Manchester

Another city with M

Honorable working city, industrial clothes legacy, that it looks like metal one to me, but it is not. Working class, immigrants hub, full of faith and different religions path. Manchester shows a gigantic love to everything new. People looking for the football fever, tourist escaping from London. Young fellows in the alternative gender world walking around on surf boards in a bar. Streets closed to traffic, full of bars, taverns, restaurants and not so good kebab fast food chain. Somehow people feel snob, but maybe they are discrete.

The tumult is big, the buildings look like a factory style and I feel lost in the architecture. I would like to find a joke to laugh or to find peace in those brick walls. I really don't know what to do, where to go, or what to look for, just to find the majesty of Manchester all.

The canal goes along the city. it goes through the city ending in the endless Irish sea. Manchester brings those vibes from a Roman city, to an industrial space, to a modern hip place. An example is the Canal Street, with its color, the people rainbow and the bars, makes Manchester a port to cider happiness. Museums, music, art, creative beings, all around make the city alive.

The beenetwork, those working bees, that make the most oldest train tracks to communicate again between cities, ports, airports, and more, I like the beenetowrk. I like how proud Manchester is about the Bee. It not only respresent the tracks but the working class that moves the city after-all.

Those wonderful days walking around getting to know the pulse of the city, to discover the one corner, the smallest alley, the most interesting neighborhood. I walked and walked to find the oldest fish market, the oldest boat sinking at the canal. I found how the city is building new ways to growth, to board those new habitants that are welcome.

I found out that the city is awake early and goes to sleep early too. I was surprised not to find a restaurant open after 9pm. It was hard to eat so late or to be out so long. It was a puzzle, a labyrinth, to look for that special space to drink a glass of wine without being thrown away from it.

I still enjoy the city and it was sad that I didn't have the time to search for more, to look for more, but I got the essence of it. I saw myself through the city and I found a part of me that somhow it became part of the Manchester too, like the picture that I took. On my rose wine glass, the city reflect itself. Amazing sunset light that when through my camera lenses, throught the wine of glass, and continue through projects to my eyes.

The bars, the taverns, the squares, the cathedral, the trendy places, the biggest mall in Trafford, the city in a go, moving, buzzing and most of all, trilling with energy from kids to adults.

As I went on until the fourth day came and it was time to go. I have to say that at the airport, you can flight everywhere around the world. The city is connecting with the Beenetwork with train, buses, and most of all airplanes. It is good communicating , situating and easy access to other cities in the UK. You can take the motorway to Liverpool, Leeds and even Windemere. I was suprised by its location and easy travel grid to move around in a wiz.
