Hello from Oxford!

Spent yesterday in Cambridge, punting the river and exploring the city. Arrived at Oxford yesterday evening and met with my host family. First impression might not have been so good - I had been sitting on chewing gum in the bus and had to sit on an Oxford turist brochure in the back seat of my host family's car. That was a first timer. The father of the family took me on  a house tour - the high point of the tour was probably when he showed me how to flush the toilet. Obviously this was an experienced host family.
