and it certainly seems that many here brazen this same air failed with the united states of 2nd. let me set up an exit documentary. looks like console vein. yeah, that has all the remaining space you in for me. are you printing with like a sticking points? it's, you know, 5 what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a certificate from your train. you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the world wide in such a base in life categories. something that is coming very very soon. and yeah, can we learn more about or know when a story info, migraines, the, there are some places just about everyone has heard of but few truly no

one such place is transylvania male dominated culture that nevertheless has its softer sides. some of these up rows of horses like a child's horses are like members of the family for us. romano. transylvania is a region with a long history and 5 brand traditions. it's a place where people enjoy life and are even at peace with the idea that one day coming to an end with financial aid, they could buy it. you know, a cemetery is the only one in the world, but people a lot of my problem of them across the away from the cities. some places appear almost frozen in time. right. in the heart of europe, the or the

low hanging clouds of mist, sinister legends, vampire stories. transylvania is perhaps best known for the saga of count dracula. brand castle is marketed as the counts home. but the region has much more to offer than spooky mets. its magnificent buildings are the backdrop to dramatic history on gary and germans and romanians have shaped transylvania. in the far north, on the border with ukraine is not what as the region historically, a part of transylvania is known for its skillful crafts people. and the elaborate wooden church is recognized by unesco squirreled heritage sites

in the small orthodox christian community of sep and residents, believe that dest loves would they say that the whole of human life, from the crib to the coffin, is bound up with wood. and people here have an unusual view of death. this is especially evident in the symmetry of this village of 3000 precedents. when a person dies to get their very own personal memorial, a lovingly carved brightly painted wooden cross, a picture, and a poem, each one unique. tell the story of the deceased. honestly, implacably, for better or for worse. for 45 years to meet you pop has been carving crosses here a place the locals call the mary symmetry. this makes them something of a village chronicler. the plan is for a son in law, you on to one day follow in his footsteps. to do that job, one needs to know

a lot about the people that's offensive. well, this is the new going to split the dean. this is the whole village knows the story of this deceased woman. good, because everyone knew how badly she treated the family, especially son in law and clinton. she repulsed him around it and find me to have the dogs touching it, but then people mocked him for ever. she's so close. i thought as you can the the do you mean that they're shipping us yada? yeah, cool. good off the back of those. yeah. the family asked me to make a cross that was a true memorial life for chat local executives when yeah, yeah. she knew matt and chip outside of the day. i think i was like a and this is yeah, so it's a this all colors, silver chest. it's a nice this cross at chip law as my mother and it all 3 unit. if she live just one day, know you might be down 3 credit to you with mothers cross yet. i'm trying to wake up that otherwise she'll come back home to a new and tease me. mean,

was it people or reactions for positive cause? it's probably the ones that i'd written anything wrong and so no, no problems how she walked out is if you can say like, got that persona. it's demitra alone, who decides which life event commemorates the deceased and above all, what information is included in the short poem? yes, if what about this on a district? this is for a young man who dodge and a car accident. and i wrote the following is national, i rest here to young age is my name is green. google guy had given me a property, put myself inexpensive cop much mercedes didn't last, long. queen died in my car flat before did even left last night when life came to an end. so i think with the phone, you know, i'd at least have a bride me, i could. now, i'm not even mike right preferred to nickel as the final words of remembrance since here, but with a wink and a notch. but

to meet you has no intention of mocking the deceased. he carves paints and writes with one overarching aspiration check underneath the day as the, the due to the idea is to change people's perspective on bass. and who is your name? mary. symmetry is the only one in the world, but people off about that rather than cry, new separately and taking the sorrow out of death. a mission that became is life's work. over the years, the 67 year old has made a name for himself across romania check. the geographically transylvania forms the center and the north west of romania. the region, surrounded by the elongated mountain ranges of the carpet and the fusion of

booker as seen as the unofficial capital of transylvania. with some 325000 residence clues, it's romania, 2nd largest city, and the cultural economic and scientific center of transylvania. the formerly known as cows and book, it was founded by german settlers and the 13th century. the grand buildings and the old town testified to its great regional significance. today, it's mostly young people out and about on the streets. clues is a university city representing a young and modern transylvania, an exception innovation that's for the most part room and traditional in the small towns and villages. there's an incredible sense of peace and quiet

