When we get on land, it's pretty cold. The icy wind often brushes my bare cheek and neck,of course.Although it's snowing, thin bright sunshine seems to try getting through the block of snow.The sky grows a little clearer as the sun is rising upper its dark blue background.It's about 6 as we reach inside the airport.

The airport looks great itself, sparkling and clean as I learnt before. A number of staff in their neat uniform wearing a friendly smiles make the port much brighter.

Mars,Jason,Sandra,Yuri and I ,we all five seem fools in the middle of this enormous hall until three men holding a board saying ''Oxford Exchange Students'' show up soon.

These three men suits very well. We stand in front of them. Then after checking our names and some details, they lead us to a big car right in front of the exit.

We all get into it, boys after girls.

''These three seem unfriendly as we wish, do they?''Yuri murmurs into my left ear.I whisper ,''Thank god.''The big car looks like a limo although we know it's not.

Yuri and I sit with two man on the back row while Sandra and Jason(a couple), Mars and another man are sitting at front row.

A man with a red face says ''We'll be directly going to Oxford.There you'll be decided where to live, in the school campus or out of it.'',finishing his explanation with a deep breath.

Curious Yuri simutaneously questions.

''Are you staff or professors? Anyway, you may probably know where exchange students usually get a place to live.''

Beaming together with the rest of two at her,''Do we have a gesture to make you think that we're professors.It sounds a bit shit.Sorry,'' said the man ,trying to stop the laugh.

Another looking like being in a good mood,answers Yuri's curious question, ''To be honest,we 're just like a special bridge to get exchange students like you from London to Oxford.That's what we do.Ouside staff or something like that.''

''So where are we gonna stay?'' I state impatiently as my habit.

The one sitting next to us starts to solve the problem,''Let me answer.Former exchange ones usually had to live inside the campus,so you too may have to live some of the dormitories left,I guess.''

''Just a prediction,right?'',Jason interrupts in a mocking accent.

''Shut up,honey,''distracts Jason playfully.Honestly, I've never seen her in that mood.

We all burst into laughter.It's very relieving for us.Then it gets back to the atmosphere of embarrassment again.

The silence place between us.All take away their glance from common sight.

The London wind rush into our mini-limo or something. High and mighty buildings let me feel more lonely and homesick.

''How does it take to get there?'' boy of mystery,namely Mars I think, disturbs floating feelings of my mind.

''If the traffic is not bad anymore,it would take less than one hour,''cheeky man says.

Very soon moment after, we finally reach the destination,our future mother Oxford campus.With a large compound and familiar atmosphere,the Headmaster welcomes us and make some really friendly speech to us all.

He tells us that we can stay in this campus and there are some dormities we can fit in.Then he shows us every single classroom tidily arranged and also make a conservation with every single one of us as we specialize in different fields.
