My Northern England tour
Manchester, Liverpool Chester, very northern right? I went to Liverpool for a conference for 1 week and been town/city hopping everyday. I can't simply stay in just Liverpool and must see the others since I drove all the way here. It is a picture very heavy post.
Manchester
went to Manchester after we went to Leeds to visit the University. Mainly to see the Videogame nation for a book preparation (for my HK academic) and more shopping (yes! We love selfridges and big city) so we went to Manchester to have a look what is all about.
the URBIX Building
Is a popular culture museum (I think) and it is rather empty I must say. Where's the crowds?
The videogame nation exhibition at URBIX Manchester, which will last I think until September. You can play every single game console that exist and the very popular games as well. Entrance fee: 2 quid
Enjoying the long forgotten game, yes how old was this game? Must be over 20 years old.
Oh yum! Gaucho in Manchester. Gaucho is a middle class china selling Argentinian steak. Very chic!

Liverpool
what else to do in Liverpool other than giving lectures?

Chester
Chester is a town where the footballers live. Yes,it is posh town and you can see all the big brands around. Unfortunately we went there as a tourist looking for some Englishness.

Thanks for the pics!! I worked in Leeds for 18 months on a project (and lived in an apartment overlooking the river during the week) so I have some fondness for the North!
