Oxford Program

This summer I was lucky enough to be in Oxbridge Academics Program. I was in Oxford Tradition and I had a lot of fun.
England compared to Canada is a lot different. Canada used to be an English colony and everything but it is still England that has a lot more culture and wonderful arts to see.
I was in Oxford for a month and saw the Elgin Marbles which made me very happy.



Too bad you can't touch it. But with something this old it's normal to be afraid that if you touch it it might be a breaking spot and cause the whole thing to collapse.

The work is very intricate, I like the strong pop-ups on the wall decorations, the muscle tones are done especially well. I can't even draw muscles and sculpting it would be even more difficult.
Too bad so many of them are destroyed though. I would definitely want to see the entire thing of those sculptures.Sometimes only the head of a horse doesn't tell how well the sculptor is about the entire body of the horse, but I could tell by the head that he/she had a pretty good idea of it.

My only regret of England was but I did not get to see the Stone Henge. I would love to blast music to see how good the system is as echoing and hypnotizing people.

Paris was even magnificent in buildings like the Bastille and the Louvre. The Louvre was massive and the transparent pyramids were brilliant. Too bad the reversed pyramid on the bottom is inside the shopping place, people would have paid a lot more attention to it if that is the case.



Paris was beautiful. I cant possibly describe it. You'd have to be me to experience it. Nights in Paris are the most fabulous sceneries ever :D
