Here is Chenxin in my room a few weeks ago.



There is a much more active protest scene in Oxford than in Princeton;
these are animal rights activists protesting the building of a new lab.

Here is a view through my window.

And another, with the window open.
The steeple is from Lincoln's library, which is a beautiful deconsecrated chapel.

I live in the Mitre, which is a medieval maze of a building across Turl Street from Lincoln's three main quads. The part of the Mitre I'm in is known as Lower Bedlam. When I asked why, this sign mysteriously appeared near the entrance a few hours later.

Heard a bass voice from behind this door.


A rather difficult to see view of the Lincoln library at night.

Oxford is a lovely city for walking; here is a view across Christ Church Meadows.

And here I am in a quad of Magdalen, the college of Bertie Wooster.
