a free into rail ticket. bottoms up to french artists paint with empty beer bottles. and drink jam exploring the beautiful islands of cool food. first up we showcase one of the best and most affordable ways to travel across the continent into rail passes are railway tickets that give the holder unlimited travel across european countries this summer fifteen thousand passes were given out for free to eighteen year olds across europe that's all thanks to two berlin as who successfully campaigned to make their dream a reality or rather the dreams of travel hungry teens we've been keeping up with the journey of a young scot and met him in the czech republic where he is exploring the capital city prague.

traveling to prague by train. student aid in gibson from edinburgh has impact on an intra let's venture cross europe. he's fascinated by prague stunning old town and of course no visit to the czech capital is complete without seeing the famous fourteenth century charles bridge. and even says some things remind him of his native edinburgh. you have a lot of street music artists a lot of and so on. but i think prague is. it's very different i think actually nicer than i expected i think yeah the buildings are really amazing when you see with your own eyes so very i think it's worth to come because it's nicer in person . this interesting take it has been paid for by the european

union. after even proposed a travel route and successfully on city europe has a jury picked him along with fourteen thousand nine hundred ninety nine other lucky eighteen year olds from the e.u. to embark on this unique trip through europe a journey with a mission. will be ambassadors of this program and hopefully it's going to run for many years because i think it's great it's positive change and obvious sharing my experiences through social media and probably not giving talks but i could also do that if i wanted to. yeah that's pretty much it i will be an ambassador for. the free interrail program is the idea of martin shapiro and vincent him on the hill who lobby of brussels to introduce a travel program for young europeans. the interest ticket itself has been around since one thousand nine hundred seventy two. vincent a man who would have been a free travel across the continent can help youngsters overcome stereotypes about

their european neighbors. that's what the two of them experienced when they themselves went on an intra. spirits great hospitality we were invited to people's homes for dinner in cities we were visiting at the time. some would even let others know we were coming to the city a lot of those work he moments for us new connections those new friendships that we struck up to us that really felt like europe and. have a place we got a whole new perspective on europe and truly understand that europe is not so much about its laws or politics but about the diversity of its people. many of the lucky fifteen thousand teens are sharing their travel experiences on social media describing their encounters with the europeans but does this actually help forge a sense of european identity. critics point out that it does little good if all

these young travelers do is part of a nicer way. atum gibson for his past that's valid to spend time exploring the history of the countries he visits in prague's museum of communism and its environs about the emergence of the former czechoslovakia and its times to the soviet union. he's one aware that after a break that other british youngsters like him will no longer have an opportunity to win a free internet ticket. he's deeply disappointed with the outcome of the referendum . i think a lot of people voted blindly initially and they didn't really know what they were voting about they were kind of following government propaganda like communism actually. and then it's time for a cold beer. this is after all the home country of the pit.

after two days in prague it's time for aiden gibson to move on in trail could be described as a kind of speed dating that you've barely gotten to know place and you're confronted with another stranger. and quite often you travel alone which is just what an eighteen year old. can really mean so many other solo travelers. actually maybe make some good friends over the way you can actually have a very good time traveling solo so i highly recommend. the next stops for eight in vienna budapest and. he'll visit for european countries in two weeks and take lots of fresh impressions home to edinburgh. where you can keep up with aiden's next few stops on our instagram page at d.f.w. your remarks where he'll be posting on insta story now we're headed on our own little journey across europe time to get you up to date in our express starting with a music festival in germany. you

know all the enjoyment of fuckin open now the world's biggest heavy metal festival has been traditionally opened by a brass band. for the past eighteen years the local fire departments back and has played the first concert the evening before the opening. on the first day around seventy five found some heavy metal fans are expected in the otherwise tranquil village of just eighteen hundred . back and has hosted the festival for almost thirty years now. and i went to is to stay on as editing chief of those fashion magazines american edition remiss have been circulating in recent weeks that she would vacate the post after thirty years now publish a condé nast has declared that the legendary journalist and native londoner would

