Reached Oxford..


I have reached Oxford!

The journey from India to Oxford was comfortable - though British Airways tried its ways to make a petty cash from my extra luggage, by deciding to call of the 'two hand luggage' scheme, unannounced, in the last minute to comply with 'strict guidelines' that help them monitor terrorist activity. I dunno how reducing a luggage would help them in this process, but hey, I got along!

Reached Oxford and kinda felt at home. Its a mix of Chennai and LA. Chennai - in all the practices and customs (left hand drive); LA in the cleanliness and etiquette (greener pavenments than LA).

I am currently staying in Wellington Square. It is a cheap University accomodation that is in the center of the town. Business School is a just 3 minutes ride away.

I settled in quickly and managed to buy a bike from a local private guy who was noce enough to throw in his lock as well. A new bike costs around 120 pounds and my used bike cost me 49 pounds.

Well this week (Oct 2) is all about induction - sitting thru some boring (or would this be useful later?) lectures and tons of introductions - Computer center, Library, Career services, reception included!! :)

Well, ciao, we have got to a long to-do list to go through..