here. people still have time for at least they take it on the roads there almost as many carriages as there are cars. horses are closely linked to the regions history to the stay in transylvania. they're not just an important mode of transport. they're also a state of constantine ramos, is the proud owner of $31.00 horses. really, really, really, really. his farm isn't far from clues. side below. ha, ha, ha, ha. come to papa. how do you say come to papa? who is the best to have somebody come into the constantine or costello, as everyone calls him, has a close, almost familiar like bond with his horses almost

any more horses are the most beautiful animals on this planet. i have loved horses since i was a kid. pretty mother. when i was 8, i bought myself a donkey. i couldn't afford anything more delicate, bought the food to now adays, not only does costello have enough money to pursue his passion, he's also turned into a source of income, eastern breeding, and selling horses for 30 years. the the list of, hey look here, sweet little guy. come to papa. give me your leg. the good boy a good boy. but i, a lot of those. he's still young because that if you don't train him now he'll kick you in the face later. you have to learn now the thing just like a child the deal,

but as much as he correspond to the animals at some point, it's time to let them go. one of the reasons most important markets is taking place tomorrow. stella, the mirror is due to change, hands for the negotiations are already in full swing until the part that means i've asked for 4500 years. i don't know if i'll get that. i have to convince the buyer in person. i'll try and negotiate the highest possible price only the potential buyer wants to see some new photos before meeting the horse tomorrow and the flash coastal breeds from my desk, send me crazy. a traditional romanian freed originally used us working animals today to primarily a status symbol at the upcoming horse market and g low. they're highly priced.

transylvania means beyond the far like a big old carpet farse cover, large areas of the region right up to the peaks of the corporate, the mountains. the few people who settled here live with and from nature. it sounds romantic, but it's not so easy. it's 6 in the morning, the start of the working day for shepherd twi, desktop bush, even though today's work it's a little out of the ordinary way. megan ok now it's going to be a tough thing and that's just the way to sort. i couldn't make it, i'll feel i work in my bones this evening. but that's ok. squatters can't live from his cheap alone with every 2 months. he steps off to spire sites to make charcoal the

but that's like i put in the pushes. so if anybody needs to chuckle to suffice same, otherwise, there isn't enough money funding. we need both the sheet. i'm the child co and then we manage to get by and if they do not. so but anyway, you know, some 12, there's family farm is located high up in the mountains besides cheap, she owns goats, pigs. and if you heck, there's a forest, meaning he has what at his disposal, with the source material at hand tried eric and get started. he gradually piles up several tons of phone dry wood. the center, what's known as the quando shaft is crucial. it square twat air will light the fire later. to do this, he needs phone dry would have a fine take me. and this secret ingredient, just the brother of the phones alter foster one by one water and this helper

stacked the logs in a circle around the core. it looks simple, but it demands great concentration. the spacing is crucial to close and not enough oxygen will reach the core too far apart and it will for an even link visit the hold on. and he said, if i did a good job at the end, i combine them until then all i can do is how water grew up in the mountains. just him and his parents. well, other children, practice writing and math, quad air learn to bring 400 sheep safely to pasture, to make cheese out of milk and charcoal out of what? nobody really. i couldn't walk in an office. no, i need the freedom and the fresh air out here in nature the most everyone can live in the city anyway, no, hold on the stack is almost finished. a pile of wood,

wayne tons with ventilation shafts to water covers it 1st but straw. and then with cold ash and soil this protects the wood from wind and moisture. finally, the lights to fire through a narrow cabin, the stacked news about a vehicle. i need to how are you the more so the fuck catchers on the other side of the family becca. otherwise it will just be the front of zillow fish in the mountains. and the flames go out quickly. but the embers continued to glow beneath the dome, where there's just enough oxygen disco lice and controlling the invisible smouldering

