marcell defines himself as non binary, was neither exclusively masculine or feminine, and accept the range of pronouns on the, on the she and he, him, her, they, i don't really care how someone to dress as me as long as the person is speaking to me and i get it by, you know, that's what's most important, right? the company's name as being said for the past 3 years, marcel has been working at lofty heights as an industrial window washer. before that, he was working on stage as a drag queen. when theaters closed during the corona pandemic. marceau looked for a new job and found one on high with the best fuse in the city. if that's too bad, i'm happier. i'm not sure what happened, but i dream of spending more time on stage rather than hanging on roads, you need to be sure. even though the job really gives me a great deal of financial freedom. yeah, the last couple of years, i'm no longer dependent on sponsors and don't need to prove i really can sing and

that i am great enough to have that we should be of arch. marcel grew up in a small town in south western poland. he comes from a family of devout catholics and his father had difficulty understanding his homosexuality, the latest subdivision, simple such that my parents wanted me to have conversion therapy, tag me. that was supposed to cure me of homeless actuality in the boy. i think i was 19 yeah mm. the even number of the same people horrified me. there were no talks with me or a psychologist as them know. they just went straight to the priest as in boy prescriptions or even as a child. marcel was fascinated by all things feminine. he felt drawn to it, close colors and glitter. i wanted to have all these feminine attribute. well that's why i always felt close to them and i loved the dressing up even as

a child. i didn't know back then that it was dragged back to utah. marcell a k, a lead to p t seems about queer existence for the l. g. b t q music project broke. i told her donna, or glittering, ladies and lily to appears as a drag artist at the low come stone wall. be safe space for the queer scene in post on. the louisa has found in one of only for drag collectives in poland. it's called the house of utopia said i'd say the hierarchy is such that i'm like the mother because i've got solid support and contacts and lots of performance. and i can use those to open the scene for others. and i'm really to, is planning to appear on stage in berlin with her so called daughter iraq from the dr. collective. but before taking to the stage,

they take in the sites and meet up with another drag queen mondo to cuz that's got the as free as life appears in berlin. there is discrimination here too. as a rule, not to takes a taxi home after a long night as the m. c of the show at monsters, karaoke, a bar and one of the hip for suburbs of berlin. levita and ira appear at the club as well. because we have a very different life and the whole life. 6 the audience is cheering them on, and louisa and ira are happy with their performances. i'm in love, it's great. yeah, yeah, you soon? i'm touched, but thinking about it as well. when i hear the crowd's reaction in berlin and their

appreciation. and then it feels as if my place is here. i'd really like to come back again and again. so yeah, after there we can trip. it's clearer than ever to the polish drag queens that berlin is a magnet for queer people. and l g b t q writes are worth fighting for not just here, but everywhere the. is there any truth to the cliches about germans? for example, it said that they are very direct and not so subtle when giving their opinions. dw reporter joseph gunter is our token german who has set out to unveil the truth german, the end of punctuality, border and politeness put in height. well, that wasn't entirely honest, was it? what do you want? i am, you're in a german, united, german conscious and politeness isn't always one of all astray, but you can rely on us to be honest and direct. oh yeah. you think so? yes,

absolutely. we are always 100 percent on. usually we say something that will hurt someone, even then. okay, then let's examine the famous german birch you off on this to how on this and direct we term is really in every day live. and how bright does my in a german chime for the doesn't taste good. that's really how i owe everything was great. thank you. who had other food was good you have to tell. oh, that's the only way they can improve. no, that's true. nonsense. you know how the german saying goes at least you get them name, and honestly, is the best policy. just tell it, wasn't that good? me well, it was just a bit too salty,

sorry to hear that i will get it back to the kitchen. yeah, it's true, a lot of people in restaurants actually say if they don't like their food is generally seen as a way to help us improve. there's also a secret if you catch will. if you put you patrone down at 20 to 8, it means you didn't like your food, but only a few people will direct on his teeth can sometimes heard of it. but of course we're not ruthlessly owing us all the time. according to one serve a more than half of german slight every day. in fact, on average, germans lie more than 6 times per day. the in tennessee facade. lee, what are you doing? yeah. oh, we sent me something on german virtues. but how do i get doing what he did last france to to be on this?

