Day 183 - 189: I Am Not Selected

Date: 3 MARCH - 9 MARCH 2009

On the 3 March I got to know that I did not even got through the first round of the selection for the Best Job in The World. Was a little disappointed but oh well, what to do? Life still goes on. Not selected means that I can travel longer!!! YEAH!!! Although if selected, I get paid to travel but who cares? Life still goes on. Everything happens for a reason!!

On the 5 MARCH, I encountered the first hail of my life!!! Check it out.



Here's a photo of the hailstones.

You seldom get a clear blue sky in Manchester. It is usually very gloomy. However, that was the case on the 6 March and so we went out for some fun in the sun at a park nearby.

Who says a normal digital camera cant take great shots? If you know your camera well enough, yes you can!!

Day 182: Sightsee Manchester

Date: 2 MARCH 2009

Clayton has to go for classes today and so I went sightseeing Manchester with Jimmy. Although I have been in Manchester for quite awhile, I havent seen much of it yet. Manchester is an industrial revolution town and so most of the buildings you see here are made of red bricks.
