Summary

A war between France and the Netherlands over fish (trawling), a beginner’s guide to waltzing in Vienna (balling), and a tragic ski accident (falling). The Europeans comes to you from Amsterdam and Paris as always, but Katy and Dominic have both been in Austria this week and are taking a little inspiration from their (mis)adventures to delve into the traditions of the Viennese ball season. We’ve got devoted local fan Matthias Brandstetter on the line to run us through the do’s and dont’s of taking your first spin on the Viennese dance floor. But first, to the sea! We speak to Pavel Klinckhamers from Greenpeace Netherlands about the controversial fishing technique that may have landed the hake on your plate and has French fishermen furious with their Dutch competitors. Enjoying the show? We’d love it if you could leave us a review to help more listeners find us around Europe and beyond: ‪https://t.co/M6OuFyn7kk | ‬Twitter: @EuropeansPod | Insta: @

lesson. You can just practice because you know what the technique is. You just need to get the hang

of it and for it to become second nature. So I did that and then on the second day, went down the

blue slope and was going really well. I was like carving and Thomas and Hans,

0:54.3

my husband and father-in-law behind me were shouting,

And then I was like, oh no, I'm going really fast.

1:02.1

I don't know how to stop.

1:03.6

And yeah, I stopped by crashing into some thick snow

but twisted my arm and broke my shonek.

1:10.0

Were you still shouting, this is it?

1:11.6

As you crashed into the tree.

1:13.6

No, I think they were shouting, this is it.

1:15.6

And I was like, ah!

1:17.6

But how are your injuries now?

1:19.6

Yeah, I mean, it's not so bad.

1:21.6

The doctor in Austria told me that it was not so dramatic.

1:26.6
