弟名Karten，係ManPass今年既President，行 年二十有一，係MBS讀緊IBFE。家在Sir Charles只貪 呢度返MBS唔駛三分鐘，但上九點堂仍然係不可能。 典型弱體人，係香港怕熱美國就怕凍。晚飯時間主 要出沒大家樂同富記，或者月尾會龜係屋企捱窮人 三寶（叮叮，意粉同咖哩飯）。熱愛體育，間中籃 球遊水跑步做占消磨時間，亦會在家e-sport。曾經熱 愛台上分身飾演自己但人老左無咩機會再係台上發 光發亮，目標廿七歲前結到婚而夢想則係四十歲時 有能力可以到第三世界國家身體力行。

黎緊都希望ManPass可以帶比大家有趣而豐盛既一 年。好希望係o-day同welcome fair同埋往後既活動都 會見到大家啦！

ello, 我係Lawrence, 係今年嘅副會長。講返少少個人資 料先啦，我今年就19歲，升大學二年級，修讀Business Studies and Economics。其實上年呢個時候係我第一次海外留學。由於 我自細就係香港讀書一直讀到中學畢業，所以我希望趁住大學 呢個最後機會出國讀書。 點解我當初會加入ManPASS呢？主要嘅原因就係我好支持PASS 嘅創辦目的，就係鼓勵喺外國讀書嘅你哋多D關注我哋香港嘅 時事新聞，同埋透過義工服務多D了解唔同社區嘅需要。咁當 然我哋ManPASS唔喺陣喺得呢D咁學術性嘅活動啦，我哋亦都 喺一個薈萃香港學生嘅平台，等大家可以一齊感受大學嘅生 活！ 我哋ManPASS雖然只係成立咗短短三年既時間，但係我哋今年 希望做D大膽嘅嘗試、搞搞新意思，例如嚟緊我哋會搞我哋首 屆嘅O-Camp, 希望你哋會嚟支持我哋啦！ 5

ello, 我係Angus. 雖然我係讀政治, 但係 我份人都唔係咁悶, 咁認真架咋. 我平時得閒 鐘意聽歌同睇下書, 暑假就做下野, 約下fd咁, 所以我諗我唔算摺既. 除此之外,我都好鐘意 係放假果陣去旅行,歐洲想食野買野又得,睇歷 史古蹟又有, 想hea又得, 總有好多目的地可以 揀. 我入U前都有少少怕羞, 但係我又唔想渾 渾噩噩過左大學, 決定要挑戰一下自己, 所以 就揀左入PASS, 一開始玩玩下, 但係玩落就覺 得其實PASS幾有意義, 冇想像中咁悶, 仲有機 會試到好多新野添. 不過鐘意做咩都好, 一定 唔好令自己三年既大學生活留白:) 6

家好, 我叫Jenny。上年我同大家一樣係fresher,咩都 唔識嘅year 1 學生。進入新嘅階段,踏入新嘅環境,邊個都 會驚啦!但老套啲講句, 還好我識到一班志同道合嘅 朋友同 參加左啲社團活動。係啦!所謂嘅社團就係ManPASS啦!離 鄉背井, 由香港搭十幾個鐘去到Manchester, 仲要成年等到 暑假先翻!當時係度諗, 我會唔會慢慢對香港嘅時事日漸生 疏呢? 但真係估唔到Man U有一個society會閒唔閒聚埋一 齊去chinatown飲茶傾計,講下香港時事!參加得多社團活動, 就開始做埋sub-committee。上年我係under SS(social services) 嘅department,做SS係開心嘅! 仲識到班新朋友, 賺左 啦! 今年我仲做埋committee, 希望會認識到更多有興趣做 SS同想繼續係英國了解香港時事既朋友仔啦! 7

CNY Dinner A Chinese New Year dinner was held on 24th January at a restaurant located in China Town this year. Despite the fact that our families are halfway across the world, we enjoyed authentic and traditional Chinese cuisine to celebrate the joyous and jubilant festival. Inter-table games were also played to recuperate after the exams.
Gallop to the New Year 關愛暖新春 To celebrate the Year of the Horse, a charity sale was organized on 3rd February, at Student Union G/F. Enticing homemade sushi were made and pan-fried Chinese New Year rice cake were served. Handwritten and personalized red couplets were also sold. A lot of university students, both Chinese and foreign, came over to our stall to support and donate. A great amount was raised for the Manchester Chinese Centre, which was then used to fund the homeless and disabled people in Manchester. 13

