Title: I'm going to Oxford later on this month...anything worth checking out?
Post by: CRAFTY on April 03, 2006, 12:54:42 AM: I'm going to Oxford on April 24th until April 28th with my class. Most of the time we'll have to attend lessons at the Lake School (supposedly a school with a good reputation) or we'll have guided tours in Oxford. However, on Wednesday afternoon & Friday morning we're free, so I was wondering if there's anything worth checking out in Oxford? Also, every evening we can do anything we want. So feel free to give some tips: good music stores, clothing stores, clubs, pubs, etc...?

I've already searched the Net and there's a Virgin Megastore in Oxford so I'll contribute to England's economy during that moment ;)

Apparently, Martian Records hasn't got a department in Oxford:

Post by: Don Seer on April 03, 2006, 11:10:56 AM: HMV might be worth a look..

Post by: CRAFTY on April 05, 2006, 08:58:29 AM: That's good to know. Thanks for the tips!
What kind of music do they play in those clubs? (then again, if the women look good, I could give a flying fuck about the music, lol). And are those clubs open during the week, or just in the weekend? I'm only going from Monday 'till Friday...

Thx for the help!
