How could you possibly satisfy your hunger? In Europe, the choice is yours. You can rather opt for a Spanish bocadillo, a French Jambon-beurre, a British fish and chips or a German currywurst.
Europe filled with all countries’ camouflage in use. Camouflage consists in disguising military personnel, equipment, and installations by covering them to make them blend in with their surroundings.
Umberto Eco said that the language of Europe is translation. He may not totally be right if we look at this map about dubbing practices in Europe. Some European countries prefer subtitles, others simply do voice-over…
