"one almost expects the people to sing instead of speak"

Having visited Oxford only a few times previously, and only for that - a visit - I can begin to describe here my first impressions of a city that is to be my new home.
"the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speak"
And you almost do. The architecture is telling that Oxford has had a happy life. If you listen hard, you can still hear horses trotting along the passageways, and distant bells sounding.

Who was it that said a great city is one that you can imagine falling in love in? There is definitely a love story here.

It's so easy to get lost in a daydream...

And it is not uncommon to step into the path of students in graduation robes, as there are ceremonies all year round. All in all, I think this city is a fantastic place to go for a stroll...and see where you end up.
