I will be making two week visit in manchester in August. I will be staying with friends for a couple of days but i don't what to burden them for an extended period of time. Does anybody have any suggestions regarding hostels? Also, how far does the american dollar go nowadays?

I have my reasons. A friend of mine is working there this summer and i thought it would be a good time to escape faraway. Do you suggest Disney world instead?
The American dollar goes nowhere over here except back in your pocket. It's about as welcome as crabs.
London's a better break than Manchester, more things to see and do.

Yeah but Dundee is better again. in cultural terms anyway.
The Weston Hall dorms at University of Manchester have pretty good rates. It's 45 pounds a night for the "hotel" part. It's an old UMIST dorm on Sackville Street if that means anything to you. There are some neat indie type clubs right around there.. and you are within short walking distance of the tram and a gazillion buslines. (as well as an independent movie theater and the site of the hacienda and old factory offices)
I am going in July and got the student rate (82 pounds a week) because I'm technically still enrolled there.

I wouldnt go on holiday to manchester. If i'm honest. Might be something to do with the fact i live there.

Really???????
Yeah...well visiting maybe more than a vacation.
I'm more shocked that an American is going on "holiday" at all. Must have caught the bugus anglophiacus. It's rampant this time of year.

got a passport?? most yanks aint got one.
Looks like I'll have to reactivate the "Great things about MANCHESTER" thread.WOT? There isn't one yet? ...Oh hang on.
Looking forward to the LIverpool pissup.Grant have a good holiday down there mate.Don't falling off the edge!
Like i said, i have my reasons for going. I caught the traveling bug recently, and like i said my pal is working over there this summer. I will also be attending a festival that my friend is spinning at. And yes, I have a passport. I also will try to get to london but$$$$ is tight. Is it so strange to visit the city that your musical heros hail from? I think not. Curiosity, really.
Btw. Christy it's good to see you around.
