Oxford Day Trip

It's my first trip out of Nottingham, we're going to visit CJ at Oxford.The train ride is 3 hours and costs £15 one way. Honestly, the train station functions so well, just like how an airport does things. The price would be more expensive if we don't have the student railcard.

Early morning in Nottingham train station:

I wonder if it's the train in UK is good, or just I'm too used to KTM. There are earphone jacks for radio and power plugs for laptop and charging purposes at every seat. Moreover, the place is actually kinda comfortable, no problem sleeping through the whole journey. Oh ya, seating is actually appointed on the ticket, but seems like it's OK to change if nobody occupied the other seats.

In the train:

We're just walking around town area as we arrived, the architecture is a little more ancient than Nottingham, but the shops are generally the same. I think Oxford town is bigger than Nottingham, though I haven't really cover the whole Nottingham town yet. Maybe it's a weekend, the place is super crowded =.=

Walking in Oxford town:

We visited the town, market and prison. One of the famous place that we went is Christ Church, heard that this is where they film the dining chamber for Harry Potter. The entrance fee is £5.50 for student, wasn't very delighted with that but the queue was crazy, so might as well just go in and have a look.

Christ Church entrance:

I'm not really a fan Harry Potter, but I don't remember the dining chamber being this small. We visited the sanctuary as well, it's really like what we saw in National Treasure, there might be bodies buried under the floor. What really captures my attention is the large church organ.

Dining chamber and church sanctuary:

"Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them."
-Psalms 62:10-

Thank You Lord for this amazing day trip, I'm sure everyone is blessed. As I'm still trying to settle down in this new environment, I pray that we will still be given time to rest and continue to strive to get our job done, Amen.
