| Description: |
A memoir that features the author's life and experiences during his two years at Merton College, Oxford, in the mid-1980s, where he studied the history of transport on the River Thames. It presents an account of English university life, customs and mores as seen from the perspective of a young Japanese student. |
| Synopsis: |
This sensitive, engaging and informative account of English university life, customs and mores - as seen from the perspective of a young Japanese student, albeit Japan's heir to the throne - contributes to cross-cultural studies in the broader context. It is also a rare record of a life lived by one who normally experiences `life above the clouds' as a member of the Japanese imperial family. |
