Norwich day 3

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Today, we met up with Will and took him to Bar Tapas that I’ve never been to but always curious about it.  In fact, in the three years I’ve lived here, there are few things I haven’t done.  One of them is to go to the Norfolk Broads!  I don’t think we’ll get to do that this week though.  I just have to make another trip some time soon.

Coincidentally, Phil, our former sound technician from uni, passed by!  Steff had to catch the train and Will went to get a haircut, so it was just the three of us catching up at Frank’s Bar.  Again.  Afterwards, Hannah and I browsed shops and went to this new cafe called the Bicycle Shop.  I believe it was one before.  Apparently the guy who owns it is Rob who used to be behind our SU bar and at the Playhouse too.  I must say he has done very well.  I wonder how hard it is to run a cafe…

Norwich day 2

Steff joined us today!  So the four of us went to see Up.  It was such a heartwarming story.  Wish I could have watched it in 3D but it was a good film nonetheless.  All the characters are lovable and Dug, the talking dog reminds me of Niall’s dog, Tiehawk.  It makes me want to try out 3D animation again and maybe not to give up so easily.  We met up with Kelly after work at Frank’s Bar.  I haven’t seen her for a year so it was nice to catch up.

Norwich day 1

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I’m visiting my friend, Hannah and her boyfriend, Dave at Norwich.  It’s quite different to when I was living up here.  All the scaffoldings are gone, the pedestrian road finished and new cafes and shops appear.  I heard that Adam of Adam and Joe lives in Norwich now and does some kind of show at the Playhouse?  Is it true??  Good times happened at the Playhouse…  I have the feeling this trip is going to be a nostalgic one.

The Playhouse bar – they make good hot chocolates.

They used to have crazy decorations inside, like plastic animals hanging off the ceiling and suspending train tracks where the train would go around and around above you.  They seem to have toned it down a bit.

Snoooooow!  Fake snow that is.
