flash keys from the older ones helped create a relief to the key mosaics become three dimensional. as it isn't it isn't the guns because a lot of times i've incorporated a very special keyboard into this picture and it was owned by the inventor of pac man himself told me i think when i got hold of it i thought it's just too gorgeous i can't destroy it and this thing has it's gone so i left it in one piece on the made a classic motif of this classic. the creature devours its creator but it does so in a very charming way often as. the inspiration for his first key measure takes was a spit computer games from the one nine hundred eighty s. like space invaders. the frankfurt based artist has always taken his subjects from the computer world using jesus pixels seems only natural but he also wants to paint conventional subjects now he's working on

where i was born well and the linn where i now live. in years and eric are rough and i run a cuban restaurant in britain to kenya has been a little about. before that i opened it four years ago they did a lot of precepts there discovered that while they were several cuban bombs there was no truly cuban restaurant in the city. so it was high time to open one. plus amongst the phone did what you really like about germans is that they're fearless when it comes to trying out new kinds of crazy and they are very flexible free underpins your experience and they're very honest. it is corrupt fellow grew up in a small town in the west of cuba she had her first child at seventeen in one thousand nine hundred nine an uncle who lived in berlin invited her to come visit she

decided to stay at home she had been an english teacher in germany she started to work in restaurants. just throw me through my father always found gastronomy interesting and we don't have that in cuba people opening their own businesses. although i trained is another profession and i've always dreamed drawn to the restaurant trade yet even as a little child like i would love to spend time in the kitchen with my grandmother by two she would always cook for a lot of people and i was there with her. all ornish what emails were done by. eric got off alone was born in the same town as his wife they lived just fifty meters apart but they never met back then. he started agricultural science and then left for italy that's where he met era's who was on holiday there

eric has lived in britain for ten years now. he taught himself how to cook and he is always experimenting and dreaming up new recipes cuban cuisine is an enduring source of inspiration it is itself a fascinating mix of influences among them african and spanish. that all i am really passionate about what i do. i always enjoy cooking. and learned a lot working in various establishment the poor thing i thought about it for a long time and then i decided to do this. and present my culture and cook for the german public and political one. but up of the year is the cuban national dish the name means old rex but the dish is a beef stew the recipe calls for flank steak because the trades well when cooked.

cuban cuisine tends to be spicy and highly seasoned with plenty of garlic cumin and failed leaves. baby leaves are also pictured in the cuban kosovo's there is symbol of strength. to make up of yet the meat is boiled toe tender and then it's pulled apart and looks like drags you. to. the history of the dish has long been disputed some say it originated on the canary islands others say it comes from mainland spain. at the brothel it's something you can always eat meat and we broke the good makes a great family meal because it's so practical. in fact you can make two forces with the one piece of meat which will cause you first of a hearty soup with a little soap and then use the meat to make

a delicious well. the restaurant isn't shit about a mainly residential neighborhood with lots of menus streetlife and cafes people have come here to enjoy themselves since the mid nineteenth century. let the kenya is not on the main road hordes of hungry people don't necessarily come in just by chance the start was difficult but its reputation has been growing and run even patrons are regulars now. the style love the atmosphere and the people to do this with it's not highly recommended it was very tasty but to say listen this is a dish to it feels like a piece of cuba that's where i'm from if you lose abroad it's important to have somewhere that feels like oh no you know that's why we come here. there is the regular menu and very special but the dish that is in great just a month is about the viet. nam of course you know

a bit of the. and. it's better to have in. the hotel free zone in brussels is a modest building at first glance but what most tourists may not know is that it's a wee unesco world heritage site now this is because it was designed by the architect victor horta who was a key architect of the art nouveau era now the building has changed ownership and it's been renovated now it'll open in all of its splendor as a museum and the owner's new living quarters. this townhouse in the heart of brussels is an architectural gem the signature of its designer victor horta is visible everywhere down to the last detail aptly it's located on the roof or street of the handsome one after years of neglect the former result had lost a child a sleeping beauty waiting to wake from

