Why are more people attracted to London than Manchester?
I loved living in Manchester and only left it because I couldn’t find a job there. I still think its a better city to live in for various reasons, including cost and convenience. It has enough cultural life to satisfy most tastes and you can live close enough to the centre to walk home if you have to.London clearly has more going on and most of the national museums, galleries etc. which I would certainly miss in Manchester, though there are some fine ones there. But on the other hand we could take a relatively short train or bus ride and be walking on the moors.Things are generally considerably more expensive in London, but there are far more well-paid jobs and greater opportunities for careers. And as someone like me who walks up Whitehall several times most weeks there is a certain feeling of being at the centre of events rather than on the periphery.
What is Manchester, England like?
Okay, well I come from a city JUST outside of Manchester (I don't live in the United Kingdom anymore, thank God.) And can answer all your questions. Q1. Is it safe.? A. No, it is not. You will always hear stories on the news about burgalries, shootings, stabbing, etc. Not just in Manchester, but surrounding areas too. Q2. Are they kind to foreigners.? A. Well, not exactly. Infact, foreigners are more likely to be involved in attacks in Manchester than any other race. I don't know why, ti's just on the news it's always about foreigners getting jumped and that. Q3. Is it easy to get lost.? A. Not really, there are a lot of small narrow streets and alleyways but other than that it's pretty straight forward. Q4. What is the food like.? A. Well, there are a lot of curry, kebab, fish & chip, asian take away shops in Manchester. At least one on every bloody corner. So just walk to steps out of your hotel or wherever you're staying and voila. Q5. Shopping experience.? There is this big shopping mall in the centre called the Old Trafford and it's a pretty decent shopping place. Quite small though. Rows of shops in every street in the centre. 6. A normal bottle of water anywhere in the UK costs around 89p to 1(pound).79p Basically, you could pick somewhere nicer to stay. :$
Are people in New Zealand Friendly?
It may depend on whom you ask. In my experience, visitors from the Netherlands, Scotland, France, Germany, and Israel tend to find New Zealanders "unbelievably friendly all the time", whereas especially Anglo Canadians, US-Americans, and people from England are frequently in a state of shock soon after their arrival because they tend to find the New Zealanders "moody and rude". Personally, when I arrived in New Zealand from England a few years ago, I managed to have my high arrival spirits darkened within a mere hour of arriving in Dunedin, the "Scottish City" in New Zealand, because I simply couldn't cope with the curt and indifferent manner even professionals behind the counter displayed. It all seemed rather agricultural to me in the behaviour department, compared to Manchester. The difference between Australian and New Zealand speech or accents, in my opinion, is that Australians seem to pitch their "e"s and "a"s even higher than the New Zealanders ("yis, thet's right"), whereas New Zealanders can really startle you by pronouncing "ea" within a word like "ee" ("keep your heed down", not your head). You'll also notice that Australians are quicker to use banter and lingo, and can be much more chatty than New Zealanders. Australian English ("Strine") is legendary, and I love it. It's full of hilarious expressions and such fun to listen to. New Zealanders are quieter, and tend to express themselves more carefully.
Why are people from manchester so jealous of scousers?
All of the above - obviously - but you forgot to add.. Because we have a lower crime rate than them Because we have less racial tension than them Because we have a UNESCO world Heritage site Because we have beachers Because we have fewer BNP voters/ members than them Because we have better architecture Because we have better Galleries, museums, theatres, and musicians Because we are more famous Because we have a European cup to keep for good Because plonkers like Derek don't come and visit us after he finally got the message.
What is Manchester really like?
Manchester is like any other place in the UK. The locals (Mancunians) are nice people some like talking about football so i think its to do with the football. Best not to mention like arsenal, Chelsea west ham and so on........... I wouldn't say Manchester is a dump it just has allot of council blocks and red brick terraces. For me I am a city person and love cities. This doesn't really effect me. I would say the south of manchester is the best part. Manchester has the two greatest football teams in the UK man city and united. It has the Arnadle in the centre, Chinatown, art gallery's, Manchester eye and other shops within the Greater Manchester urban area. It has brilliant night life, good transport, good schools and loads of jobs Here is a list of what I find of the city suburbs. Good Areas: Didsbury (expensive) Withington (student and family area) Fallowfield (student area) Chorlton(cheaper than Didsbury) Maybe you can try visiting Didsbury and Chorlton because they are the best areas of Manchester and has nice cafess, nice little shops and its really safe there. Bad Areas: Moss side(black community) Longsight(Asian community and quite rundown) Gorton(not a nice area) Newton Heath(rough) Openshaw(bit tatty and dull) Moston(some parts) Cheetham Hill(filled with drug dealers and gangs etc) I hope this helps. Its to do with common sense and and dont walk in back streets, dont leave your car unlocked etc. I hope you do come to visit.
Brighton, Manchester or London to live?
Need to decide soon on which city I will move to. All three have their pros and cons, but I'd like to hear of other peoples' experiences/points of view, who have either lived in or visited all three cities. I've been to all three cities only briefly, so can't really make a knowledgeable decision just yet.
Is Manchester a nice place to live?
Manchester is a strange place. It is a hidden gem but only if you dig deeper.Manchester is a nice or okayy place to live … but that only for average people , like me and youIt has a richness of culture... or maybe too much of it. lots and a variety of schools .. but then again education system is brain washing people in general anyway.lots of great stores, shops, warehouses, shopping centres.. at a great price and affordable to shop at.. but maybe too compactlots of houses and apartments to rent and buy.. at a good price.. but then again these houses cant be compared to EuropeSeriously the weather sucks.. wet , gloomy, damp it is most of the time.. and this makes the people and environment very depressingBut again you have to dig deep in life
