| In the 1996-97
academic year, Nick

was selected to participate in a Fulbright Teacher Exchange.
Nick exchanged classes with IT Instructor, Peter Goulden of City College Manchester, England.
This is an account of that exchange. |

Peter and Catherine
Goulden's house in Heaton Moor where I lived during my first month
in England. It is actually two attached houses with a brick wall and hedges -
typical of British houses. Photo on the right is their
backyard. Their two cats are hiding in the bushes somewhere. |

Manchester City
Center with a view of Piccadilly Gardens on a quiet Sunday morning.
The red brick building is the University of Manchester Science &
Technology. The building on far right had all its windows blown
out, the result of an IRA bomb in July 1996, one month before I
arrived in Manchester.
