Press Release Eating Europe Tours • Over 2,000 5 reviews on TripAdvisor • #1 rated Food Tours across Europe • Recommended by Lonely Planet, Fodor’s and Rick Steves • 35,000 happy clients from around the globe • Featured in the New York Times, Fodors, Rick Steves and the Sydney Morning Herald TASTE THE BEST OF EUROPE We believe the best way to experience a city is through its food. There is nothing better than discovering that tiny restaurant on a side street packed with locals and trying something delicious that you can’t find back home. But of course, as a visitor, it can be hard to tell the local treasures apart from the tourist traps. We created Eating Europe Tours to take you away from the crowds and into the authentic neighborhoods to indulge in the best culinary finds that locals cherish in four of Europe’s most fascinating cities: Rome, London, Amsterdam and Prague. “More than just a food tour,” the aim is to provide you with a taste of daily life – through introducing you to our vendors, revealing the unique cultures of our favorite neighborhoods, and sharing our cities’ amazing histories. We want you to leave our food tours feeling smart, cultured, informed… and full! Take a break from being a tourist. Allow us to be your local host, and become a local yourself with Eating Europe! THE RISE AND RISE OF CULINARY TOURISM While Italy may be famed for its food, the UK, Netherlands and Czech Republic have never enjoyed a great culinary reputation. That is, until now. The food scenes in the capital cities of these fascinating countries have absolutely taken off in the past decade. Meanwhile, food tours have seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years – especially in the US. It’s no surprise, then, that the trend for culinary tours has now made its way across the Atlantic – not just to foodie capitals like Rome and Paris, but also to relative newcomers to the gastronomic scene like London, Amsterdam and Prague. Our food tours are here to showcase the best food that Europe has to offer. All the while, you’ll be having fun and learning about the foodie traditions and history that locals know about but most tourists never get the chance to experience. OUR COMPANY Eating Europe Tours was started back in 2011 by American native, Kenny Dunn, who moved to Rome in 2008. Kenny loved showing off his neighborhood to visiting friends, and introducing them to his favorite restaurants and shops. These informal culinary strolls later became the Taste of Testaccio Food Tour with a focus on promoting real food, real people and real neighborhoods. It was so successful that in 2013, the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour and the Daylight Trastevere Tour were launched, and together became Eating Italy Food Tours. In 2013, Eating Europe launched their first London Food Tour in the city’s hip East End. In 2014, the company raised the bar again with expansion into two new cooking classes in Rome, “Pizza School for Kids” and “Cook Dinner with Nonna” (a real Italian grandmother!). Plus, we expanded into two new European capitals in the same year, with Eating Amsterdam Tours and Eating Prague Tours. In spring 2015, we launched two new evening tours in London and Amsterdam: the Twilight Soho Food Tour and the Twilight De Pijp Food Tour - bookings now open! ABOUT US Since the company’s inception, over 35,000 customers from around the world have experienced a food tour with us. Our mission is to leave travelers with an unparalleled, non-touristy, food-related experience in undiscovered neighborhoods of the most fascinating cities in the world. To deliver this, we embrace three guiding principles: Customers: Experience a unique opportunity to have a taste of local life by connecting with the city's personality, cuisine and culture in an unforgettable way Merchants: Engrain ourselves into the local fabric by creating a distinctive bond with our local restaurateurs and business owners Employees: Passionate people who love food, are proud city ambassadors and are committed to playing an integral role in growing our business Daylight Trastevere Food Tour With its narrow cobblestone streets and laneways, Trastevere is the quintessential Roman neighborhood. The people of this community are so proud of their eclectic origins they will tell you they are Trasteverini instead of Roman! While at night it is a happening destination for tourists and locals, during the day, Trastevere is like a small village with its timeless, multi-generational shops serving the same local families for decades. On our 4-hour guided walking food tour, we eat our way through the neighborhood enjoying 10 delicious food tastings – testament to why Rome is touted as one of the food capitals of the world. Visit the local colorful outdoor food market and meet the wonderful families working hard to preserve the food traditions that transcend generations. You enter a tourist and leave a local – a feeling you won’t soon forget. AT A GLANCE • Sample the fresh ingredients at one of Rome's most historic outdoor food markets • Go behind the scenes at a pizza bakery to see how it’s all made • Meet the Polica family who have been selling meats and cheeses at Antica Caciara, their famous delicatessen since 1900 • Find out quickly why Romans love their suppli' (mouthwatering fried risotto ball) • Go to a local osteria to enjoy homemade ravioli and 2 other daily pasta specials with wine and fresh bread • Meet Signora Vera, the neighborhood resident pastry chef for 40 years, and taste what she created that day • Be educated on real-deal gelato at Fatamorgana, the gelateria that introduced Romans to gourmet gelato • Enjoy an award-winning homemade dessert at Spirito di Vino, ranked 35th out of 5,300 restaurants in Rome on TripAdvisor • Savor Italy's famous moscato (dessert wine) in a wine cellar older than the Colosseum The Daylight Trastevere Tour runs daily (rain, hail or shine) at 10.45 am, 11.30 am and 12.15 pm except Sundays, Italian national holidays and all of August. Bookings are best made 4 weeks in advance. Taste of Testaccio Food Tour Testaccio is the original foodie neighborhood of Rome, and where cucina romana (Roman cuisine) was born. In fact, it is no coincidence that it’s known to Romans as the “heart of Rome.” On this 4- hour food tour we provide guests with a unique opportunity to experience Rome like a local, away from tourist crowds. Take a break from being a tourist. Leave the souvenir shops behind for a few hours and experience one of our most revered neighborhoods that is all about the food.

