Oxford to Florence
High Table at Christ Church Last week was quite a busy week. I was working on my final project for the courses I’m taking this year and playing host to Donny, who was visiting Oxford and Cambridge to meet their quantum information people. Donny got to dine on high table at Christ Church (picture at left), which must be one of the coolest places to dine in Oxford. We went to see a wonderful outdoor production of Much Ado About Nothing in Oxford on Friday, and then saw Georges Bizet’s Carmen on Saturday in London with Patrick. That was my first time to the opera, and the experience itself was quite nice. I’m not so convinced on the story, though. The plot seems to consist of two guys in love with the same girl, but the entire extent of one man’s love is that he kisses her hand and then two months later he’s willing to fight to the death for her. But the singing was nice.
Frank and I And now I’m off to Florence, Italy, to spend a few days with Frank, a good friend from high school. He’s spending a month in Florence to practice his Italian, and I decided to invite myself down there.

Weird… why are the photos so blurry on the entry, but so crisp when I look at the originals? :/ I thought they were progressive jpegs for a moment but then they never improved!

Thanks for noticing. It’s because the thumbnails here are actually being scaled larger than their image size. I will fix that on future posts.
