Yes, the boats. One can even rent them as if it was a flat. This is amazing. When I first heard about people living in boats like that, I could barely believe it. I mean, isn't it fantastic when you can move your house over the water whenever and however you like in order to change the view?

When you go to airport, it's one thing. It's a very different Manchester when you actually visit the city :)