Bookings are best made 4 weeks in advance. Twilight Trastevere Food Tour Trastevere is a neighborhood like no other. Its narrow cobblestone streets come alive at night, earning it comparisons to New York’s Greenwich Village and Paris’s Lef Bank. It’s where Romans choose to eat with their families on a Sunday and where young Romans go for weekend nightlife. In essence, many say, it’s the old Rome. On our 4-hour walking tour we explore this ancient neighborhood, indulging in over 10 food and wine tastings at some of Rome’s most historic and locally loved places. Our guests are given the unique opportunity to meet the families who have been serving up these foodie treasures for generations. We guarantee you will find yourself melting into the fabric of one of our favorite neighborhoods in Rome. AT A GLANCE • If you were shooting a movie in Rome, the iconic trattoria Da Enzo al 29 would be your location of choice; and their award-winning food isn’t half-bad either • Taste wine in Spirito di Vino’s wine cellar that is 150 years older than the Colosseum – not your run-of-the-mill experience! • Fulfill your childhood dream with a visit to Rome’s famous family-owned cookie factory • Go behind the scenes at one of Rome’s most well-known bakeries to taste their award-winning pizza and see how it’s baked • Visit the Polica family, who have been selling the finest meats and cheeses at Antica Caciara, their legendary delicatessen since 1900 • Sample homemade ravioli among other sumptuous pasta dishes along with wine at Osteria der Belli • Taste gelato at Fatamorgana, the gelateria that brought “gourmet gelato” to Rome • Explore hidden historical and cultural sights and surprises that make this so much more than “just a food tour" The Twilight Trastevere Tour runs daily (rain, hail or shine) at 4.15 pm, 5 pm, 5.45 pm and 6.30 pm except Sundays, Italian national holidays and all of August.

  • Foreign Chrematonyms in a Globalised Society. a Case Study
    111 Iulian Boldea (Coord.) Globalization and National Identity. Studies on the Strategies of Intercultural Dialogue LANGUAGE AND DISCOURSE SECTION FOREIGN CHREMATONYMS IN A GLOBALISED SOCIETY. A CASE STUDY Anamaria Radu and Alexandra Cotoc PhD, ”Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract. In the present paper we observe the pragmatic dimensions of the message transmitted through names related to entertainment (restaurants, pubs, music bands etc.) or things in the field of culture and leisure activities. These names represent a new onymic category and they are labeled as chrematonyms. In the era of globalisation, some of them are used in a culture, but originate and/or relate to another. Moreover, they can influence people to react in a particular way, hence they have a pragmatic value. The paper presents the link between chrematonyms and multiculturalism, highlighting the concepts of globalisation and glocalisation. It also pinpoints the difference between chrematonyms and brands. We provide a possible classification for chrematonyms and we carry out a comparative analysis of foreign (mainly English) chrematonyms in Romania, emphasizing the fact that they represent signs of globalisation. We also analyse why foreign chrematonyms have gained an intensive and pervasive meaning in a globalised society. Keywords: chrematonyms, globalisation, glocalisation, culture, pragmatic dimensions 0. Introduction This study provides an overview of the onymic category of chrematonyms and puts forward a practical structural classification for them. We focus on foreign chrematonyms which use English or combinations of English and another language because English functions as a lingua franca at a macro-level, being used and spoken worldwide, and also on other foreign chrematonyms encountered in Romania.

It is my last report as my time as the treasurer of the English Reformed Church comes to an end. My wife Astrid started to work at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Glasgow, and we will finally move to Scotland soon. God works in mysterious ways: Scotland was never on our radar screen as our next destination in life (more the idea of north of Italy or south of France, where the sun shines), but the more it was HIS appropriate guidance that we became members of a Church of Scotland congregation in 2002, when we arrived in The Netherlands. A good friend (Ruth Shakespeare, former medical director Mulanje Mission Hospital) once said to me that what she is doing in Malawi is “serious fun – with equal emphasis on both words”. In the same way, the seven years serving as your treasurer were “serious fun”.

  • Reply from the Netherlands to the Questionnaire for the Evaluation
    Strasbourg, 25 October 2017 GRETA(2017)32 Reply from the Netherlands to the Questionnaire for the evaluation of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings by the Parties Second evaluation round (Reply submitted on 19 September 2017) 2 GRETA(2017)32 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Answers of The Netherlands to the Questionnaire for the evaluation of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings by the parties Second evaluation round In the answers below, reference is made several times to the information provided by the Netherlands in February 2017 on the measures taken to implement the proposals of GRETA from the first evaluation round [CP(2017)8]. This information is referred to as the “interim report”. Sometimes there seems to be confusion whether “identification” refers to the detection of possible signs or possible victims of THB or to the formal recognition of a person as a victim of THB. In the answers to this questionnaire, the word “detection” has therefore been used to refer to coming across possible signs or victims of THB and the word “identification” has been used to refer to (formal) recognition of someone as a victim of THB. A. Follow-up questions 1. Please provide information on developments since GRETA’s first evaluation report on your country in the following areas: 1 a) the main forms of trafficking in human beings (THB) and emerging trends observed in your country (for example, any new types or sectors of exploitation, recruitment methods, countries of origin or destination of the victims); Answer: When it comes to victims: • The main forms of THB are still THB for sexual exploitation and, to a lesser extent, labour exploitation.
