I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Cambridge




Punts on a river. It's the Cam, not the Cherwell, and that's the original Mathematical Bridge rather than the replica at the Iffley Lock in Oxford, so this must be Cambridge.

I only spent an afternoon there, so have no real standing to list the similarities and differences between the two college towns (not that that has ever stopped me.)

I had a couple of dreams this week when a bad cough was disrupting my sleep where I was wandering through the streets of Oxford, completely lost, and finally realized I didn't know where I was because I was actually in Cambridge, not Oxford. But honestly unless I was standing in front of one of the colleges or the Corpus Clock or this bridge, I probably wouldn't know the difference.
