that was mean spirited. Manchester isn’t shitty. But many Americans are very nice.

The fact is, you said “I hate Americans” . And that’s cool and everything, I think anyone with half a brain realizes that you say things on the basis of what makes you seem cool. And, verily, it is cool to hate Americans. Have fun in shitty Manchester! Ha ha.

Don’t forget I also think Brits have bad teeth and all Americans are fat. And Germans wear suspenders while eating sausages and beer.

Generalising for everyone!

Imagine if a Brit said to you, “I hate kiwis”. You would probably think they were a complete arsehole and you’d wonder how they could make such sweeping statements.

Yes, I hate Americans, blacks, people with floppy hair, people with white shirts, and people with spinach in their teeth.

You hate Americans? Very cool! Generalizations are great. Because we’re all exactly the same. Sorta like how people used to say “I hate blacks.” Nice one there, Ani!

It is REALLY expensive. People tend to pay the same (or loads more in London) for rent but in pounds, but earn half as much.

For example, my 1-bedroom apartment is £600. My old 1-bedroom flat in Houston was $550. However, my salary in pounds is less than half of what my old salary was in US dollars.

Food is also pretty expensive, but the quality is higher – fresher fruit and vegetables, but a poor selection if you live in the city and don’t have a car.

There are less outdoors areas in or around the city, and the city is very bike-unfriendly.

I tells ya, sometimes I really miss Texas. But then I remembered that I hate Americans.

So, if I may ask, how do living expenses in Manchester compare with Houston?

A paper journal? Darn Ani, paper doesn’t even have a backlight… go get a Newton off ebay, or maybe this half-assed last century thingy http://www.selwyn.co.uk/Pen+Input+Solutions/Digimemo+and+software/Digimemo

Some nice pics there! I bow to you for the bravery of actually bathing a cat. Would you like to drop by and try doing that with mine? He sorta needs it…
