A perfect transition!
Filed Under Daily
The internet was working just fine in my room. That was the first and most important thing. As soon as I plugged in and I saw my connection working I was relieved. YES! that was really my very first action when I moved into my new room. I am a true nerd!
The check-in at the airport was very simple, my luggage was 22 kg and my carry-on was not even checked. I was extremely careful this time to avoid the repetition of the dramatic check-in at Brisbane Airport. I was also 2 hours and half earlier for a domestic flight. The flight was quite an adventure. I had to transit throuh London Heathrow before getting to Manchester. The first connection was delayed for one hour and I thought I could not make it for the second flight. The second flight was delayed as well so I was perfectly on time. I arrived here about 40 min later than my initial estimated arrival time (6 pm). It was a bit hard to find the building due to a misleading mailing address. To my good surprise, my mobile phone was working just fine and I could call someone to help me out at the hall. A spanish girl, called Claudia, helped me to find the building in the end. I took a shower and went out to buy some errands and had my very first beer in a pub in Manchester city. Very nice trip and I really had a good impression.
Finally back to a civilized modern city. Dublin is a bit 3rd country like compared to Manchester. Everything is going so smoothly I still cannot believe it.
