Ch 17: The Official Cambridge Tour

After our day of speaking to current students and professors we headed out in the afternoon for a Judge sponsored tour of Cambridge. Cambridge does not have a main "campus". There are 31 distinct colleges each with 200-1000 students. The University buildings are dispersed throughout the town of Cambridge in a cluster close to the colleges. It's quite unique.
Our tour guide was a nice British lady who knew here way around the place. Some fun facts about students at Cambridge:
1. They use to climb the chapels (which are huge) for fun (used to as this is now outlawed)
2. They like practical jokes (there are too many to write up)
3. They have a good sense of humor (although it's British humor which can come across as dry for most Americans)
At the end of the tour a few of us stopped off at the Eagle a pub famous for being a stomping ground for US and British service men during the 2nd world war. More great room temperature British Beer and my first Guiness from the UK. Good stuff. Had a chat with the lot, Yeo Whee Jim, Adrian Cander, Neil Ghosh, Svetlana Novoseltseva, and Hideko Sugimoto (see pretty diverse right?). They are all good people and I will email them to link everyone together electronically. You never know where everyone will end up but good people you keep in touch with.
