UK/USA 2010 Day 2

280210 2139 local time (GMT)
London, England

It would seem that carsickness is the bane of my plan to update asap. Today has been rather busy I guess.

Typically we woke up late in the morning, leaving our plans for the day in a mess. Still, we left the house eventually and headed off for Oxford.

By the time we reached Oxford it was 1100. We then tried to find parking. This was eventually done by 1145. Says something about Oxford.

We met up with my mother's friend, the same guy from yesterday, then I set off to find Yuhyiing. I eventually met her outside Waterstone's.

After a good lunch at O'Neil's, Yuhyiing proceeded to show me around town and the university. We stopped by a music shop to take a look, but bought little. We also met up with her friend, another Singaporean student. At his room I demonstrated my lack of ability to play the violin, then we talked politics.

Soon it was time for me to leave. I bid Yuhyiing farewell and met my mum and her friend, who took us around Christchurch College. I also witnessed a woman appearing to have a heart attack. It was scary, especially as paramedics were rushing there as we left.

That aside, we finished our tour and left the city to meet another relative. My aunt lived in this little village, incidentally next to a nuclear reactor. Her house and food were both nice. We then left for a walk to take in scenery, then my mum and I headed home for a good steamboat.

All in all today was better than yesterday. The weather was warmer and more inviting. Also it was really good to see Yuhyiing, as I haven't had the chance to meet her in a long while. Hopefully tomorrow will be as good as this.
