A take away meal provides proof of how different peoples from India and England come together in harmony in Luton. Unusually these two dishes are provided by one food outlet in Luton, UK.
Normally you have to visit both an Indian take away and a fish and chip shop to get both of these dishes.
We now have traditional tandoori dishes and traditional British fish and chips served by one outlet. Find out more by looking up the Dallow Fish Bar in Luton, where East meets West.

One thing I love about the lab. Diversity. How else could I hang out with a German Italian guy, a woman from Columbia and a guy from Ghana all at once? I've always loved multicultural experiences. I would feel empty and unfulfilled without them. I crave stories of other cultures - language, food, landscapes, and habits different from my own. It allows me to travel the world and experience other ways of life while standing completely still.

LONG LIVE DIVERSITY!
TEN YEARS OF ADMONT ABBEY MUSEUM
Special Exhibition 2013 - Curator: Michael Braunsteiner
Housed in the Benedictine monastery of Admont Abbey founded in 1074, Austria’s most eclectic private museum can now look back on ten successful years. Ever since it first opened its doors in 2003, Admont’s Museum has been able to boast an astonishing diversity of exhibits.
On its 3600 m2 of exhibition floor space it brings together under one roof art dating from the Middle Ages to today, a historical Natural History Museum and a Museum of Fine Arts, while it also hosts special exhibitions and a multimedia presentation on Admont Abbey. The Baroque Abbey Library represents the largest monastic library in the world. The result is a stimulating interplay between culture and nature, past and present, historical and contemporary art and architecture. There is a centuries-old tradition of conservation here at Admont, and it is in this spirit that the collections and Abbey Library have undergone extensive renovation.

Tutta la storia della vita sulla Terra ci insegna che la «diversità» è un valore fondamentale. La ricchezza della vita, infatti, è dovuta alla sua diversità: diversità di enzimi, di cellule, di piante, di organismi, di animali. Anche per la storia delle idee è stato così. La diversità delle culture, delle filosofie, dei modelli, delle strategie e delle invenzioni ha permesso la nascita e lo sviluppo delle varie civiltà. (Piero Angela)

I loved this little clump of plants and mosses. There’s just so much happening here in this tiny patch of the rainforest floor. I could spend weeks exploring the Daintree rainforest and surrounds. Sadly, we only had one half day! [Mossman Gorge, QLD, Australia]
This photo resembles on how different India is. The piñata of the Indian flag, symbolizes the country India. And the hand over the circle in the middle, symbolizes the different forms of culture and religion India was to point out our diversity.
We live in a society that proud itself in being diverse. Dont get me mistaken, Diversity is something magical, a melting pot of individuals coming from different realities, cultures, etc. make us remember that we are first and foremost HUMANS.
However, thanks to the media and other facts, Diversity is not lived easily. The differences quickly arise and our humanity fades away when stereotypes and other prejudices are brought up. The notion of “alien” even is one of the strongest proof that people from elsewhere must be treated differently.
In this 21st century I am afraid human race had not come too far from the essentials when it comes to immigration and regionalism.
This is for foreign people in foreign land who spend all their lives in the grips of their foreignness (or alienation).
