Glory, Glory Man United!!
We are just back from a few days in Manchester and Liverpool. Neal had last minute tickets to the semi finals of the Champions League football - to watch Manchester United play AC Milan!
Chancing my luck I also got the days off , and scored a ticket in the boxes!!
WOW!! It was just so awesome!! Old Trafford was full of about 73,000 crazy singing fans - the air was just buzzing! I totally lost my voice from screaming and jumping up and down!! Neal was stoked to be there, and I am now a true convert to live soccer and Man Utd. Especially when they score last minute goals!
The next day we did a tour of Old Trafford - the museum, the players change room (got to sit where Cantona and Ronaldo sit - cool) and Neal got to sit in Sir Alex's chair in the digout!
Manchester is a great city! Heaps of cool restaurants, bars and insane shopping! Has been done up recently. We made a b-line for China town for our fix of yum-cha!! We found ourselves in a very dangerous gang suburb in search for a pharmacy - oops and thank goodness for a taxi driver who would wait for us!!
Not long to go - less than 8 weeks - so much to do! It seem s funny as the closer you get to leaving - the more good friends you make!
