we make up oh but we want tons of office that under budget by we are the civil service from. day one to shape the continent's future to. be part of enjoying african youngsters as they share their stories their dreams and their challengers. of the seventy seven percent. platform for africa charedi.

one can say there is something quite ideal about the location and surroundings of the city unfortunately that's not a cold for me but from good to he was referring to heidelberg in southwestern germany this romantic city has enchanted many writers and painters let's see whether it casts its spell on me to. the old bridge is actually very romantic it leads across the neck a river to the old town. right next to the bridge gate we find this bronze monkey it's a much photographed landmark of title back. what does this monkey want to tell us that we are as ugly as he is and that's why he holds a mirror up to us but he also has an enticing promise anyone who touches the mirror will become rich. that is and those who touch his fingers will return to high back

. so it seems i'll be revisiting hydel back then. course title back cost is high on my list of things to do. also on the show our weekly v mail comes this time from the frosty destination the antarctic. and in our series meet a local georgette just shows us around her hometown. from highly backs alltel and it's a steep climb up to the castle the number one tourist attraction in this small city on the neck a river. back

castro has been intentionally kept as a ruin because if there really look creates a special atmosphere and if i take a look around i have to say the poets and tourists have every right to be impressed . with. the castle is titled there is crowning jewel a must see for romantics and millions of tourists. and french troops destroyed it during their occupation of the city in the seventeenth century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. in the height of. the guy that was a refugee from the french revolution and he was horrified how can we use this constant as a quarry and we have to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule of law giving that in this state it symbolize. the very notion of romance

the old stasi was the. one to show was. only a small portion of the council was rebuilt as a museum. it also displays the style in which the rich and powerful core festered lived. but above all it's the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world it's been especially popular among americans since the one nine hundred twenty four broadway hit about old title bad. tooth musical what are more facts now from broadway in the musical became the longest running show in broadway history and lots and suddenly every american knew about heidelberg introduction when this idea of the good old germany with its bad drinking students a little romance a little fording love captivated the american imagination. the castle is surrounded by an expansive park. with its exotic plants not parents and brought homes it was considered an eighth wonder of

the world. was in the summer months the council takes center stage as the perfect backdrop for the city's annual theater festival. i shop. and what better way to end a romantic day than on the banks of the next hour with a view of the light show and fireworks an event held three times a year. by fall of the scent of romance to heidelberg markets where. this is where you'll find the town hall and. the church of the holy spirits.

today the church is protestant but that wasn't always the case in the past it was a times used by catholics and then again by lutherans there were even times when both denominations celebrated mass and the church separated by a wall. this building just across from the church is the rear in a sense jim commissioned by a coffee merchant it's now a hotel that survived all the wars and fires that ravaged the city and today is a listed monument. i think you've had a great taste of title back so far that's why we meet the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in view of prevention one year from thailand took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video thanks for

that and now enjoy the v mail.

haida v.x. is the quintessential student town it's home to germany's oldest university it's over six hundred thirty years old. more than thirty thousand students are enrolled here. john is one

of them he offered to show me around our first stop is the assembly hall it reminds me of a church you. wouldn't know for a long time it was used for the teaching but today it's mostly reserved for concerts lectures the ceremonies and it's a place frequently shown off to tourists and among those considered like me and exactly. the assembly hall is the showpiece of heidelberg university's main building. next vino takes me to the library nearby it houses the priceless treasure the codex monday said. oh you have the welcome to our historic ground reading room and want a library and not the missing shows us the precious book well it's a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. at essence than

a bunch i think it's a collection of german a ballad and lyrical poetry. and it's because i'm the works of about one hundred forty singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly there about two hundred forty five thousand think the so it's like a really big song book yeah pretty much. the book was written and illustrated between thirteen hundred and thirteen forty it's not just a key source of mediæval songs with its portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the age of chivalry. there are many other valuable manuscripts in the university library they're being digitalized here page by page. now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library.

we move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven it's open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here it's the perfect place to quiz vino about life in hydra back. sooner than you know just what do you study in heidelberg studio here a bachelor's in southeast asian studies with a focus on history and ethnology especially in my native sri lanka and south india . and why in hyderabad like oh definitely several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation it's internationally renowned. it's also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with the university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head off. just a bit or does it and it's not only german students here right there from all over

the world. you know other advocates all right heidelberg is very international and so was the university we frequently have students from india pakistan bangladesh who start their master's program here we also run a lot of summer and vacation courses. so why is highly back known as the student tell us and so i thought i think that has a lot to do with the history heidelberg university was founded in thirty nine hundred six and for many decades in the centuries a quarter of heidelberg population was made up of students. so i don't fit a lot of scrutiny and then there's the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after they've been studying hard. on the. studio. sounds like a place to really go crazy with that in mind i have another tip for you.

