Oxford on sundays, Never GO!

Honestly, I won´t go again to Oxford on sunday to search for some entertainment, after being there the last sunday .

Why do I say that?

I thought the city of Oxford, one of the most popular cities in England and in the worl thank´s to the famous university, was going to be amazing for students like us. There are a lot of colleges and private halls filled with students but we didn´t see any of them, only tourists were on the streets. It was drizzting, so this wasn't a reason for not see anybody or any good entertainment to do there.

One of the first things we did, was to go to the castle of Oxford to see an exhibition wich was advertised as being a "super exhibition of The Earth from the air that has giants pictures" like they said in the webpage of Oxford. Obviusly, there is always an exaggeration in advertising but this really wasn´t how we had espected it to be. The pictures were big but not "giants" but i can't say the pictures weren't interesting, just the way they were shown to the people was lacking in energy. Finally, after seeing around seven pictures you could look just in front of you the shop of the exhibition, it was like the pictures were the streetside and the end of the street was the shop.


As you can see in the picture, the castle of Oxford is next to a modern house! So another aspect that we didn't liked. Maybe the exhibition was for middle-aged people and older that would like it but I don't think many students like us would.

Walking on the streets looking for something to do, we could see a lot of pubs and night clubs closed. It was logical because it was sunday. So I could say that maybe a lot of students will join them but not on sunday in the morning or afternoon.However, I think if you go not like a day-triper like us and you sleep in Oxford you could go to this pubs, night clubs and have a good time with the other students. This night club of the picture could be a good option and you can see that it's open all the week nights.



The best thing you can do as student in Oxford on sunday could be go shopping because there are lot of stores but obviously anybody goes to Oxford to go shopping, because could do it in any city of England.

One of the first things we did COMMA was to go to the castle of Oxford to see AN EXHIBITION, WHICH WAS ADVERTISED AS BEING A "super exhibition of The Earth from the air that has giants pictures". OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS ALWAYS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EXAGGERATION IN ADVERTISING, BUT THIS REALLY wasn´t how we had espected IT TO BE . There wasn't anybody, just a few people WHO had nothing to do IN Oxford, and the pictures were big but not "giant" but i can't say the pictures weren't interesting, just the way they WERE showN to the people was LACKING IN ENERGY. FinalLy COMMA after seeing around seven pictures you could look just in front of you the shop of the exhibition, it was like the pictures were the streetside and the end of the street was the shop.

Walking on the streets looking for something to do COMMA we could see a lot of pubs and night clubs closed, FULL STOP it was logical because it was sunday. So I could say that maybe a lot of students will join them but not on sunday IN THE morning or afternoon.Then you are not going to have fun in any pubs, just going on sunday at morning or afternoon [REPITITION] but I think if you go not like a day-triper like us and you sleep in Oxford you could go to this pubs, night clubs and have a good time with the other students. This night club of the picture could be a good option and you can see that it's open all week nights.



The best thing you can do as A student in Oxford on sunday could be go shopping because there are lot of stores but obviously anybody WHO goes to Oxford to go shopping, could DO THIS IN LONDON.
