CAMBRIDGE

CAMBRIDGE IS A “LOVELY!” UNIVERSITY TOWN WITH ITS FAMOUS COLLEGES LIKE ST JOHN’S, TRINITY AND KING’S COLLEGE.  IT IS VERY CROWDED IN THE SUMMER AS INNUMERABLE STUDENTS INVADE THE CITY TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF SHAKESPEARE.

PUNTING ON THE RIVER CAM IS GREAT FOR SIGHTSEEING AND IS AMONG THE MOST POPULAR TOURISTS ATTRACTION. LYING IN THE PARKS WITH YOUR FRIENDS IS ALSO VERY NICE AS THE GRASS IS MOWN FREQUENTLY. TRAFFIC IS A NIGHTMARE HOWEVER I DO NOT RECOMMEND CYCLING SINCE CYCLING TRACKS ARE SCARCE.

CAMBRIDGE SEEMS TO BE THE HUB FOR STREET ENTERTAINERS AND MANIC STREET PREACHERS IN PARTICULAR, IF YOU FEEL LIKE A LITTLE CHAT OVER GOD, OFF YOU GO !

THE EAGLE PUB IS THE PLACE WHERE DNA WAS DISCOVERED OR RATHER THE PLACE WHERE THE TWO RENOWNED SCIENTISTS USED TO GO. FOR THE REST YOU CAN FIND THE TRENDIEST BARS ON ST ANDREWS STREET.

BY THE WAY CAMBRIDGE IS THE HOMETOWN OF MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE SUCH AS ROWAN ATKINSON -> MR BEAN, HUGH LAURIE -> DR HOUSE, OLIVER CROMWELL & STEPHEN HAWKING AMONG OTHERS.

BE CAREFUL THOUGH IF YOU WANT TO STAY FOR A FEW MONTHS, THE HOUSING PRICE IS SKY HIGH. SHARED ROOMS ARE COMMON AS IN EVERY EXPENSIVE CITY.
