1:40 am
be dangerous. so. more and more businesses are installing showers for employees who jog to work. that gives them the opportunity to make themselves presentable before they start the work day. but air pollution is just one hazard that joggers have to face there are also major traffic jams a recent report showed london has the second worst traffic congestion in europe. is really a big concern because ultimately this and means there is a decrease in productivity from the business side but also quite a big cost is being passed on to the driver with about three. costs like fuel wasted sitting in traffic or just the time that you are losing. commuters often get stuck in trains subways and buses snarling traffic david white got tired of delays

1:42 am
it is my home. the most beat district of berlin was once a working class neighborhood denny hall opened angora want here in two thousand and six back then it was germany's first cambodian restaurant. it's just a stone's throw from bellevue palace the official residence of the german president . danny hawke gets many of his ingredients in asian food stores all at the wholesaler the more exotic ingredients can't be found in many grocery stores. i like coming here but it's not my restaurant so it's a quick trip and i can get everything i need in my kitchen on these line leaves i have an intense playbook that. we use them for seasoning i usually but i love them
1:43 am
. danny hawk came to germany in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight when he was just nineteen in cambodia he grew up with foster parents and an uncle after losing his entire family to the brutal camaro rouge regime. he still has contact with his foster father and others back home. three years ago danny and some friends paid a visit to the place in cambodia where as a nine year old boy he had buried his own mother. the mayor of the local community also helped him find his mother's grave and danny held a buddhist ceremony in her memory. although he. he still feels a strong tie to cambodia today danny calls berlin. and
1:44 am
. then. when i think of home i remember my parents in cambodia when i was little. or i miss it a lot. i also missed the food my mother used to cook for me. like i wasn't allowed to help just wash me and one i remember the food in the sense in those familiar scents always remind me of home and wonder if and when one of them when they. come up training is a traditional cambodian dish. comes in many different versions it can be made with fish usually monkfish gaseous or sea
1:45 am
bass or with chicken or turn for the. cambodian feel it is flavorful but not a spicy hot as many other southeast asian cuisines. is a come bodie in term for cooking curry in banana leaves train means with fish. steaming helps the dish develop its flavors. or a mock tray is served in a bowl on a bed of banana leaves and price. income ottavi been on the. we used to build. one similar to spin it for example but not the kind that we know
1:46 am
here in germany and many people here don't like it much for that that's why we also use other ingredients like. the bell peppers and. the basic flavor of our mark is the same as you get in composed. in cambodia shared meals are an important part of the culture it's a tradition that danny hawke wants to pass on he sees his role not just as chef but as host to. its cosy hint i like that the place just has a very nice feel to it. the way it is a very friendly and happy to recommend nice dishes it's very homey. this is. my. whenever i long for our food back home i come here and speak cambodian with the owner and listen to my music playing in the background then i feel like i'm back home. and. they've adapted some of the dishes to
1:47 am
european tastes but it's always delicious you can eat a lot without getting fat to. the cambodian community and berlin is still fairly small but many come here to angora want to enjoy the familiar foods and flavors. but i. try. thanks to james bond the cia the m i six stasi and so on the world of spying has always been fascinating to the general public it's dangerous mysterious and it involves some of the most outlandish tactics but spine of course is not just a thing of the past or of the movies as still very much a part of the modern world which is one thing visitors will discover at the german spy museum in berlin.
1:48 am
glynne it could bridge between berlin and potsdam was also the border between west berlin and east germany until nine hundred eighty nine it's a place of historical significance as this is where the eastern and western powers swapped captured spies during the cold war. in twenty fifteen hollywood director steven spielberg used the bridge as an authentic location for his oscar winning film bridge of spies in it tom hanks plays an american lawyer sent to negotiate a spy swap. for . this and other stories are featured at the german spy museum in berlin. tourists come to berlin because of its history and of course espionage played a major role especially during the cold war here in the capital of spies. one

highlight of the exhibition is a tragedy fitted with infrared cameras it allowed east germany stasi to spy on its own citizens. the german spy museum has hundreds of items on display in an area covering three thousand square meters including these radios used by secret agents during world war two. and an original enigma machine used by the nazis to encrypt messages. but the museum also addresses the current state of espionage displaying examples of digital surveillance technology the start of spring after the german spy museum is the only museum that deals with the history of espionage and that means that worldwide there are only very few examples that deal at all with espionage and none really that show a chronicle of espionage its history since ancient times the way ours does. this may look like something from a james bond film but it was actually in the. use a lipstick pistol made for the soviet secret service for this camera sewn into
1:50 am
a bra. a matchbox camera perfect for concealing in a pocket or a key chain that can record. truth really can be stranger than fiction. here this kind of thing becomes real but for us just like maybe it's past and that and here we see that it actually happened it actually beauty history the things that we start things that we saw so yeah it's just. it's real. it's in my opinion. the german spine museum opened in twenty fifteen in a historic location right on potsdamer platz where the wall dividing east and west berlin used to be remnants of the wall still recall the cold war era. that's inspired many filmmakers. a number of spy

1:52 am
from the office just because the real work of espionage is very slow time consuming and very tedious these days spying is largely conducted using digital technology but no matter how the agents work this museum shows visitors of only ages just tell fascinating espionage can be. that museum looks like it could become one of the most popular tourist destinations in berlin well in the meantime we want to let you in on the winner of this week's contest now we asked you what your favorite destinations are and wayne chow from canada said that for him it is the brandenburg gate but in fact when he's visiting germany he really likes to go to the supermarket to get a feel for the country which is a bad idea so way congratulations you have won yourself a euro max watch all right and finally let's take a look now at a swedish designer who has many feathers in his cap and what he does with them is worthy over oil to. these i catching hats are very