a slumber. and newport tran an indian princess wants to break the spell. soon after moving to the belgian capital in twenty seventeen she discovered the old arguable building it was love at first sight. if a child you don't take care off the child is neglected you know and i felt in a way that the home was like and often looking for a parent and. and when i stepped into it the house was literally crying please take care of me. and she responded to floor by floor as she lovingly restored every nook and cranny and uncovered elements. of the building which was designed by pioneering architect victor horta in the late nineteenth century now over a century later has had new life breathed into it. the second

is restoring all the painting the frescoes and the fuss up so the facade is going to be like it was originated in one thousand nine hundred four and that is going to pop the heart the housemaids off on route to go because right now it's a bit camouflage you don't really see it it's very discreet. discreet on the outside perhaps but the interior cannot hide the splendor of the treasures it is home to. many of the original furnishings and fixtures are very well preserved. it is people have o.-u. living you know all too well. home how can you green it's overwhelming you know motives and colors are just pouring like a monsoon on you know. getting a make over by the indian art lover was a godsend for the building and the cultural heritage of brussels a sleeping beauty reawakens. and finally we wrap up

the show with the final part of our series on musical instrument but gong has been used in ritual ceremonies prayer and meditation since the bronze age and more recently it's been used on stage with rock bands well since its roots can be traced back to china you might think that this is where the gong is made but actually there's a company in northern germany which has gained quite a reputation in making these metal instruments. one hundred and ten kilograms of nickel silver vibrating creating countless tens. in order but they affect us all the same. it is a lot to us when certain people are afraid and say that's too powerful too intense

they don't like it but others do they find the vibrations of the gong to be soothing the vibrations go through their entire body so it functions like a massage this isn't even over the massage. but there's a lot of work involved the for a feisty goan can get massages plenty of heat and muscle power and control can go wrong along the way each gone starts out as a metal disk that's heated up to eight hundred degrees celsius. and we featured the edges to soften the sun our colleagues can bend them using blows from a hammer otherwise the materials to haunt us if we heat it wrong it can get to solved then my colleagues might moan because our boss things up is. to go on making facility and shocked out off workers rely on one another and going must have the

right cephus tension or it won't sound right so then technically i just fast making around fifteen hundred dents in the metal if one of the blades lands in the wrong spot the whole instrument can be ruined. it's took my the cuff entry i put all my strength and my energy into it because the gong needs that this gong can only sound good if i give it enough attention power hopefully it will return the favor by making a reasonably nice sound. off to countless. close to stabilize the gong to send my uses his hand to find the sound. i mean i can make a huge difference to the way the kong sounds. at the end of the gong gets its own face it's a place to tradition. some of our companies are going to go down plus when you're tense you make more mistakes than when you take a more relaxed approach and say yes i'm going to finish scraping it if the

dangerous part is that this area here. if you scrape along this line you should do the same along the edge of the center circle too but you risk slipping up and going into the center and then you're done for him it is done as it was before you. after three days of hard work the comb has not world famous pointy sound bands like pink floyd and the police have used the phones gongs. at a summit gig i am made in germany couldn't brain point this beat any drum patterns down. these days rather than on the concert stage more of pisces gongs wind up in yoga cintas. now with that we come to the end of the show but we want to let you in on this week's contest winner before we go now all this week we had asked you if you play

an instrument and if so which one now lots of people send in photos as you can see right there but there can only be one no winner from our draw and that is andrea linus from mexico and there she is playing her charla cello rather so we drew her entry as the winner congratulations under you have won yourself a euro max wrist watch or get that off to you right away so now it's time to say the vibe of be sure to tune in tomorrow for our highlights show and the best kicks out of the week we will see you then. next time on your home x. the highlights of the week a new museum in tennis features an exhibition about the legendary ladies' man casanova. the creations of belgian florist done your own stuff in demand the world over. and german officer klaus dove and transforms gray walls with
