A brief trip into Manchester city center (centre) today. Checked out a few free attractions - Manchester Museum of Art, John Rylands Library, Imperial War Museum North. Really only visited the Imperial War Museum for any meaningful length of time - which is housed in a flashy new building and has some interesting exhibits, though I think the Imperial War Museum in London has more to offer. Manchester is an interesting place - a kind of dynamic and youthful city, which excels in things like music, culture and sport. It has great public transport (I like the tram system a lot). But boy, is it an ugly city. Not very photogenic - and a bit too modern for my tastes as it sheds it's bleak industrial past.
