Finally here...

I have arrived in Manchester. Thank you Lee for pointing out my oversight. Apparently the poster of those pics (yes, I stole them off the internet) did not label them properly - so, the bottom picture is not from Manchester, but from Chester. Sorry for the oversight.

The ride over was great, aside from missing my connection and having to fly through to London it was a nice day. I was able to get some sleep on the plane, and luckily so was the person next to me.

Once I arrived, there was a collection service that took me to the school and my new dorm room. After living in a house during my master's degree, a dorm room is definitely a different climate.

Anyway, there are a bunch of international students around and more info to come - my time here at the internet cafe is about up. Bye for now!