not, not so good luck is stressful. and um, my dog is sick, i just found out like might pop it on me with my friends pool when it comes to relationships, germans don't take honesty very seriously around a 3rd have cheated on the park. no, no, i'm sorry. we ended up happened last week, but you know, at the same problem quote, says it, german troll for lies 5th short legs. it means lice don't last long before you catch them. i guess what we breaking up sir charles in, you know, never to ask a german how they doing. they go on forever. yes. i know, but i have a cedar for so long and i really didn't expect that jeremy is always given on his hands and no matter how long it takes, you should know that i'm so sorry, but i have to head off hope that's okay. um, i will let you know. okay,

but i have to get going now. okay. bye bye. the sofa, the german key shelf directness has held true. if you ask something you will get an honest answer whether you like it or not. yeah, i told you so, and it's the same at work. yeah. but i would say we a little less so right there you is. see 12. how's it going? well, i'm still waiting on a document from my colleague, nick. then just sent him an email. okay. dear hope you're doing well and having a stressful day can i ask you kindly if you could think of that stuff, what are you writing there in a, you know, it doesn't work like that. get rid of all the french, just ask when it's ready, cause it should have been ready by now. but the truth, no,

it's not rude. it's efficient in direct, right? this d or nick, you should have sent the document 15 minutes ago. 2 so why haven't got it yet, and when will you send it? send this, do you really want me to write that? yes. okay, just say so. he said, okay, you were right. so then we have the german honesty in directly is really do exist and i'm definitely guilty of it. and it's not considered rude to your rental for many of the spanish island of my york is the european destination for sea and sun. but it also has other treasures for travelers. especially for those who want to make their way from the capital palmer to the central town of so yeah, my journey begins in polymer. the capital of may ok with the train has its very own

station. he wants to ride the train spontaneously, you can only by to gets from the thoughts stuff. so to avoid saying was biased. here's my tough to reserve us to get online up to 7 days before departure because the train can get busy and no ticket, no train, everything looks like it's been frozen in time. the line has been in operation for over 100 years and runs on narrow gauge railway tracks. the more on that later, many trained carriages have been in service since the line began operating in 19. the. i bought a return ticket to 32 years. there are only very few railway lines on the spanish and end of may. ok. and this one is particularly beautiful. the views are spectacular. the on the right

the the big getting from one carriage to the next can be a bit challenging the

one route to so you the rarely passes the teen tunnels and snakes around many type bins. the narrow gauge train handles them easily, allowing it to make steve a sense in a short distance, the train claims 200 meters. we can afford to catch a glimpse for you. did you know that the valley of so yeah, is also called the valley of gold. and so yeah, is actually derived from the arabic wood. for golden valley is not exactly known why the arts cold, so yeah. so yeah, but it says that they are inspired by the color of olive oil and oranges, olives and oranges have been cultivated here for over a 1000 years. to say that the time on tennis mountain range is listed as a unesco world heritage site because this mountainous terrain of his fruit trees extra protection, the ellipse and oranges grow in his head to be especially error message. i really need to try some late to

the an hour later we pull into so yeah, train station the well, that was a really nice train right. in town, you can still get a sense of the wealth punched generated by the regions trade in citrus street. the orange juice made as well famous. so yeah, the wow,

that is something the the town also goes to street because it looks like a miniature version of the twin this. so yet i'm hoping award to ride to port this . so you had some 5 columbus as a way back in the day the street car was also used to transport oranges to port from where they were shipped out to the well the that is it. so then you, in these days, tourists and locals, take this recall to relax by the sea side, the my trip on the vin. this. so yeah, was honestly full of it. i could have expected is it enough to be on an antique

train? and then, and also noon, exploring the small plane. so yeah, and then a little bit to help you throw away in this beautiful spot. swing was the down at the port little it was when you're stands for diversity and this is reflected partly in the cuisine. every country has its own specialties. what the italians call pizza, the people of george called cock support. it's similar with joe and cheese, but we find out what sets it apart from the rest. who needs pizza? when the georgians have touched report a category is one of george's national dishes and the people are proud of it. but what makes it so special? we asked people around the capital. it's a blessing to find out how job only catch a porter is just the best. is that evidence to get to really it's very tasty and every george, and if they're real,

georgians loves catch reporting. every region in georgia has its own variation on the day. we'll tell you why later today we'll show you catch up for a journey in style. this bakery and the georgia and capital tbilisi specializes in catch reporting, picks up a heads up for the day, and then she cuts her. corey is part of the georgia dna above shelby that i mean when i was a child, i used to make katya pool re with my mother. and it's a very essential memory to me and shame of that. and that's what we had shipments hold on. just a few ingredients go into a catch reporting flower, yeast, salt water and of course, cheese. and that has to be georgian to make the treat the jar in style. and you also need to add an egg and a piece of butter. first of the flour and water permit, the why much we add east and we start making the dough.

