Trip to Oxford

Taken from the top of the Carfax tower

We had a great time on our trip to Oxford last weekend … I took quite a few pics, particularly of the landscape while on the train but many didn’t turn out so well. The trip itself was great, we took a full bus tour and saw most of the interesting sites, from Christ Church to the Carfax tower and the [Museum of the History of Science](http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/). They’ve got an original blackboard there on which Einstein scribbled some equations for determining the age of the Universe! It’s pretty cool to see that.Overall Oxford seems a pretty small and tightly knit town which is absolutely full to the brim with students. I have never seen so many bicycles in my life! All the campuses and colleges, etc are so close together in a small space that students simply ride their bikes to wherever they need to go. All those bicycles reminding me of China in a way.

I’ve put up the best pictures I could find at [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kerneljack). The best thing about Flickr is that you can simply search for all pictures tagged with “oxford” and you will see a LOT more than we got to get; there are just so many people taking pictures and uploading them to Flickr that you can find pictures from almost anywhere.