The Bubble Day The Bubble Day is an annual charity event to be held every February. Our theme, bubble, is a symbol of protection and security, and reminds us of happy and innocent children. We plan to produce bubbles to protect children’s dreams --- to raise funds for different charitable organizations to help the children in need, and fulfil their dreams. This year, the Bubble Day was held on 17th February, at Student Union G/F. We cooperated with ICFT (I Come From Taiwan), a bubble tea shop in ChinaTown, to sell different flavoured bubble tea. Exquisite homemade cupcakes were also baked. The event was a great success and a generous amount was raised for the Hope for Children, which strives to help children reach their full potential. 14

Manchester Chat: 傳媒不行鳥 Given that Hong Kong dropped from number 18 in 2002 to number 58 in the World Press Freedom Index in 2014, 傳媒不行鳥 was held on 19 February to investigate issues related to Hong Kong’s press and media. A pseudo-debate was prepared by sub-committee members to brief participants about whether the government, the public and the media are to blame for the declination of press freedom. Participants were then divided into groups to discuss news regarding press freedom. Mainland students also participated in the discussions, expressing their views on the difference between Hong Kong press freedom and mainland press freedom. A dinner gathering was organised after the event to celebrate its success and to celebrate a committee member’s birthday.

Jack Wills, Superdry, River Island呢D英 國名牌你一定認識，但係以下嘅你又聽過 未？
Primark
Select
你以為H&M已經係最平？咁你 就大錯特錯啦！位於Piccadilly Gardens巴士總站附近嘅Primark衫褲鞋袋平到無人有，一 個袋一對鞋平到£4-5都有。 不 過當然啦，一分錢一分貨，品 質一定無咁好架啦，個紙袋都 易爛過人。前排有幾篇報道指 Primark出售血汗工廠生產嘅產 品，唔同嘅顧客喺件衫到揾到 紙條投訴要工作超時致筋疲力 盡，等等。所以，幫唔幫襯， 你自己話事啦！
呢間Select唔係百佳個佳之選， 而係同New Look差唔多，價錢 同H&M差唔多嘅“比較便宜貨” 。一件靚衫賣£8,ok啦! 衫褲裙鞋 耳環咩都有!佢閒唔閒就有啲衫 打折,咁你都可以試下閒唔閒入 去兜翻個圈,話唔定你會有意外 收穫呢!
New Look Ladies注意啦!!位於大商場Arndale嘅New Look有兩層, 第二層 更可以稱為shoe heaven!每次試 鞋都可以試半至一個鐘。其實 New Look賣得都可以算係平靚 正。當然,佢無Primark咁平啦!但 佢都係平平地,物有所值嘅。一 個袋£12,一對平底鞋£9.99,算係 咁啦下話!係貴過Primark啲啲架 啦，但我買左對鞋著左半年都 仲幾新淨。係英國買對幾耐著 嘅鞋好重要架!你應該都知英國 成日落雨!係~我知~落雨又有咩 好怕喎..怕係怕在對鞋著左一個 月就要揼左去啫!怕你肉赤呀!
如果以上嘅你都無興趣或者唔足 夠俾你燒錢，咁我會推介你去自 己探索Piccadilly Gardens 巴士站 附近嘅Arndale Shopping Centre 或者其中一個全歐洲最大嘅商 場Trafford Centre。去Arndale有 H&M，Accessorize， American Apparel，Bank，Claire’s，Dorothy Perkins，等等，而Trafford 隨左無AA之外，以上講嘅都 有，甚至仲有Forever 21，Banana Republic，Guess，同好 多好多其他牌子添！不過相比 Arndale，Trafford遠好多，而且 Trafford好大，所以除非你玩迷 宮有一手，否則你都唔好諗住第 一次去就可以無迷路咁順利離 開！

