Manc Weekend

Today was one of those days which come too few and far between. Met up Sam, Prakash, Bobby, Jessica, Nadeesh and Pooja plus all the Liverpudlians and Mancunians in Manchester. I finally got to taste the dim sum that everyone has been raving about since last year. 16 people at a table is a sight not many waiters have seen before apparently, cos they just kept coming and coming with fresh plates of food for us.



All the newcomers spent the afternoon visiting Old Trafford, home to the Man Utd team. Initially , I thought the stadium was smaller than I'd expected. Walking around the grounds though, it was larger than it looked. It was pretty interesting seeing where players would bathe, where the VIPs had their pre-game lunch and where the press conferences were held etc etc. The climactic big run onto the pitch, complete with cheering recorded from an actual game, was hampered by the fact that the pitch was, pitch dark, owing to the time. Not many have seen it at night though.


Tourism in Malaysia is definitely well publicised.


A Christmas present for the fans out there?
