Unfortunately, the time came to pack up and leave Liverpool. I loved my time spent in this city but the trip must go on and Manchester was waiting for us. After some hotel breakfast we got back onto the bus and made our way to Media City in Manchester. First, we talked to Annabelle from […]

Day Eight: The Happiest of Birthdays
When I read ‘MediaCity’ on the itinerary, I did not expect it to be such a literal description of my birthday setting. A jam-packed bus sang Happy Birthday to me and rode us from Liverpool into Manchester for the day and a night’s stay. We walked into a complex of buildings that included part of […]
Reflecting
After having almost a three hour delay coming home yesterday, I am shocked that I managed to wake up early. I guess my brain is still on London time no matter how little sleep I get. During the delay, the flight home and this morning my mind has drifted back to this lovely trip. I […]
Day 9: Short Flight to Scotland
So long Manchester, hello Scotland! We left our hotel this morning and headed to Manchester Airport, which was fairly close to our hotel. For some reason, the coach that we took to the airport was the fanciest bus we have had the entire trip. It was a double-decker bus with lots of room for storage, […]
Day Eight: We sat on the famous red couch
With one final morning in Liverpool, our next destination was Manchester. The distance between Manchester and Liverpool was about 45 minutes by bus. Truthfully, we were all tired and so the bus ride felt like 5 minutes by the time we finally arrived. Our first stop was the University of Salford in which their media […]
Day 8: “Jeff Goldblum Sat Here”
Today we left Liverpool and headed to the University of Salford for a lecture from both Dr. Annabelle Waller and James Probert. At first, I thought the university had much less room than Point Park until Dr. Waller informed us this was just one branch and the main campus holds 24,000 students. Needless to say, […]
Day 8: Media in Manchester
Our day started pretty early this morning as we left our hotel in Liverpool and headed 40 minutes on a bus to Manchester. We started our busy day of media visits with a tour around MediaCity UK and the University of Salford. MediaCity UK used to be an old dockyard, and now it is the […]
Day Eight: Dona Makes an Appearance
Today’s adventures began with an early morning wake up call in Liverpool. We boarded our bus and began a short journey up to Salford, a suburb of Manchester. Once we were there, we arrived in what is known as the Manchester Media City. This is an aptly named area as it is home to multiple […]
High Tech in MediaCity
Today’s schedule was a blast from the past. While I am a photographer and not a media or film major, going to MediaCity UK brought back many memories to me. In high school, I was part of the theatre crew where I worked with the lighting and sounds boards. The first place we went to […]
