Richold bakker’s
(1992) DjaDjan
restaurant selected
In the artists’ village of bergen in the northern
netherlands, restaurant DjaDjan has been selected
to become a member of the premier league of
indonesian restaurants, the sir (‘selected indonesian
restaurants’).
in bergen, richold was already owner of a popular
bar-restaurant. the premises where DjaDjan is now,
became vacant. “i wanted something different, not
another bistro”, richold told us.
richold, nor his cook is of indonesian origin. but
the cook (a Greek called Jani Gritzalis), has learned
to cook from a famous indonesian cook: Lonny
Gerungan.
Worth a visit!

From Amsterdam to
Guangzhou
my name is Clemens berendsen. For the last six years i have been
a member of the board of Directors at hotelschool the hague.
these are exciting times for hotelschool the hague. After many
years it looks like we finally found a new place for our Amsterdam
campus. recently, i signed the lease contract for the new building,
altogether about 13,000 m2 for both school and skotel. if all
goes well, we will move in the summer of 2012 from the prinses
irenestraat (school) and De Klencke (skotel), to the new premises,
by then fully renovated, where both school and skotel will be
accommodated together.
it is going to be a huge challenge to be ready in time, but we are
surely looking forward to opening the new school in Amsterdam.
in may, invited by Florida international university and the
south China university of technology, i visited a conference in
Guangzhou. it was really worthwhile to meet other international
hotel schools and international and Chinese hotel chains and
discuss what the regional developments are and what the hotels
expect from the hotel management courses.
During the trip to Guangzhou i also visited some trainees in beijing.
two of them work at the Westin Chaoyang, one at the hilton Airport.
it was very interesting to hear about their challenges working and
living in a city like beijing.
Finally, an annual research by the hbo raad among hbo
graduates shows that our school scores far better on almost all
subjects evaluated by alumni , than all colleague hotel schools in
the netherlands. And this is extremely good
news for everyone who is well disposed
towards hotelschool the hague.