fire to prevent the stack from going up in flames. the twat air won't know how good the charcoal will be until he reopens the stag. after 5 days, transel dania has been the backdrop of an eventful history. romania is best known region is a melting pot of different european peoples, the culture of the region's ethnic germans as entrenched here to this day. there are more than $150.00, preserved fortified churches here an impressive legacy of the chancel, banyon saxons. they were built around the 15th century to defend against ottoman invasion and towns like beauty, town, or city swatter, residents could take refuge and the structures. houses of worship were turned into

proper strong holes with thick walls, observation towers, an entire neighborhood. most of the ethnic germans began leaving romania after 1970 . today. around 16000 transylvanian saxon still live in the region. are in the village of king. quote, 2 of them are going back to their routes. molina and alex, how that want to preserve the culture and language of their ancestors in particular, the artist and traditions of the chance of being, in fact, since the together, they're renovating the house. that once belonged to my lee and his grandparents with old materials and tools when possible. they're currently working on a wooden pavilion details for them. the challenge is when you work with old materials, it's quite normal that nothing fits and everything is crooked because everything was crafted by half, almost always in the water. well, a carpenter,

alex takes care of practical aspects. malayna goes on a daily treasure hunt for old items, or latest find antique doors and matching windows. she's also discovered evidence of their historic value. i'm trying to move for an afternoon web students to show me that we found the exact technical drawing in the carpenter's book from 1874 lessons in done that provide things like this sa proof that here in this region of transylvania and romania there's an old opposite tradition, that's west reviving the voice the hero. and that's to be, that's a believe. and in their renovation project, the habits utilize their ancestors materials and know how as a way of building sustainably, well saving money. these fines very nearly became firewood. yeah, this is nicholas smith and this yes. so it's

a great piece of work in terms of craftsmanship and design checklist. it's a real tricia that survive to more than 100 years out in it. but there are still quite a bit of work to do before alex can fit the doors into the wooden frames. it's going in many me 2 millimeters. yeah, that's staying put. let him all the problems disrupts too long and the joint has the wrong dimensions. but alex is not giving up, they're not just seems they're challenging. one of them in his workshop, alex finds a suitable tool for every challenge to 38 year old collects traditional tools from the region and repairs them. i think that there is, and best of any credited from the old tools are better to some of the quality of

steel is better and they're much more robust than the standard tools. you can buy everywhere these dates and come on and, and if they're old and from the village, it's safe to say they were made by a village blacksmith with a particular craftsman in mind. you must ex, doesn't up because don't so he'd never give them anything shouting because the 2 of them would see each other almost every day. the unconventional project has long been the subject of village gossip, or on a tiller she was in. the largest city are sure people shake their heads when they talk about us. some were the ones who collect all the old junk that would normally be thrown away to make a few quick lane for a scrap iron or firewood to no one's collecting this kind of stuff. so of course, where the freaks around here can see the freaks. but that's just fine. good. so alex was born in bushes marlena in bucharest they were raised bilingually. but

living in germany was never an option for them. their roots to their romanian homeland drum deep and my name feels them here especially that's my new mortgage document list um when i grandmother died now. so i came to the empty house a short time, late to certification letter for who said in some, a very difficult time in my life that much or should it against that solely mentally. well, a time when i was wondering who i was and what i was actually doing the oh yeah. oh my god, me so i wasn't so conscious of it at the time. but it turned out to be a wonderful dream. and so malayna state.

but realizing her dream became more complicated than expected, the couple kept coming up against new unforeseen problems. that's not why little or is it the nails from alex to supply don't fit. they won't be able to continue working on the wooden frames for the pavilion. well molina and alex tried to find a solution for the to the noise. people are also working to preserve another additional transylvania tradition in the little village of suspense to meet you. pop makes us what do we process for the disease? he's been doing it for 45 years. he feels those 2 years and his phones it's important to him that the traditional past on his son in law is to take over the reins. a huge honor for the young man.

