An alternative to doomscrolling, EU news source, Basque language notes, and Shrimpy the Dutch canal boat
We're Moving to Europe links for Sunday, September 28
🇳🇱 Set sail with Shrimpy and Stroopwaffled: American writer Jennifer Barnett shares one of her weekend Amsterdam jaunts on her family’s boat, Shrimpy. Early-autumn Dutch canal bliss. Go for the little boat video, stay for the essays about life in the Netherlands.
🇪🇺 EU-wide news on YouTube: The European Commission’s official YT channel keeps you up to date on issues that affect the EU, like climate goals, defense, scientific and medical research initiatives, history, and more.
🇪🇸 A bit about Basque: Spanish history writer Miguel Balsa Campos shows how translating the indigenous Basque language (Euskara) of northeastern Spain and southwestern France into English reveals unique ways of looking at common concepts.
