. I have to walk about 15 mins from the north campus to the south campus. There is this road which seperate the south Campus to the left and right side and the road is sure busy.

Well guess this is all for today. For the weekend I plan to visit Chinatown and of course Old trafford. There is a match on sunday between liverpool and Manchester at Old trafrord but I dun think i am rich and influence enough to get hold of the ticket. So like u guys i will most likely to watch it at a pub.
