Cambridge calling. Twice.

It was great to visit another city in England, so great that I did it even twice. Same city I mean. All I heard about Cambridge was that it reminded of our Dutch exchange city with all the bikes and so on. Indeed it did feel like being in Holland/Belgium with the cozy streets.

Cambridge is known for its numerous colleges. Colleges, which look like churches. A city crowded by the rich talented students and the poor extremely talented students. Dressed up like Harry Potter with the scarves and other clothing showing which college they belong to.

unveiled by stephen hawking in 2008. always thought he was american!

Many important things have been discovered in Cambridge, and it seems that the best place to announce them is a pub. Like you can read below.

Basically, if you visit London, it would be a good idea to visit Cambridge as well, since it's only 40min away by train!

When I find myself by the sea,

14.1.2012

in another's company, by the sea.

Just seeing the sea yesterday in Brighton I could not help thinking of those lyrics above.


The atmosphere, which the song has is the best way to describe how the atmosphere by the sea in Brighton was. Calm, relaxed..

Play the song again and check out these photos. Then you might know what I mean.

The complete opposite of London, in other words it was nice for once not to be surrounded by stressed, yelling, annoying, miserable people. In Brighton they were actually smiling.

It was a great feeling to just listen to the waves and have the sun shining on your face. The coast reminded me of The Hague in Holland. I guess Brighton is a mix of The Hague, Nice and Verona.

And the shopping street reminded me of Camden. Loads of record stores in a tiny street, from which I got some Bon Iver, Explosions In The Sky and Elliot Smith.

Lovely.
