Being a tour guide

I was a tour guide for auntie sheung & cousin sharon today.

To be honest, I can't think of any place when it comes to showing people around. Maybe I'm not knowledged enough about Manchester!? Anyway, I took auntie and cousin to the Old Trafford Stadium of Manchester United first - to be precise, it was the mega store of the football club that I took them to. They were not interested in the stadium but the mega store where they bought some t-shirts for uncle and cousin's brother. Since we bought day tickets for tram, we tried to make use of the tickets by going to different places. Our next stop was the Lowry Outlet Mall. I didn't mean to take them there but since they were not interested in the Media City where BBC was situated, I think it was better to take them to the nearby shopping mall where they could do some shopping! They did find some good bargains. I had thought aunt would buy something expensive but surprisingly she was very careful about her spending and she seemed to know the prices of a lot of things in HK, e.g. kitchen utensils, clothes. She didn't spend anything more than £10 for an item!

Our lunch was at Morrisons in Eccles. After lunch, we did a bit of shopping at Morrisons. Again, I got to know more about my aunt & cousin through their shopping. Auntie Sheung is quite healthy and she prefers vegetables, fruits and porridge!

We dropped off our shopping bags before heading to the city centre for more shopping. The weather today was actually quite bad - windy and rainy. When we got to the city centre, auntie sheung seemed to be quite tired already. We only went to a few more shops like TK Maxx, Primark, LV shop, 1-pound shop ,etc. They didn't buy anything besides some pants that cousin bought for her friends. We then went to a Japanese restaurant for early dinner before going home.

It was a tiring day as we had walked a lot!! Aunt and cousin went to bed at 9 p.m.! I continued going online till midnight...

It seems auntie and cousin can eat more than I do!
