a day in Oxford

Oxford. What comes up in your mind when you think of Oxford?
University? Harry Potter? A small little town? A shuttle bus to outlet?



I've been there twice though and this is my third time visiting Oxford. To be honest, i didn't walk around much last two times coz on halfway of my trip i went to the outlet for shopping. LOL Lucky this time i stayed focus and did some great sightseeings there.

Colleges are 'scattered' around Oxford, my impression is : Oxford University represents Oxford and Oxford is the university. You know what i mean right? The major activities to do in Oxford are walking through different colleges and probably punting as well.



Chist church is the place where the Harry Potter movie filmed, the famous dining hall where Professor Dumbledore made his announcement and those ghosty spirits flying up high in the hall. The dining hall is actually smaller than i expected but it has those very old British style traditions there. 

 then i went to few more colleges and churches as well...

oh there you go, this is me. lol


 
This is the Bridge of Sigh in Hertford's College, well i like the one in Venice more:) I know each year Oxford University and Cambridge University will have a rowing competition in River Thames and i found some interesting thing here...


I think...they would do this whenever they won in the competition and they drew this with the year, names and logos on the wall of the college.
Oh then i walked to the riverside and looked for punting. Colourful boats.
While i was standing there taking pictures, three little creepy ducks came towards me and just (scream and shout and let it all out....all eyes on us) lol NO!!



After a long walk in Oxford, i treat myself some sweets---MALTESERS MCFLURRY. THAT IS REALLY SWEET.