and from me she was last time r k y. that is, that's a big responsibility for me. i mean that, that's the wonderful. uh huh. a dental care that i'm not setting out to be better than my predecessor, but i'd like to at least reach his level either. i'd like to achieve that. it pushes, i'm a cadillac, like many young romanians you on worked on construction sites or funds across europe as a migrant labor. his home village couldn't secure him a future, neither personally nor financially. i've told him at do me to his daughter and started helping out in the workshop cuz she worked with across as gave me a purpose of mice again. so that's why i decided to stay in pensa. i felt at home here again, and then it was very difficult for me before you spend demetrius apprentice for 2

years and will ideally take over the job soon. but there is one problem. his skills aren't quite up to the master, is accepting standards. the she doesn't care. mazda is about the, i'd like you to finish chiseling the up a rece today as to whether lettering go like to go to tape, and i hope it works out. but i'm nearly done here. you, once you've done that much, you can help me with the painting, victoria, that the coaches to come. so i'll do my best on this cross as to be a final memorial to partridge family. friend, the of the

the g low horse market is a combination of trade show and family reunion. it's already packed, just like every year. and traders are still trying to secure an area on the field, which is much too small. the cost down the horse speedo from cruise estimates again, but he's determined to find a spot the point. i don't know if any event like this festival is unique. 50, but it's about honor in monterey, this is the most of them are a lot of money. who costello's hoping to sell one of his best mares today, the potential buyer is also the organizer of the market to the mode of on making sure everything comes together

the future and for some of the screw. this goes on, this thing i can put into words how important this market is to me. it's in my blood. oh, my father, my grandfather in my entire family always had horses and that's how they earned the living within. you know, i don't of course it's like a child who remembered if i'm courses are like members of the family for us. romano . so that really for me to, to listen to them. we'll see, belongs to the romani ethnic group. like almost all those taking part in the market . the 1st through many people arrived in transylvania in the mid 14th century from india and anatolia horse trading as one of this ethnic minorities oldest and most respected professions. with a lot of fanfare, the men try to get potential buyers to notice their voices. negotiations are conducted in a rather crude manner. enough few for such

a 3000 fuel chunk scoundrel, 4000. eventually, at double handshake, seals the deal and the tone becomes friendlier. the horse trading as a male domain in a culture that's generally dominated by man. aside from money, this business is also about socializing. the market is the get together of the year for the romani. they each drink and party into the night. it just depends. it's a different atmosphere. the village in northern pennsylvania is in morning. a member of the close knit community died just a week ago. the widow newtown, has commissioned across for husband stan cork. everyone's still in shock. he was only 57 years old and infection resulted in oregon failure

committee. jim looked at close with no one saw coming to general. if you'd only complains about the pain earlier, if he'd been at the hospital sooner. but it was already too late. his entire body was infected well, naturally and so sad in suspense. a people have an unusual attitude to death, say more, but try not to dwell into sorrow. us remember the good things? i think if there's so many photos of it, i check one of our grand daughters just one year old. here i check with, slashed by the window new to has asked me to puff to make a cross. as all the villagers do, when enough one dies, locals believe the cross as the entrance to paradise, the contrast, and what does the thoughts of this fix?

the fact of the cross will be a sign of respect for my beloved husband. he knew i'm not worried because i trust to meet your with all my heart. he said she knows the story of every person he makes across for which is changed from here. he was a friend of my husband, but i wanna, he knows everything i thought see if that's okay, give me what 15 days from when i do me true pop knows don clark and his wife. well, he was at their wedding and their children's baptisms. while demetrius son in law works on the carving, dmitri will write a poem about his departed friend, which is a site survey. and so i was trying to westside when a family member process, i didn't, i mean, we'll miss it. i'm the to the up. i don't have that and if i mean on this occasion to dimitry a little remain true test principles say so. so to present whatever our role it's on the cross as it to that there's always a surprise for the family into media. they only see the cross at this stage. and

then again, once it's completely finished the crew, i've never shown as a problem before. i know my but otherwise i might say don't, right, that's on it. no, no, no, no, cuz i protest this is pronunciation the new tough fully and trust demitra was composing her husband's final attribute the to mary's symmetry of spencer. it's one of a kind. 7 like an open book where visitors can read about the late residents of the village. the orthodox christian community facing tests with openness and humor. and there's a lesson in there for the living or to meet you knows how tough life can be. but he always tries to see the bright side

