Tour of Oxford
We will arrange a walking tour of the centre of Oxford starting at 2pm on Saturday 23rd October. MEET AT CARFAX before 2pm. The tour will last up to 2 hours (we will be walking slowly with lots of stops) and will show you some of the older parts of the city and tell you some of the funny stories about how Oxford University grew into its present state.
Everyone is welcome but you must sign-up to help us know how many to expect. There is no charge for the tour and we will have tea/coffee afterwards in one of the local cafes. Please reply to say you are coming. You are welcome to bring friends if you tell us in advance. We will give more details nearer the time.
I will attend the walking tour on Sataurday, 8 October. Thanks for your arrangement!
Sorry to miss not the Olympics and I won’t be with you next week either. I hope you are all well and that your studies are interesting. See you all on 1st November!
Thank you David! The tour was really fun though weather was too cold, but I really had a great time and learned a lot about Oxford!
Thank you for the amazing Oxford tour today!!
It was cold though , I really enjoyed it and could learn a lot of interesting stories!!
The bonfire and fireworks display will be great! It will be followed by a party with good food and non-alcoholic drinks in the home of Richard and Catherine. There is only limited space in their home so we must restrict the numbers who can come to the house to the first 24 people to book. Please book by replying to this post. Any more people who want to come will be welcome to come to the fireworks only.
We will meet at Brookes (near the main barrier on Gipsy Lane) and start walking to the fireworks at 5.45pm on Saturday. If you pay at the park it will be £6 (the money goes to charity) but if you visit the shop called Shepherd and Woodward in the High Street in advance it will be only £5.
Do reply as soon as you can to make sure of your place.
Make sure you dress warmly, it is sure to be a cold evening at the fireworks but warm in the house afterwards.

Hi from Canada to everyone!
I’m sorry to not be there with all of you on Monday – I would love to be celebrating Advent traditions with you. I wish I could be in two places at once! But I’ll be back to Oxford on the first of December, and trust I will see you all again on the following Monday.
have fun,
Penny

Hello!
Hope you all had a great time on Monday night at our parrrrtyyy! Thought I’d let you know that some of the best wrapped presents from our present wrapping race are currently sitting under my Christmas tree – making it look like we’ve got lots more Christmas presents than we actually have!
I’m going to be back in Oxford at the start of January, so if anyone would like to meet up then do let me know =) Find me on facebook, or my email address is kristinrburt@gmail.com.
Hope everyone has lovely Christmases – whether back at home with your families, or here in England, or traveling!
See most of you in the new year, and goodbye to those who were leaving…we’ll miss you.

PS – Martha, Catherine and Mary-Ann (and anyone else who brought stuff, I’m not sure), your biscuits and sweets were amazing – thank you very, very much! x
Dear Japanese friends at IEC – I hope and pray your families are safe in Japan after the terrible earthquake and tsumani today. Your country is in my thoughts. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Love, Emma
Hey, it’s Marianne, long time no see~
Hope you remember me~ ! I hope that everybody is doing well as well!
I miss you all at the IEC!
I hope you have some nice new overseas students joining on Monday evenings!
Hi Marianne,
Sorry it took so long to reply. Hope you are ok. The IEC got a bit small before Easter when everyone was busy with coursework, but we are full again with more people than ever! But we miss you! Come and see us again. Do you have any plans to visit Oxford again soon?
Hey Marianne – so good to hear from you =) Sorry – I should have checked the blog more often! Yeah, we’ve had a good term at IEC – definitely remember you all though =) How are you doing? Hope you’ve had a good term too – got lots of exams coming up?