a paint. the necks of the bottles of dipped in paint and used instead of brushes to create portraits the who call themselves null stumbled upon the portrait painting gimmick after a long night which presumably involved emptying a few bottles in the first place. doesn't enjoy a cold beer once in a while. but french geo knocked prefer to use beer bottles in an artistic way. not to complex women could not stand for nicola alexander and out of his we used beer bottles to make out soon with a new post which referred to the case of a pig. sack and alexandra a kayak met when studying in paris back then they were still into traditional. when a friend asked them to create some unconventional pieces to exhibit in his bar they had an unusual idea. that we were all school during the

day so we worked through the night it was tiring we drank a few beers and then it hit us how about be a painting. and alexandra swapped brushes for empty beer bottles now they dip the top end of the bottles in color and use them for painting . video vegetation for there are many kinds of beer bottles some are lighter than others but they're easier to use the. best stylishly geometrical artworks are reminiscent of pointillist paintings that you i get inspiration from hip hop music can often portray famous rappers and characters from comics to good books we usually paint portraits but we also get lots of commissions all kinds of on which do good. that work is

a hit with the public. they want to get ordinary people involved in the production of out. almost. the result of this is that it's a social event that's just about having fun people watch us paint buy a beer and then start painting as well as a room knocked who hang from not in western france often states lined bottle painting events in bands and camps. very regular guests at their festivals and trade fans around europe to. their unique style well expensed on launch campuses or is that just an excuse to drink lots of beer.

time now for today's installment of our series island dreams greece is one of the prime destinations when it comes to the travel trend of island hopping and no wonder the country boasts over three thousand islands in total we're off to see one of the most popular ones situated just off greece's northwestern coast corfu is the second largest of the ionian islands it's also among the richest regions in the entire country. is known by its inhabitants as care cuba but we discovered a third name. cook food is the seventh largest of the greek islands it's rich vegetation and just the name of the green island the royal cafe in can only south of the city of course through affords a fabulous view of public niecy the uninhabited mouse on and a landmark of coffee and have not the monastery island.

this is the right spot for plane spotters as well they can enjoy an excellent view of the airport's runway. every half hour a boat leaves can only use little pools for the bells on and the byzantine chapel reportedly dating back to the eleventh or twelfth century is worth a look here. just. for athletic types and particularly the island and its long sandy beaches are terrorized to do it is our nature is a bus the seemingly endless honey coon ass beach is ideal for kite surfing. that's also minute and this is my favorite beautiful kite surfing because it isn't as overcrowded and there aren't any rocks in the water and not many swim out of the sand it cost is really long and the water is clear out of. the inability of

long ago also discovered whole foods charms us to an end because elizabeth had some of palace built here in the nineteenth century. tourist guide and of us lucky knows the story of obviously sabbath and elizabeth named her place as you know and after achilles her favorite hero from the trojan war for her he embodies the strength and beauty of ancient greece that's why we find statues of the dying and victorious to kill us here in her garden and. the empress was a big fan of greek mythology. and chileans terrorists of the nine muses inside is a mineral depicting the killie's dragging of the vanquished hector under his chariots elizabeth appears to have had her demanding side as well. also not but at the get there are a few stories about her dining and drinking habits she likes coffee is red and

white wine is very much but she had most of her food brought in from abroad the loyalty of her admirers remained strong to this day. i come from harare. she was married to france are also fast rule. and hungry. i think she looks beautiful very passable. this that's why i wanted to visit the palace and see the building where she used to spend her silence. after being on. the boys under the sea locking chinese people the nicest parts of her city. yes we're here on the spin not known as the largest square in the balkans and to finish an occupation it was used as a parade ground that's when to day it's a nice spin off with a cricket field you get a sport or a doctor during the time of the english occupational. on the square is a place where tourists and residents alike can get together. from here there's

a good view of the palace of st michael and st george it was built during the english occupation in the early nineteenth century near the venetian era fortress. coffins all town is a mix of french british and venetian architecture and a unesco bulled cultural heritage site. when the midday heat begins to fade it's a good time to go stand up paddle boarding. the sun sets on spectacular. yet there will not be you know what i love paddling out into the sunset because the colors are so gorgeous and the seas are usually very calm at that time the beach is empty so you enjoy the beauty all around you even more intensely.

