Easter in Vienna!

A couple of notes ago, I posted about being able to spend Easter weekend in Vienna thanks to a UEA Travel Award. The weather was brilliant, the museums were great and I had an amazing time :) I checked out some Easter markets, the catacombs of Stephansdom, ate schnitzel, sausages, truffeltorte and coffee, visited the Kunsthistoriches and Sissi Museum, saw the Lippizaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School, strolled about the Museumsquartier, visited Schonbrunn palace and Imperial Apartments, met interesting people and learned abit about Austria's history.










It was great! I want to go back! Next time, I'll definitely go to the world's oldest zoo and the Secession!

"The Travel and Expeditions Committee grants a number of annual Travel Awards, normally for £150, but in exceptional cases for £250, to assist individual students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, to undertake worthwhile and original journeys which will lead to their personal or professional development. In recent years, students have developed their language and scuba diving skills in Kenya and Egypt, undertaken voluntary placements with schools in South Africa and Swaziland, studied monkeys in Ecuador, and attended a music festival in Prague. Closer to home, students visited the Eden Project and Ireland."

These are annual awards offered by UEA and if you have a proposal, go for it! The deadline for applications is Monday 16th May 2011. Check it out at https://intranet.uea.ac.uk/services/students/TEC/TEC_applications

In the meantime, there's lots to see and do at the Norfolk and Norwich Festival and the weather is still BOOTIFUL :) If you're revising, I hope you do it with lots of sunshine by the lake.

Cheers,
UEA Malaysian Ambassador