食 中餐
想食翻中菜，梗係Chinatown入 面最集中。雖然同倫敦果個相 比規模相差甚遠，但話曬都係 全英國第二大，嫌棄之餘你平 時同距都有好多交集，有必要 了解下。食點心可以去雅苑或 者皇城。雅苑點心有七折，皇 城點心逢星期日半價，比較抵 食。通常一個人7磅左右已經可 以食得好飽。如果想坐得舒服d 環境好d嘅，可以試下羊城，出 品會比前面兩間精緻。食燒味 可以去大家樂（Happy Season） ，係嘅曼城都有大家樂… 食川 菜可以去紅辣椒，味道偏重不 過距個片皮鴨性價比好高，鍾 意食嘅要試下。呢間店係Whitworth Park正對面都有，而且大 間d。 係Chinatown入面，都有d亞洲 其它國家嘅美食。譬如想食越 南粉，可以去pho，距係Chinatown入面唯一一間越式餐廳。 想食泰國菜，Try Thai比較出 名。 離開Chinatown，都有唔少食中 菜嘅地方。
離開Chinatown，都有唔少食 中菜嘅地方。如果想順便買埋 餸，可以去永興隆樓上嘅Tai Pan。如果想食海鮮，可以去 AMC附近試下海寶。味道好， 但係價錢偏貴。 食完正餐，就用你第二個胃食 甜品！Wasabi樓上有中式甜 品， 距個芝麻糊必試！香滑濃 鬱！如果想飲奶茶，Chinatown 有ICFT，Arndale入面Lidl超市 出面都可以買倒。
韓國菜
曼城都有唔少韓國餐廳。Seoul Kimchi 同Ban Di Bul都唔 錯。Seoul Kimchi係韓國人開 嘅，伺應生啊廚師啊都係韓國 人，味道正宗。而Ban Di Bul 貌似係中國人開嘅，味道都可 以，大間好多同埋有爐食韓燒。
西餐 去Deansgate行下你都 會發現好 多好野食！Deangate主要係食西 餐，有好多裝修唔錯嘅小店。 Slug and Lettuce 嘅Pork Ribs唔 錯，而且禮拜一去有半價！如 果食義大利菜，一定要去San Carlo Cicchetti ，地點House of Fraser G層，出品好精緻好味 道， 價錢合理。一定要試嘅都 係Pork Ribs同埋開心果味嘅蛋 糕。我試過嘅都唔係好多，自 己再慢慢發掘下！ 21

住 School Halls Manchester嘅School Hall分為三 大Campus：City Campus (CC) ，Victoria Park Campus (VC) 同 埋Fallowfield Campus (FC)。CC 固明思意就係近市中心，無論 去Arndale shopping mall，定落 China Town都只需步行5分鐘就 到；但係相對地行番學就要起 碼要15分鐘啦。 VC係最近學校嘅Campus，另外 多數catered嘅hall、全男(St. Anselm’s Hall)、全女(St. Gabriel’s Hall) 嘅hall都係集中喺呢個campus度。
22
值得一提嘅係呢度每個hall都佢 自己獨特嘅文化同特色㗎。 FC就係最遠既，如果你唔喺行 慣路嘅話都幾難堅持到朝朝行45 分鐘返學。雖然呢個campus最 遠，但係勝在租金夠平。同埋 如果大家打算買bus pass嘅話（ 通常D人都買㗎啦），可以選擇 係Oxford Road搭巴士返學同去 市中心。順帶一提，聽講Oxford Road係全歐洲最多巴士行嘅一 條路之一，閒閒哋都有成20條巴 士線係可以去到大學，所以就算 你住Fallowfield都唔洗擔心要等 好耐巴士㗎。 好啦講埋School Hall嘅設施啦。 相信大家都知Manchester係一間 幾有歷史嘅大學嚟嘅，所以房少 不免係會比較殘舊㗎啦。另外如 果你比人編咗去一個你唔想著住 既hall度係可以上訴到嘅，不過 以個人經驗呢，我會勸你唔好抱 太大期望啦，因為我對英國人做 野嘅效率好有保留。 如果房入 邊嘅設施壞咗咁又點算？
啦，住School Hall嘅你就唔洗擔 心lak，學校有個online system比 你隨時上報，過幾日就會有人免 費上門幫你搞掂佢㗎啦。一言 以蔽之，雖然School Hall係舊D 但係就勝在可以識到好多左鄰右 里，同埋唔洗搞咁多野嘛。
Private Hall嘅房有分studio（即 係有自己open kitchen既套房） 亦有D係幾個人share嘅flat。 點揀就好視乎你第一年嘅經驗 啦。如果你地第一年識到班好 朋友又可以住埋一齊嘅話係一 件幾開心嘅事嚟嘅，但係如果 你想要番D私人空間，你亦都可 以選擇住studio。 Private hall 嘅 Private Halls 價錢會因設施既完善程度而有 Private Hall就係一D非學校管 所不同，不過絕大部分嘅Private 轄嘅hall，而呢D hall通常都係 Hall都係好新淨嘅，同埋價錢通 設計比學生住嘅，所以命名為 常都平過School Hall㗎。 Private Hall。通常住完第一年 School Hall嘅你就會對出邊嘅 Renting Apartments Private Hall有興趣lak，因為你 會發覺你身邊嘅朋友仔都會陸續 講到自己租屋住啦wor，我諗應 搬去Private Hall度住，或者你自 該甚少有人第一年就自己租屋 己都想同三五知己一齊住。 由 住 㗎 啦 ， 通 常 D 人 都 係 去 到 第 於選擇Private Hall係要事前先 二、三年先出嚟租屋住嘅。租 做好資料蒐集同埋對學校附近嘅 屋住有咩好呢？最大嘅好處就 環境有一定嘅認識，所以通常都 係一個字，平。但係就比較麻 無乜香港人一嚟就住Private Hall 煩lak，因為所有電費呀、水費 嘅。 呀、連上網費等等都係要自己 定期交嘅，保安方面亦唔會好 似School Halls or Private Halls 咁完善，所以出入都要提高警 覺。通常D人想畢業前一嘗踏入 社會嘅滋味就會試下自己租屋 住lak。

