I have finally got time to let everyone know what it was like for a Brit living on the Isle of Man teaching at Castle Rushen High.
I was living in Douglas the 'hub' of the Island. The IOM is a fantastic Island to visit for walks and of course the TT course. I cant say the nightlife is all that if you are in to extreme clubbing but if your their with friends you could try Outback, Colours, Paramount City and if your gay Guys n Dolls. The Isle of Man has its own currency, Manx pounds, but it will accept British Sterling. I found everything to be more expensive on the IOM but thats probably because they import everything.
The first picture is of Port Erin, and, the second is over looking the Calf of Man.
