Visiting Oxford

Visiting Oxford
Report about the 19/03/2006 experience

In this report we’re going to talk about our visit to Oxford.
We visited lots of places including:
· “Bodliean Library”, which is the biggest library in Oxford, where all students can go in order to study and research;
· “Trinity College”;
· “Museum of the History of Science”;
· “Carfax Tower”, which is situated in the centre of the city.
Our teacher Julia showed us the statue of “Alice in Wonderland”, which is of very big importance, because the writer of the novel studied here in Oxford.
Our goal was to visit cafes, because our project is based on coffee. We also visited many coffee shops:
· “Coffee Bar Brother”;
· “Starbucks”, which is a chain of coffee shops;
· “Whittard”, which specialises in tea and coffee;
· “Living food Nutrition”, this shop gives opportunity to drink coffee without caffeine, it represents on alternative to people who don’t drink traditional coffee. There also was an Indian restaurant with a particular name: “Cafè Zouk”.
To continue we had a walk across the principal roads, having a look at the shop windows.
Also, we noticed that here in England the bookshops are called cafe too. The thing that struck our attention the most was the shape of buildings, that are really different from Italian ones. As a matter of fact, they gave us the sensation of walking around a medieval old city.

Where is Living Food Nutrition? - it sounds really interesting.
You could also visit a lebanese or Turkish restaurant and have some turkish coffee. Have you tried it in Italy?