some things never change students have always liked. party and in the past those who are party to heart were at risk of ending up in the so-called cots of the universities own prison today you won't find any locked up students tourists come here often terribly. generations of heidelberg students have left their mark here students who are trying too much broke the rules and threw stones at lamp posts they all ended up in our little burg universities private prison. in cuts ago before i knew it i was put in the cell i'm having fun the days a swell. two or three days of incarceration in the late nineteenth century was more of a laugh than a punishment it was a jovial jail. because copious amounts of alcohol flowed here to. the prison yard was

created with paint sort and left over food. nets they used to dread to make picture famous. the last inmate set here in sell for more than one hundred years ago france shandor maya born in one thousand nine hundred one in the town of show invite. his offense to the end can stand their student finance jandali a solid the sidewalk outside the house such time gas a number eighteen by urinating to give it to us all we need to. the last inmate didn't have time to contribute to the prison artwork he was released on february twenty first nine hundred fourteen six months later he volunteered for military service in the great war doing just a title record of heidelberg university then had more than twenty six hundred students of those more than twelve hundred well wolf and has i think they have

bigger worries in. the student jail was closed about a hundred years ago today and the only people leaving their trace are the tourists . as well as its narrow winding streets heidelberg also has a busy main road that runs parallel to the neck up through the old tell me. it's one of the longest and most beautiful pedestrian zones in europe full of shops and boutiques. it's also the location of the historic student hall and oxnard. built in seventeen zero three it's been run for the past one hundred seventy five years by the family many a celebrity yes stop by including marilyn monroe and mark twain. we

in serves up traditional fare and i'm eager to tuck in the hearty potato soup is right up my alley. while i'm eating my soup you can visit all the other sides a final back we haven't seen yet i bet you don't want to miss anything right. with this cafes bars and stores the street called stein gosar connects the town center and the old bridge you're sure to pass through manure tour through town. the nearby baroque jazzer were church is worth a snapshot it was built in the eighteenth century and as one of the largest and most significant churches in heidelberg.

and this is our insider's tip out of burg university's botanical garden it's more than a century old. it started as a doctor's garden for medicinal plants today more than ten thousand plant species grow in the green ounces and garden grounds. and. this may look like a greek amphitheater but it was built as a stage for events by the nazi party. today the thing started as a listed monument and is used for open air concerts. for soldiers heidelberg going ahead with today's visitors assessors and a bit here and i enjoy it if the how can i meet i may come here again very interesting. they are good with their go forward and

a very friend. if you want to visit gentlemen go to i did read is the best thing. a popular heidelberg survey near is the student kiss a specialty by the city's oldest chocolate maker of. many a seasoned politician as enjoyed the sweet treat. back in the days smitten students would gift a box as a token of their affection now the customer is most likely a tourist looking to take home a memento of their trip to hardenberg. now it's time for a trip to the crew next to the mountain meaning kingston where we're going up on the fin the jeweler it has several stops you can also get off at the castle but i'm going up all the way. in here.

you have to change trains from a new train to one of the oldest finish of the railways in germany the poets of the romantic era would no doubt have found some flowery language to describe the experience. it's a slow and bumpy journey very nostalgic. to right up to next to it is worth it simply for the spectacular views across title back and its surroundings but that's not the only reason i've come up. here waiting patiently. come on in. once or twice a day in summer the two new clothes fell can read this place it's birds of prey common vim of first shows us the eagle owl you were young. the show lasts about an hour and

a half and there is lots to learn about owls falcons and eagles visitors are welcome to share their knowledge and earn a feather or to. pass on that's how do they differ from other birds how can anyone tell me yes isn't it you know i think al's are an upturn will stand that it's ready to get a feather. the owner that als are nocturnal they prefer to fly in time to at night or twilight. yeah. he just. your info would have such a good hearing that for instance the barn owl which has the best hearing of all i can hear an insect crawling on a blade of grass i'm not kidding crawling first oh yeah and even more amazing it can hear that from a distance of one hundred meters that made on family times in my guns buff that is now put her on your hands put your thumb out for better that's the first exercise.

the next birds that come in shows us are felt of varying size she trains them to chase for hunting for example with a lure program she can't that in the air. at the end common presents a very impressive animal a bold eagle. i know. now it's time to get up close and personal with you. we are going to be fighting back again and head to a really hot region in the united arab emirates just for jump has invited us to i would be here is our meet a local flood. hello my name is george etc john i would like to welcome you to abu dhabi which is my

home for the past seven years i'm originally from malta and i'm happy to be showing you some of the best highlights the city has to offer. this is one of the best beaches we have here in abu dhabi the tank kilometer stretch of beach something which i really enjoy here is you come to the beach as a backdrop you have all of those skyscrapers behind you so you can get a feeling of both nature and the greatness of matt what bank can create. i love living in abu dhabi afford to secure it is gives me about two or so the mix of tradition and modern which tend to balance off each other in a video nice way only in the city of upper darby would have over three thousand one to around people here although having all of the modern luxuries still back to

their traditional values following the all for sure religion which is now thank. you nice. in such a cosmopolitan city the vegetable the molecules takes you back to what life is really all about here or deliberate and is ready to see people still live a very normal life. this is our dull hobby. the doll being the traditional boat which also represents the rich maritime history that abu dhabi has these dolls the dolls that go out late at night come in early in the morning selling their fresh catch to the local fishmongers at the fish market. ok.

and now for our last stop in abu dhabi i have chosen to take you to do all kinds of asian deck at the end to had. this is the observation deck the highest point one can visit in abu dhabi three hundred meters apart seven to fulfil is situated in the cluster around the tallis. this was my day in upper darby i hope you enjoyed seeing go into beautiful sights and hope to be seeing you soon and as they say in this part of the world must some of them are. going. to end my two off

idle back i'm going back up the hill across from the critics on the opposite side of the neck up this path is known as the philosopher's walk. historically it was just a path through the vignettes but during the romantic period it scenic beauty drew students professors and philosophers today it's a high life for visitors it gives fantastic views of the city and castle. i don't think i need to tell you any more about the romantic city or fight of back you've seen it for yourself and a quote from a famous german song pretty much sums it up my half in high def and over that means