the somebody don't move to stroke them so that the, you know, that the dough is ready when it starts being shining. this helps, and i'm sure that a ins the glue has done a real job for me. is that up? it's just uh, the most 80 minus it up, even though it was somebody else. then that can take awhile as high. so it's when it looks like this, the dough isn't ready yet the after that, the dough has to rise for 30 minutes. time to stoke the wood fired up in the after her for an hour. the ball of doe is shaped into a flat bread. the more tests that she now we put the cheese inside and spread it with a spoon there. she found them

each. then we're going to fold it into the famous catch up hurry and shake with that because we full the corners, have done it and stick the corners together. that's so it has the shape of a boat. it's important to use equal amounts of cheese and joe, for the catch referring. the cheese is made from 2 different types of georgia in house male. once it's all put together, the low flows into the oven for 15 minutes. while we're waiting, we try to find out about the other types of cuts reporting. researchers have discovered that there are 47 of them in the reading style is round a flat and has cheese on top. it really looks like a pizza. altima has several layers like amazon. yeah, each one is typical for a region. it's one level, it's got to look at. that's why we georgians are so proud of it too much to live in some regions. there might be only one kilometer between different villages by asking them and still the traditions and cuisines different. gus fargo's times that

over that that needs to be sure it has to do with our history about you must have to box on the the route george and history. we were separated and were united again to shane about. communication was not good. so the traditions and ingredients didn't mix what they're trying to to, to unit 15 minutes have gone by and the country reporting is almost done. now the big and the piece of butter go on top. but how do you need it? so it's, we take the fork and knife stuff and then put them aside. i mean, it's old. instead, you rip off a piece of the bread from the edge and use it to stir the egg and the butter way liquid. mix it with the cheese and a cheese. then you use the piece of bread as a fork. the whether it's for a snack or as a side to

a hearty meat dish. the people in georgia loved their catch reporting and eat it at any time of day and nearly any place african design or effect shown ok has found a nice in the interior. the core market, she combines home textiles and accessories with west african elements. under the slogan, bringing color to life, we got a closer look at her designs. in her a stopped at home of london. the making life more colorful is what london designer isa. she'll not get his set out to do, and she takes an approach all her own pass. it got to be in my court. everything that i am, it's reflected in these designs and it's such a great feeling that people respond positively to it. especially when i get launched her 1st collection in 2010 and scored an immediate hit, renounce stores carried her luxurious home textiles and accessories. now for

designs are available world wide. recent achievements include collaborations with so home the home furnishing line of exclusive clubs, so house hotels and luxury design or bathroom maker. c p heart. these are shown, i guess, study journalism and fell into design more or less by accidents that couldn't find the designs that i wanted. so i felt like why don't i designed it myself because in my head, i knew exactly what i wanted. he's not embarked on her creative journey in fryeburg, in southern germany, where she grew up. the daughter of nigerian parents for father is an art historian for mother, a pediatrician, travel, and visits to museums developed her interest in art and design. that was really from an early age, interested in interior design and in tex 1000 patton's, obviously west africa and the west african narrative. the rest of it can be of live as for me at the cool of my walk. but it's also a structured, very organized, which is, i think it's

a german elements which come into that. and i think the combination of these 2 elements and makes it a think sylvester tile. one of her inspirations is nigerian boutique and textile artist, chief new k davies, oakland di both or ethnic yorba a west african ethnic group with a highly rich culture. this includes the typical id or a fabrics made using indigo di techniques. these are also reflected in each of us designs. i mean, i'm not designing traditional african tech styles, but i'm trying to tell a story with my tech styles. i think that my doing the mystic background comes in as well. the designer tell stories from her life and her creations. she draws inspiration from experience that she's had along the way. she doesn't tell these stories and words go through colors and shapes. got the kind of that i'm in the idea. i often take pictures of everything that inspires me,

things that i see maybe a embroidery on a dress, so anything, once i'm happy with the design, then v enter, use the colors that i chose before and to that design eva has no doubt that she's found her true, colleagues, that everything she's done and has experienced over the years for childhood, for background. her experiences as a tv producer and fashion journalist has let her right to where she is. now. this is more than a business. this is like an extension of myself. and i think the self love and the self i the expression and sharing this, obviously with other people sharing this mr. wells and i'm seeing depreciation. and the last that i'm getting really gives me go ahead and gets me out of that every. the storytelling is as old as human kind, but how we tell stories varies the social nike tells them through her african

inspired designs. and with that, we wrap up another edition of your romantics. we hope you enjoyed the show. be sure to follow us on social media for more culture and lifestyle stories from europe. thanks for tuning in and join us again. next week, i would say the same the,
