    Having lived on the Isle of Man all of my life I can safely say it is my favourite place in the world. It's so peaceful.

      Do you still live there? I am trying to relocate there from the US in the next few years and I was wondering if there are jobs for foriegners and more importantly how do the manx feel about foriegners working on theyre island. It sounds weird but I want to work on a sheep or goat farm or fish.

    I came to the Isle Of Man in 1974 with my Grandma and my sister.
    We left from Liverpool on a ship called Ben My Chree and enjoyed a wonderful time travelling over to Douglas.
    I remember it was very sunny, and I saw teams for the first time.
    Rest In Peace Grandma, every time I see tins of Shortbread I think of you.
    Love, Euan XX.
    Trams, not teams!

    Hello Vic, over the years I have been involved in long distance radio listening or DXing as it is known , As of 2006 after those many years at the radio dial, I was finally able to hear a signal using combined modes of radio from every independent country and continent on earth as well as many other territories/possessions as well . Along came an idea to me recently that I wanted to watch a travel type video from every independent nation in the world as well as the many other islands/territories. As of now I am about 10 countries away from viewing the entire list of independent nations in the world and that comes with a huge Thank you to you and the videos you have posted on You Tube . Watching yours and other people who have posted videos it has allowed me to see even a small portion of every nation on earth. Personally I have only visited Mexico, Canada and the United States so it has given me a great perspective of what other parts of the world are like . Once again Thank you so much I have really enjoyed the armchair travels. Happy New Year to you and all the Best from Carbonear, Newfoundland Canada

      Vic Stefanu - World Travels and Adventures Thanks to you for showing us this place, which until yesterday I did not know! I was looking for a city in Canada (Google Maps), and by mistake I ended up in a town of the UK! Then I looked across the UK and Ireland (Google Earth), and saw this island (Island of Man), which had never paid attention, and also do not remember seeing a documentary about her! I found interesting to be unique in this region! I approached, to observe it better, as it should be and what should be there! So caught my attention the city of Douglas by size; I approached, Google Earth, then searched videos on You Tube on the island and this city of Douglas! I had never heard of these places. I was amazed! As there are such wonderful places on earth, that most of us do not know! ... Thanks! ...

      IOM is absolutely beautiful. I was there last year and visited a few of the islands. And I did trek up the hill from the Promanade to 50 SCD, former Bee Gees home. It did rain but when the sun came out it was gorgeous. I spoke to quite a few locals; some saying they never wanted to leave and others saying they couldn't wait to get off of the island. A lot depends on age and experience. But the common thread was their love of their home and the beauty of it all. Would love to go back.

    I've known Douglas from the 1950s when I first visited as a child. After a gap of 36 years, I visited again in 2010. It was nice to see Douglas has not changed much and not lost its character. Quite a few of the old Victorian hotels have now been demolished but the replacements have been built to similar styles and fit in well with the Victorian style. The Loch Gardens are still as stunning as ever and are more than a match to those in Eastbourne.
    It's a shame that the horse trams no longer run to the sea terminal. Hopefully, common sense will prevail and it will be extended back to its original length.
    I'm now a regular visitor and will be back for my second visit this year shortly.
    Douglas is now officially a city, it was awarded with city status by the Late Queen Elizabeth as part of her Platinum Anniversary of her reign!

      you need to prepare your self for walking around the city Douglas, it is very wonderful and peaceful.
      check this website: www.visitisleofman.com/
      -If you have kids and they like Thomas the tank engine, then you need to visit the Isle Of Man station, The vintage railway tour.
      -if you are visiting in summertime make sure to head to the promenade and try the horse tram.
      -you need to visit Laxey Wheel.
      -if you are a fan of motorbikes then visit the island at the time of the TT race.
      -noticeably the taste of food there is delicious.

      I have very fond memories of holidaying for several summers during the 1970s in Douglas when I was a child . One of those years it was actually extremely hot because there was a legendary heat wave in 1976. Other times, however the weather could be damp but this never spoilt my fun. One of many memories that I have concerns waiting at the airport to fly back home to Belfast during a rainy afternoon in 1978 and having a hit song of that particular summer called 'Airport' by The Motors going around and around in my head ! (LOL) Precious memories, great chart music, fabulous times and a wonderful place. Long live the Isle of Man !!!
