UEA International Student Ambassadors

If you haven't already been to Norwich Castle Museum, now is a great time to go! There is a great exhibition on at the moment called the "Art of Faith" which will run till 23 January 2011. There are more than a hundred awesome artefacts to look at, including a mummified cat, textiles and a couple of torcs. The exhibition displays the history of the diversity of faiths in Norfolk, stretching back to three millenia ago. Don't forget to bring your student ID! It's worth your time signing up for a daily tour of the battlements or the dungeons and you can get discounted entry with it. There are also other galleries with permanent displays: - The Anglo Saxon and Viking Gallery - The Boudica Gallery - The Egyptian Gallery - The Natural History Gallery (I like the birds twittering away) - The Twining Teapot Gallery There's also a nice little cafe if you feel peckish after your little jaunt around the Castle Keep :) Check out the museum's website for more informati...

One of my favourite summer pastimes? Having a picnic by Norwich castle! As these picnics are often spontaneous (depending on the weather), we like to go to Loving Hut to take away some yummy vegan food! It is run by a friendly family from Guangzhou and located close to Norwich castle grounds. When people think of vegan food, they sometimes think it might be boring but Loving Hut has definitely proved me, a carnivore, wrong. For about the same price as a pint, you can tuck into a buffet of spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, vegetables with tofu, curry, vegan sushi, fruit, sweetcorn and fairycakes. And now it's offically Autumn and starting to get a little too wet and windy...but I reckon I'll still be getting my spring rolls and curry here :) For a map of how to get to Loving Hut, click here http://www.lovinghut.co.uk/norwich.html
