I rather like the feel of Cambridge; IT was sort of a high class bohemia, without the crusties. Instead of crusites, you have students trying to sell punting rides.
Of particular note was the joy of watching the tourists trying to master the punts, and the ensuing crashes; Also it was good to watch the more skilled punt masters navigating the endlessly rotating tourists with skill and ease.
That one dude was so useless, he just didnt have a clue. no comprende!
I’m glad you liked it, but it’s too bad you didn’t plan to come a few months earlier! I’m a walking Cambridgepedia and make a terrific guide.
Yes, that’s a shame.. If only I had known! There are so many places to visit and so many people to see!!
I love Cambridge! ![]()
I am actually now going to apply to university, and 90% sure one of the choices in my UCAS will be “Christ’s, University of Cambridge”. I’ve been twice to the city and I love it so much.
My parents are rather anti-Britain (basically because I am pro-Britain and will move there leaving them behind in Spain), kind of despised London (liked it, but saying there were better cities and that it was so stressful) but when they arrived to Cambridge, they were like “OMG, this is amazing!”. They even joked about moving there if I am accepted by Cambridge. Of course they won’t, but at least now they go around saying how much they loved Cambridge. When I remind them that, incidentally, it is in England, they say “uhm, yes, but it’s not the same as London”.
But this is a general confusion, I guess.
I’m going next week to Bristol, then Newcastle and Durham, then Scotland (Edinburgh and St Andrews), but according to most of my family and my friends, “I’m going to London”. I only land in London for half an hour, in LCY, to do a flight connection. But that doesn’t really sink in their minds. For them, Britain is England and England is London. :rage: /rant off
Back to the point, I’m glad you liked Cambridge. It’s lovely.
Ì loved Cambridge, Morti can tell…it is my fav city in UK
@Sergio, I know exactly what you’re saying! Despite living in a small village quite outside London for three years, my family kept saying to everybody that I was IN London. Now I live almost 40 miles further away, but they still insist that I DO live in London xD
Good luck with getting into that College!
Well…I’ve never been there..
I went to Oxford a couple of years ago but It was Easter and there wasn’t a soul there..pretty boring.
We are already planning a lot of UK short trips for next year I shall include Cambridge due the good comments!
