WARWICK *CASTLE* - ENGLAND

Calling all knights, Princesses, Kings & Queens?!
Mediaevel England is bought back to life at Warwick Castle
but the history of the castle dates back to the 10th century.

Weekend trip @ uk [ part I ]

MANCHESTER TRIP...


Location : Manchester United Football Club (MUFC stadium)

Time : 19th June 2010 - 9.30am to 5.45pm

Weather : 12'' Degree Celsius , strong wind (cool)!
The most popular football club on earth. Most people have heard something of the triumphs and tragedies both on and off the pitch at Old Trafford, do you really know about it?? (especially MU's fans) :)
THEREFORE, we paid and visited into THE MUSEUM..
A visit to the sacred trophy room lets us share in every timeless victory.
Every story of heroes -- Busby, Charlton, Law, Best, Ferguson, Cantona, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney...
BESIDES, an hour of stadium tour lead by Steward really excited and enjoyable..he explained, expressed, explored everything in the stadium..
with the Old Trafford tour we can see the stadium through the eyes of Manchester United Greats themselves. FROM the North Stand to Alex Ferguson's pitch, to the atmosphere-soaked player's dressing room, carry the roar of thousand and thousand fans in your ears...

(Briefing by Steward - handsome guy)

ANYWAY, MUFC was just a nice place to visit..love it sooo much :)


P/S: enjoy the vid...
