Sorry for the markings/blur in places, it's the best I could get on these.

Chinatown Manchester

Lunar New Year in Calgary did not disappoint. It brought back my memories of going to Chinatown in Manchester when I was growing up.

So, haven't been posting much today. There's a reason for that:

I'm out of Ireland! Hello from Manchester, UK!

Off to a great start this morning, with the window seat next to mine being empty for the flight, and thus mine.

Landing also gave me a look at an Airbus A380:

And after arriving in Manchester, I had a nice walk around the City Centre. There's a statue to the blinded veterans of WWI outside the main train station:

Partook of the local cuisine:

Found a school that in any other city of the world would be massively over-specialised, but here you genuinely have options:

I ended up wandering through Manchester's Chinatown, a living reminder of Manchester's history as a major port city of the British Empire:

And arrived at my destination: The Gay Village, which is kind've stacked on top of Chinatown. Better historians than me can probably explain that better than I can.

There's a lovely little park called Sackville Gardens, that contains several memorials. Here's The Beacon of Hope, a memorial of those who've died as a result of the AIDS epidemic:

Here's a memorial to Manchester resident Alan Turing:

And here's where the Memorial to the Victims of Transphobic Violence used to be, until somebody burned it down during Manchester Pride 2022. The design of the replacement was revealed a couple months ago.

By the time I'd finished my walk, and had some lunch, it was half past four and all the museums close at five. So I hung around the city centre a bit longer, and then headed back to my hotel.

So that was day. Quite fun. Tomorrow, I go do what I'm here to do.

if i had a nickel for every major former industrial center city in the UK where Gay Village and Chinatown are right next to each other I’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but does contribute to the feeling that Manchester and Birmingham are the same cities in different fonts.

Fourth day in Manchester

Finally found the Chinatown and eating in one of the suggested restaurants…

Knowing me, I’ll finish in a couple of days, but boy was it the right choice to get crispy noodles.

Now Playing: Los Angeles

As Los Angeles prepares to host a series of major sporting events over the next decade, the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board (Los Angeles Tourism) today unveiled its latest campaign for Fall 2024 created by Allied Global Marketing, designed to highlight LA’s unparalleled diversity, vibrant spirit, and an array of experiences waiting to be discovered.

The multi-million dollar campaign will target international audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and the United Kingdom, along with key domestic markets including New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Salt Lake City.

The campaign features product-driven 30-second, 15-second and 6-second spots for a variety of audiences across multiple paid media platforms, and will also include key large-format out of home placements in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, London and Manchester.

The advertisements take viewers behind LA’s velvet rope and shines a light on a variety of neighborhoods in Los Angeles, including Chinatown and Leimert Park and leverages the iconic ‘Now Playing’ tagline, which has become synonymous with Los Angeles Tourism. It creatively adapts the tagline into variations like ‘Now Exploring,’ ‘Now Thrilling,’ ‘Now Inspiring,’ and ‘Now Vibing,’ to highlight the destination’s six key product pillars: arts and culture, dining and nightlife, shopping and fashion, outdoors and wellness, attractions and studios and pro sports and live events.

Los Angeles Tourism continues to spotlight the City’s latest offerings and developments under the banner of “LA 2.0.” The city is buzzing with demand generators, from the multi-billion-dollar modernization of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to the opening of cutting-edge venues like the Intuit Dome. Los Angeles’ vibrant culinary scene now boasts over 200 Michelin-rated restaurants, while the arts and cultural landscape is continually enriched by new and exceptional additions. This month, Los Angeles will kick off PST ART: Art & Science Collide, a landmark regional event led by the Getty and partnering arts institutions across Southern California. Running from September 2024 through February 2025, this initiative explores the intersection of art and science, both past and present, featuring 818+ artists and 60 exhibitions.
