How Long Does Tropical Fish Live?

vs. Oxford. London - Part 1: Oxford

Hello,
I'm sorry that I have not updated for so long, but I was a little busy sometimes (3 other essays on the relationship between sex and murder, why sit in New Zealand so many people in prison and whether Britain needs a constitution).
I also was with Hannah in Oxford - my favorite city in England - and in London. And finally, I'm also a bit frustrated here about the one-sidedness of these communications. I have no idea who all reads and who is actually from the blog know, but from a small comment and would be nice:)
As I said, Oxford.
Why is it my favorite city?
first the city consists of 50% from the different colleges of the University of Oxford (there are 39)

second Oxford is the oldest university in the UK
therefore
see third Most colleges and the like from the Middle Ages and the Tudor period and the rest of the city is not exactly young;)









4th The university is one of the leading academic institutions worldwide
5th They have a beautiful Library (unfortunately I was not there, but for those who have seen the Harry Potter movies: It's the Hogwarts library), which is again one of the largest in the UK.

6th this is true (almost) everything on and Cambridge, but Cambridge is a few years younger and dad is there sometimes fallen into the water) There is in places like Oxford: Bodleian Library, Balliol, Brasenose and Oriel College, Carfax Tower and Radcliffe Camera. The names sound like music to my ears. Also called the Thames, where it flows through Oxford, Thames not, but Isis. And the clock 5 minutes walk ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, because Oxford is so special;)

Christchurch College and associated lands (especially important: Rugby field !)















A different side of Oxford ...














The British Rail used Windows with success ...
















After I was now also in London, I must admit that it is quite difficult to decide which city is better. From today I will again be there for a week (with my parents and the cutter) but I think I must continue to be the most beautiful city of Oxford in England and see London as yourself
soon - hopefully with new pictures from London
