As you can see from the pictures, it wasn't a very sunny day, but we all enjoyed ourselves. We even met up with Shin, who is now studying in Oxford, after eight months at our school in Bristol. He said it was hard to find his way around Oxford because, "All the colleges look like churches, the churches look like museums, the museums look like colleges, libraries and theatres!"
Here's another view of Christ Church, if you are very rich and/or very clever, you can live and study here.
Here's Abdulaziz, acting like he owned the place.
You may recognise this dining hall from the Harry Potter films.
On the walls are portraits of famous graduates of Christ Church, including Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking-Glass.
On the far wall you can see portraits of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
We went to the University Church and climbed the tower so we could see the magnificent views of the famous buildings of Oxford.
This is a view of the High Street.
All Souls College
We saw the Bodleian Library, and this is the Radcliffe Camera, one of the most famous parts, also used in Harry Potter.
We popped into the History of Science Museum...
And during our lunch-break, we were lucky to be entertained by this excellent piper.
This is the whole group, and behind us is the famous Bridge of Sighs. From left to right: Yu-Jin, Marta, Marina, Abdulaziz, Yulia, Ancor, Vivianne, Rayan, Pierre, Hannah and Ahmad. Shigehiro was taking the photo.