candlelight in kofu is aptly named old town restaurant the menu features traditional and in dishes the most famous of which is a freezer a stew of be over. after seven to get it everyone who comes to curfew must try the sofrito it's fantastic it's our traditional dish and it simply takes this wonderful happily gifts to come. down to it's it's time to explore cool who city is by great nightlife. now we feature plenty of musicians on this program but this next one is not your run of the mill songwriter or composer florian kepler designs out the professor from stuart got creates the alert sounds of electric cars and other industry products his latest project sees him transform dance moves into noise. thinking it when i don't know how things will come out that's interesting for me

each of you when i get the impression we do better at things we've never done before and where the end result is completely uncertain will it work if yes how well it worked the design to help them plan special about sound is that we perceive a lot of it somes consciously and of course that gives us a great opportunity that we can use sound to shake moods from it linking current. and how do sounds shape our perceptions something florian kept investigates in his studio the stuttgart musician and composer develops new sounds. all types of clients. ok go back to the beginning please because a phantom of. in recent years has concentrated on museums for the hashtag mine museum exhibition in stuttgart starts gallery for example he worked with students from a music academy to produce a kind of audio guide for smartphones. it's users get both information and music.

and tell it or not is you know in a sound environment that's different from say the parking garage we've just been in on your way to the museum it's from your own every day life and you're an ostomy place where you can move through the parts being done and experience the works of art hanging on the wall hanging from a different kind of perspective you. names a question. but isn't the endless barrage of sound more annoying than a relaxing silence. florian caplets says there is no relaxing silence in the museum voiceover he was fair we actually want this ambiance of conditioners and ventilators and fluorescent tubes that will give off sound and we can start there and ask could and be some very very subtle ambience so it comes even closer to absolute silence and if you did nothing you tonio called women it's must. silence is in itself

a sound and museums temples of culture where reverent silence is expected from visitors. in mannheim xnu constant museum florian kept encourage his music design students to go a step or two further. the idea was to make the museum a club where the art isn't in the eye of the beholder has but is co-created by them . this into active aspect is reflected in the principal work florian couplet conceived for the mannheim could starla the collect. should wall here the viewer can virtually experience almost every work in the museum's collection it's nice to in the sheets and this is not only underestimated we're going to have of course only a very small part is on display but now everyone can come in at this point they don't pay admission rather than tell people about the work the museum has and then lock most of them away sometimes for decades but now everyone can see what they're

really interested in sr so book us into submission i think they should. florian kepler is interested in nearly everything along with his museum projects the music designer is developing sounds for electric cars going to be so horrific it's quite often misapplied investigations can be turned the other way and be of interest music years while we can hash merriment with these driving algorithms and to meet. a group of men once again what i really love is when you see how both areas relate to and don't exclude one another. florian traveled a long way before he finally brought art and commercial success together originally the sound inventor wanted to be a rock star. for a time his band held the pictures was the opening act for blood and bob geldof but the big break never came in hindsight it may have been for the best florian kepler

had a free hand to devote the next twenty years to developing something that still fascinates him. to style these in a feeling of uncertainty where you don't know is going to ask if there's something you haven't thought of and to explore new possibilities and that means a lot to me. if you. now it's time for you to get involved are your marks d.i.y. experts show you fun ways to brighten up your home and today henschel only has a project that you can make using household products. the function. can go to me there's hardly anything more relaxing than watching