apart from when there is nothing cheerful or humorous to say, as in the case of this little girl. right, just vanessa. i've done and how talk to you that came from cbs. because the biggest, the country is now we have to stop in front of our house and then run me over and make my parents so side. i wouldn't go to the to didn't judge it could get in this tragic accident that happened in front of the parents of interest and to the events like this. a song painting fault and touch it go, else cannot describe it. why should each time i read a sense of grief for tut, chavez, a ship intravenous, attacking who fell off with no matter how terrible the fate to meet, you must always find words. but the uninstall from the including now for the death of his friend stan good.

the embers and the charcoal pile of 12 deer top bush has been burning for 5 days. few layer tons of wood to build the stack, also known as a clump quad or smoking as animals quickly today. because his instinct is telling him, it's time to open the club by full mouth, but now for me, i can never be so you'll get a good result. that sometimes the cold has been done up in the wood stays as it has taken a lot of good feeling. we've been trying to put some of the money from the sale of the charcoal as an important source of income for to water and his family. the animal is alone, aren't enough to make ends meet the water. can't really tell what the pile looks like inside you needs to open it. the price, i mean, i'm starting here the

life cycle mazda needs more time. it's not showing you how to do it. still would need to close the whole again, calculator, so not that sample or just like a back. otherwise i'll smell of a flame again. no, ma'am. my electrical components. swab air gingerly closes the gap here on the left. the wood isn't yet sufficiently charged, but the embers aren't evenly distributed. on the right side, it could be ready to waters hoping for partial success. at least i'm not doing like a boy. now i need to see if it's worked a while. not how does it looks good? it didn't say mindful the trunk go slowly starting to show. yeah. yeah, there's a ship that's like a moving from there. it's a child and just as good with the

i think that's very good. we can control cali. study back. i think no matter how i strike it, it doesn't break. it's a good quality, a default if that water is family, is one of about 20 living in the mountains isolated from the rest of civilization. they rely on each other to survive. water supplies them with his charcoal for 14 a percent around 8 your the and there's always fuel in the house for cooking supper today as mutton and cradled sheep smell the between the ship and the charcoal water is confident he'll always be able to feed his family

here tucked away in the mountains of transylvania. the as in ching cool. it's also time to get cooking like her approach to house renovation. melinda, have tried to use what's on hand for her meals today. she's prepping a wine. so a typical dish that her ancestors would have eaten to boost their only assistance, especially when they had a cold to care for the trans. sylvania and saxons are known to be frugal when it comes to that cuisine. one, pick it up, this is canals or the alpha that means using it can see what's available. i'm just used my name is cooking ahead of time because she has an important appointment today. work on the old pavilion hasn't been progressing. alex couldn't find the

right nails for the job, but a blacksmith friend should be able to help. he's going to make them custom nails. the head can be slightly bigger, and that's a 50, empty, or radically the head can be just as big toe mustang strikes the iron heated to around 1350 degrees in the fire into the males. precise conical shape. there's a small german speaking community in the region. it's a mix of transel vanya saxons, and people who have left germany to come and live here. many of them more says crafts people per artist, a sincere it is slow. oh, wow,

super cool. oh wow. the new nails and the old doors fit perfectly. the the story pavilion project is finally coming along. is amazing. i can, i can picture it properly now. it's going to be great. we've got a reason to celebrate. don't wait and i'm having some fun. oh, wow. you bet. hm, lou. well then let's talk in a couple of things. their friends and helpers with wind soup and cake. their dream of a house with a rich back story, and the home of their ancestors is taking shape the and spencer a new date ons. to meet you, pop is finding the right words for the attribute test. late friend as apprentice you on is making the final touches to the cross.

