I have been to London, York, Canterbury, Salisbury...just to name a few English towns. But may I ask, what is so great about Manchester? (besides Soccer)

 

[TheMainMan]

Manchester- great 'cos its my home town for and yes your right the greatest football team on the globe come from there. Apart from that good nightlife, prosperous city, close to the beautiful lake district and a young person's city (5 Universities, 100000 students, even greater number of graduates).

Mate, the north of England is the place. People are far friendlier than the south.

1) Berlin
2) Copenhagen
3) Amsterdam
4) New York City
5) London
6) Stockholm
7) Los Angeles
8) Rome
9) Sydney
10) Hong Kong

That's funny that you say that the people in the North are more friendly than the south.

In the United States, the South has a reputation of being more slower paced and friendlier, while the Nort (especially NYC) people are not as personable.

I have experienced the same in Germany...I thought Berlin was very unfriendly, but places like Munich and parts of Austria were more friendly.

When I was in York, I noticed the English talked almost with a heavy Scottish brogue.

That's because you heard the wonders of the yorkshire accent. Lucky you ......no offence to anyone, but there are some strange folk about in yorkshire.

Anyway, Rome is always worth a visit.

I have been all over the world, and I would have to say:

Sydney/Paris
LA (just a lot to do there).
Vegas
Vancouver
Rome
Mexico City (although a little dangerous for a blond haired, blue eyed Australian).
Tokyo
Lichenstein (real good vibe and great atmosphere).

What are you on about; people in the south dont look at you funny when you open your mouth. Up North, everyone is rude, arrogant and unintelligent (i have to make generalisations, im sure there are exceptions that prove the rule). And up North they speak funny.

I applied to Manchester University though.

i dont know how true that is, im from south englang, and people are suposed to be more freindly up north because down here we are more in a rush due to work and have less time on our hands to chill out, thats sterotypical at least. But devon for example is just as laid back as york.

 

[Jay-X]

cagliari, palermo and naples (italy) are the most beautiful city in the world:-D

anyway, manchester utd is not the greatest soccer team at all... juventus, milan, real madrid, barcelona and bayern are better

Soccer sucks. Period. Want a proper game? try rugby.

Nah, we want mens sports, not little girls adventures into the countryside.

Agreed about Stockholm. Amazing atmosphere in the summer, pretty girls. I can't believe I forgot Montreal. Great city, pretty girls. Friendlier than American girls in big cities.

The women there are men't to be the fittest in Europe. Think I'll visit in the new year!!
