Manchester

Manchester City is a pretty wild college town to say the least. About a 20 minute bus ride from The University of Manchester is the actual city and it is pretty crazy as well. Our team arrived at the hotel and we had no idea what we were in for. The first night we walked around looking where the best spots to go around for the following evening would occur. One place "Revolution" had an incredible deal. Anything you bought at the bar had potential to be doubled. Once you ordered your drinks, the bartender would would say "Heads or Tails" and you would give your answer. Depending on what you called you could double up on whatever you ordered or if you lost you would only receive what you paid for. Around 1:50 a.m. everyone left and scattered to get food before we had to be back in the hotel. There was a place very similar to Yia Yia's and it served pizza and then there was a fried chicken place. Once we got our food we returned to the hotel. The next day was ours to enjoy. We went into the city and met some very, very interesting people. We stopped at a local restaurant to get some food. A man came in with his girlfriend, who was intoxicated, began to create a scene. He brought a branch in with him. A few moments later the man began to eat the branch. It was quite a show as the entire restaurant began watching, however soon they were kicked out. With tons of stores and casinos there is plenty to do in Manchester. I think I lost about 2 pounds with playing the slots. They were very confusing. The sophomores and freshman returned to the hotel, then drove to a field to give a clinic to local English kids. After the clinic we returned to the hotel ready for night 2 in Manchester. As the night carried on we wanted to go to "The Queen of Hearts." However, so did the entire college of Manchester. The line stretched for about 200 yards and there was no way I was going in. About 30 minutes later I returned and some buddies were right by the door so I hopped in line with them. We waited about 2 minutes and we were in. "The Queen of Hearts" was a pretty special place. There were some very unique individuals who drank some mysterious fluids, who most likely were to get sick in the near future. Thankfully it was no one who we knew. We stayed here until we returned to the hotel. The next morning we had to get up early and catch a fairy into Dublin. One individual made this the funniest morning I have ever had. Manchester is a wild city that any young person would enjoy. The nightlife is pretty remarkable. The town is a college student's dream. There are kids everywhere you turn your head. If you ever get the chance to visit England, I would absolutely recommend going to Manchester and experiencing a whole new meaning to going out and seeing some unique people.