對內 不要以為免費就沒有好東西， 曼 城 市 內 交 通 主 要 為 巴 士、Tram(類似香港輕鐵)和的 士。在MU校區內有不同種類的 巴士分別到達市內不同地方，在 這不能逐條介紹。然而有幾條 巴士線你們一定要知道，最為重 要的是147，此線星期一至星期 五服務，由Piccadilly Station一 直到達MU的醫院，經過Oxford Road大大小小的校舍，而最最 最最重要的是，只要你在校園 區上車而且在上車時出示MU學 生證就免費！ 另外曼城內亦有 幾條免費的巴士線，名為Metroshuttle 1/2/3。
24
這Metroshuttle雖然不在校園 區，但穿梭了曼城很多中心區， 而且班次頻密(6-10Mins)，最近 校園的巴士線是二號，而巴士站 則位於MMU All Saint Campus(詳 細地圖: http://goo.gl/8dKJcV)。 另外Tram所行駛的區域並不經 過MU校園區，而他們主要在曼 城內幾個火車話行駛，若果閒時 想探索一下曼城，可在Piccadilly Station或Arndale外上車。至於 的士亦有學問，平時在街外行走 的起錶假比電召更貴，所以如果 要搭的士的話，我更建議大家 先download曼市的士apps(Manchester Cars, TEL:01612283355)。
行 對外 係Weekend既時候，你地可能想 走出Man，去下其他地方玩，火 車就係最方便同最快既選擇。不 過我建議先申請一張Railcard， 一年要三十鎊，但係以後買火車 飛可以平三分之一，例如來回 倫敦正價要七十幾鎊,有Railcard 就只要五十幾鎊，而大部份火 車都係由Piccadilly車站開出。
單程搭火車去倫敦大約要兩個 幾三個鐘，搭巴士就要四個幾 五個鐘，價錢視乎早買定遲 買，一般來回十幾二十鎊，有 時早訂單程仲有一鎊飛添。
如果Christmas同Easter唔番香 港既話，其實可以下旅行。由 Piccadilly搭火車去機場只需二 十分鐘，而曼城機場有唔少廉 除此之外，仲有巴士可以揀， 航選擇，最大既有Easyjet同Ry主要有Megabus同National Ex- anair，佢地D票價真係好平，但 press。雖然比火車慢，但係價 係要留意係唔包寄艙行李架， 錢就平好多。 如果需要係要另外收費。 25
