Birmingham, UK vs Venice, Italy

These 2 places are like hell and heaven, don't ask me which one is hell and which one is heaven, but one of them is only 2 hrs drive (train) from my home, another one is thousand miles away. You may think it would be cheaper for me to go to Birmingham, no, you are wrong! wrong! wrong! To go to Birmingham, I need to pay £40 for a return train ticket, a direct train, no fuss. To go to Venice, I need to first take a train to Manchester Airport (cost £5.80 return), then here is the meat, take a low-cost airline "Jet2" to Venice (cost £29), a total cost of £36!! Wonderful. I should consider to do my shopping in Venice now, as it maybe cheaper to go to Europe than go to any Big Cities in UK!

That mean, a trip to Venice before I come back is inevitable!
