Manchester trip (21 February 2009)

It was my first visit to Manchester and thanks to the HKMas for organizing such a great one-day trip for us. We first arrived at the Sugden Sports Centre, where the sporting event organized by the University of Manchester was held. The HKMas did not participate in this sports event and I joined other members for a sight-seeing trip around the Manchester city. Manchester is well-known for being a city of sport. Our first destination was the City of Manchester Stadium, which is known as the largest club football ground in the United Kingdom. We spent about an hour there taking pictures around before we went to the next destination - Chinatown. Chinatown is one of the busiest and most colourful areas of city centre Manchester. When we reached Chinatown, it was about lunch time. Therefore, we decided to have ‘dim sum’ as our lunch at one of the famous Chinese restaurant. All of us enjoyed having our lunch there as the food is inexpensive with excellent quality. We managed to spend few hours shopping and taking photographs before the end of the trip. Overall, it was a great day trip and I think everyone enjoyed it.

This trip has brought a closer relationship between the committee members and the members. It also enable each of us get to know new friends through the trip. We also get to know a footballer who made our society proud. Best of all, we get to eat so much delicious “dim sum” in China Town with such low price. We get to visit different tourist spots within Manchester Town. It would be better if we had a longer trip so that we can enjoy the shopping. Overall, I would like to thanks HKMAS for making an effort to make this trip a success.