the do you want is under a great deal of pressure just after all, demitra count. retire until his son in law is able to fashion an entire across on his own. the more to look regarding it shouldn't get. it's not perfect is there are a few small mistakes. if you look closely generic. the most important thing is that this line here is perfectly straight. so that forms a distinct framework because if you need something to be done that well when you for yeah, my might as to maybe now. yeah. the next step is for you want to apply color to the cross. the bright hughes of the grave crosses are just as unusual as the poems and portraits are you on is getting better all the time. but no one becomes

a village chronicler and poets overnight. she don't know i'm with, i'm still a beginner. there are many tricks and techniques left for me to learn normal things, but i'm in the best position possible because dimitria is a great teacher. but on to columbus to pull some professional frontier one, i'm confident i'll be able to replace. i'm assuming. oh so then what's good? a good equipment demitra has written around 500 times during his career. this one was especially difficult, but now he thinks he's found the right words. i guess i'm not the gmc session. i you to my here on life to ration my name is stone. go go to. i'll tell you the truth because the lead my life was not easy. it was defined by look at a more it didn't have such

a full di share. that's why i'm lying and coughing. now, she the only nice thing i love it. if i make snaps from my own apple office, most lovely his widow will be pleased showing that you cannot do we accept these ties. i sometimes wonder what i'll leave behind that i'm put, you know, i don't know how many more years i have left. but luckily, i've got someone to take, of course, if i could, okay. if buffy actually would much cut in between the time comments. so you might hope you want to write the truth, some like cross it to a chip that will be up into coach on the truth about a life in just a few words. that's no simple feet for demitra and you on life isn't solely about the highest or the lowest, which is why there will always be space for both at the mary symmetry. and so pensa

c. 2 2 g little market, the horses aren't just for sale. they also compete in a variety of contests. the animals must demonstrate their strengths and some score extra points for beauty. nowadays, the market runs itself. organizer proceeds finally has time to devote to his own business. so people couldn't do lots of july, you can put it by like something then i have to have it run out because still has something i really liked about you. oh cool. so the yeah. i wish you a long live close though. how are you? i'm very well this is the mayor. i'd like to sell also. yeah. but she's a beauty. how old is she again so well just to, to use exactly the way i the she's what your price. i'd like 4500,

but i don't know what you can afford. that's daylight robbery. we're not in germany . what's your offer for the 3500 to the 33500 for this mer? no. or did you look at her legs like a goddess of the children? bully for yourself. look at it. take a close look at the se of the she kind of what's your final price? which photo center offers to low on the customary negotiation is underway. the mentees and provoke one another, seeing how far they can push it. a single handshake signals initial interest. after some haggling, double handshake, field video. no, yeah, we're good for the level,

good level. been very pleased with that. we agreed on $3750.00 euro, so that's a fair price for both of us up to set you that the mirror is a perfect fit for my breeding program. but i don't see the bundle, but it will kind of push the selling. the mayor was meter sweet to allow me they wanted me to is that those that adults use the car, but i know where she's going. but it opened the door, them over with him that she won't have to work in the forest. she won't be the country in a bunch of it was like a father in his child exact effect because i wouldn't entrust my daughter to a bad man that the gentle good bible is there no bought this useful home audio. that's the way it is with my horse has to go by the early evening and cos dennis returning test farm and horses and cures. there is pride and joy and one important part of transylvania is vibrant culture. and many here are doing all they

can to preserve that culture, the shift your guides to life and it did to to the flow of the latest online trend. navigate your way through the digital jungle global perspective. we'll be you'll guide and show you what's possible. you decide what really message to you in 15 minutes on the w. 20. yes. i stuff with the bearable pain. my period always minutes painting candice. miss kim. priscilla has in demetrius an affliction that affects

many women. doctors often don't cheat the disease seriously. that needs to change. but how? breaking the silence over and demetrius says in 30 minutes on d, w, the shape crises, every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the

business dw, use live from berlin mall, press out if a lot of man, putin as ukraine, has another key bridge inside russia is a 2nd. to me, james, this truck, that's how gets key says that it has destroyed in recent space. assets forces consolidates, gains in the cost region. also i have the eas, riley strikes, scale, more palestinians in gaza, even as the us secretary of state, down to the blinking at the middle east to south the southeast by. i deal about how my says is on the lucian, the .
