    LOL..

    I like that bus trips... I told my bf that but want to do it alone.. a very nice adventure for me actually but bf said no as he said it would be unsafe to travel alone.. duh! I lived in manila and been traveling alone... and how dangerous can Manchester be compared here? (or am I mistaken?)

    Would have to ask that bf takes a week off as well to show me around town...

    Hi Florge

    I understand your bf point of view. You probably have more hair raising experiences in Manila than he realises. But it is the fact you do not know which particular areas are unsafe,would concern him.Small time crime is problem in Britain.

    Don't be alone at night time. Usual common sense stuff. Don't carry anything around that is visible to thieves-makes you a target for mugging. Things such as expensive mobile phones or IPods. City can have drug problems and opportune thieves will nick a phone or your bag for a quick sell for their drug fix.

    I would assume the city is as safe as most. Forum members from Manchester will be able to tell you of places to avoid at night. I only visited.

    But Manchester is easy to get around on foot, and the Metrolink tramway is there too. Go visit Piccadilly Gardens.

    How about going to a Manchester Utd game? They are one of the biggest clubs in football these days. I am sure it would be an enjoyable experience. I would love to go there.
    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.
