An American tourist has given his frank assessment and “proper analysis” of Manchester<\/a> after his first visit to the famed northern city. Known for its rich history, industrial heritage, and cultural significance, Manchester is a major UK city with an interesting, rich history<\/a>.<\/p>\n The birthplace of the industrial revolution, Manchester has established itself as a cultural icon thanks to its thriving music scene, its legendary and world<\/a> famous football clubs, its impact on science and much more. It’s a popular city among tourists from the UK and beyond. The American man, who goes by the name Kjordy on YouTube<\/a>, shares content about his travel<\/a> experiences on social media. In a recent video, he filmed himself strolling through the streets of Manchester, giving his candid opinion on the iconic city.<\/p>\n He began: “So after being in Manchester properly for the past three days, I think I can have a proper analysis.<\/p>\n “One of the most underrated parts about Manchester, the fact that it’s such a big city from the outside but anywhere you go, I swear to you, I was like a 10-minute walk from my hotel.”<\/p>\n He then praised the locals for being “so freaking chill”, and panned his camera to show a street artist strumming an electric guitar as proof.<\/p>\n Kjordy continued: “This feels like London if London people were actually kind of nice there. There, I said it. I’m sorry.”<\/p>\n Manchester’s architecture is varied, reflecting its history, but Kjordy said if he were to be “completely blunt and honest” it “looks like most cities” he’s “been to in the UK”.<\/p>\n He elaborated: “Most British cities, and I dare say even European cities, look very, very similar.<\/p>\n “I really wish I could lie to y’all [and tell] you there was a difference but there’s really no difference. It is pretty though, it is really, really pretty.”<\/p>\n Kjordy then moved on to the “important stuff” – the Mancunian accent.<\/p>\n He said: “Where does the Mancunian accent rank amongst them? I thought it was gonna be annoying but funny enough, it’s actually not that strong. I found the Liverpool one way more jarring than the Manchester one.”<\/p>\n Kjordy was blown away by the tram system and said it makes Manchester really “feel like a European city”.<\/p>\n He then spotted the abundance of worker bee symbols seen throughout the city, but confessed he wasn’t aware of their significance.<\/p>\n Wrapping up his thoughts, Kjordy added: “I think Manchester is a pretty sick city. I don’t think there’s nothing crazy about it but there’s nothing bad about it. High-mid tier for British cities.”<\/p>\n In the comments section, fellow YouTube users were eager to share their thoughts.<\/p>\n One person said: “I visited Manchester for the first time in 2023 (I’m from London) and I thought the architecture was super different and interesting.<\/p>\n “You don’t get that dark red stone in London. Lots of grand old buildings and I loved the canals and railway viaducts everywhere. Very cool.”<\/p>\n Another commented: “As a Londoner, Manchester is my favourite English city. Great for restaurants, pubs, bars and music but it’s the people that make it so special. Mancunians are down to earth, friendly and often f***ing hilarious”.<\/p>\n A third person added: “I love Manchester, it is so pretty, people are nice, the architecture is different with the red stone!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An American man has visited Manchester for the first time and shared his honest thoughts on the city,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,16,15,1737],"class_list":{"0":"post-546448","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-youtube"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115486404358454862","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
