Oxford, UK


I would highly recommend going to Oxford. It is really pretty and a very quaint city. All of the buildings are really old and charming.

Statues of scientists/philosophers from outside the History of Science Museum:


The most beautiful sight was Christ's Church. The entire grounds that the church is on is really worth seeing:


This is the actual church:


And, if the outside isn't enticing enough, inside was used for the setting of the Grand Hall in Hogwarts for the Harry Potter movies!!!!


Note: unfortunately I didn't actually go in/take this picture :(

Oxford Castle:


I went to a cute pub for lunch, called the Turf Tavern which was clearly the hotspot for Oxford University professors. I sat next to a table of four, and I mentioned I was studying in London and they asked me what I was reading, to which I replied, "..Um, nothing at the moment..." and was faced with dumbfounded stares. I later found out that that meant what subject was I studying, oops. 

I also went into the Orpheum Museum which was pretty good, presumably because it is funded by Oxford University.
