large parts of the famous t.v. series for films here over the past ten years. one of the main reasons the game of thrones came to northern ireland was the wealth of our scenery every one of our six countries has a slightly different look to it it has a different geology has a different landscape for two seasons richard hodge and played one of the wildlings in game of thrones now he gives tours of the locations. fans can visit the original scenes for example the twelfth century in shabby set of belfast and if they like they can even become knights of westerns for a brief moment. in every step that we took we took pictures of it it's amazing it's amazing it's i felt like i'm actually in with the foul it's amazing. in the landscape score just on its own it's quite impressive

actually specially coming from australia you don't have anything like this. game of thrones is set in a fantasy world where families battle for control of the continent of western. country. our enemy doesn't. stop. various peoples also have to defend themselves against common enemies. a number of northern ireland's many castles and runes served as settings for the series. such as the tower house a fifteenth century outlays castle. awarded became winterfell castle one of the principal scenes of action in game of thrones. the reality has little to do with the fiction. the eighteenth century estate was much too small for the series so it was digitally enlarged. but in the background you can see the the too much of words at the top. industry which is the green

screen on the green screen is where the magic happens so using the green screen the industry are able to project on that background whatever whatever backdrop they need so what they did was they took the tar they change that little bit and they change the shot from this source we have it here as we go on to the next light through this. area surrounding winterfell castle was in fact tully more forest like the computer and hans castles many spots are easily recognizable. such as the ultimate bridge over the river sion. this is where the di wolfe pops were found they played an important part in the later course of events.

the little puppies are now full grown northern in you with dogs and ready for visits from game of thrones funds. the famous coastal route causeway leads north of belfast and past several interesting sites. but you don't have to be a game of thrones found to enjoy the term along the coast. it includes locations like the headland the fair head. the big difference in shoreline of morelock bay. and balance or harbor. for england is the dark hedges avenue of beech trees. they appear in only one scene of game of thrones but long enough to make them a favorite terse destination. three

seasons the television fantasy saga is finally drawing to a close but the memorable scenes of game of thrones and the locations remain. the means game of thrones belfast in northern ireland will always be like for ever more for as long as the name of the show exists and i'm incredibly proud of. the northern irish person who's lived here all my life i'm incredibly proud that we have a different focus on northern ireland there's been a lot of negative focus on this country over the past but it's good to get a very very positive one and who knows maybe some day west of us will return to northern ireland a series of the game of thrones backstory is already in the planning stage. you can find more on game of chance on our in here to tell and if you contract member exactly what happened in seasons one says so. we have a fast paced summary which looks like this. man the i'm thrown is mine i rang

the bell rafi i'm king robert's brother and the rightful heir excuse me i stand in a spot after you and your older brother i'm the king now but i'm waiting but i have the red woman and she's going to kill you with a shadow demon out. well currently colliding here and bella breakdancers coming together with a classical piece of music called pictures at an exhibition it was written by russian composer not as. more than one hundred years ago the flying steps dancers have often fused classical and urban dense that sounds like a very interesting combination doesn't it we went along to dress rehearsal and the premiere of flying steps late production to find out more. in the new show called flying pictures the flying steps present day interpretation

of was those keys pictures at an exhibition. this fusion of duns and music is a spectacular and want to play production. it was incredible the atmosphere here in the hall it was just incredible. i was in everyone's happy we got good feedback we made it man. i think now we've arrived in international circles of fine arts and people can appreciate what we're doing bottom bassoon has been five years on this visual interpretation of the piano suite . russian composer mosul's he wrote the ten movements in eight hundred seventy four inspired by works by victor hartman many of the drawings and watercolors are now lost the flying steps bring them back to life but going to the bahamas are you sure bring in the individual subjects to life by staging and dancing for them following

the music splattered. all over interpretation shows how we experience them how we see this picture and turn it into a performance and bring it to life. and this was. the dance has been rehearsing for the premiere in berlin for four months they all see breakdowns obed's going as a way of life they were combines different styles of urban and classical dance. poppy i do popping off the so-called robot dance but you dance like a robot would you then they're starting with shapes like you'd see in the game tetris with different lines of game. and then there's finger tagging where you work a lot with your fingers and you know. i come from the classical direction classical ballet mixed with jazz modern and contemporary that's my dancing style and what's unique here is that we actually merge classical with urban styles in. the us

j.s. twins complement the tent had loads with the street us they are famous for their gargantuan moving sculptures their works are an integral part of the show at the hamburger bahnhof museum. everybody. really together. we find we find a way to be one somehow and it's great because difficult because the music dancing the role to become one thing it's very hard. jessica musicians have adapted was all ski's piece to urban dances particular sequences of movement. this of course if i would class people. daniel meant to be meek and his nando beatbox was a moment to look through these moments when the music pauses blared something has a way of fusing the orchestra with a beat boxing skills. so what is the custom of books. flying

peeps is have succeeded in blending different artistic styles and evokes harmoniously the audience at the berlin premiere was more than impressed by the show the different steps the flying steps have broken open all the categories. so many different styles from break dance to classical music ballet to beat box for us but it was an incredible evening i've never seen anything like it i really enjoyed it it's a mainstream lee impressive especially the giant figures bonce and fantastic i thought was really amazing. the following steps are among the world's best urban dance combos the show flying pictures certainly bears testimony to the house. he has his own signature dishes he is extremely creative and a master of his craft and that's why critics decided to want to whom i want or treat us he serves up his colon very delights and has a mentor restaurant in vienna and that makes it austria's perced and only priest

star restaurant so we headed for the nation's capital to find out what makes and mentor stand out from the rest. catalyze basket issues me to french cuisine combined with asian and austrian elements treefrog actually scallops parsley and sweet bread and the exclusive french near home pigeon breast are close to creations from one of my doors repertoire his remains restaurant amador has just earned its third michelin star making at austria's only three stars stablish mint. thought that was fantastic and. almost the whole team cried for joy that was pretty impressive and it was moving. the claim ships approach is always to use the very best ingredients dish is a staple item on his menu does this fish come from britney or where is it from and

it's sampled by the chef himself. globalism nowadays much of what you get is from our culture nothing against our culture it's good for sustainability but for the taste it's a very different story they're fed so they're relatively lazy they get fat in the taste is completely different. places great value on staying true to his direction and building his own profile instead of chasing trends. unlike many other chefs amador sticks with the tried and tested his mere how pigeon has been on the menu for years. imagine going to a rolling stones concert and they don't sing i can't get no satisfaction the classics are what people want. our guests come from around the world it's called the lord of the gods a bit. recently we didn't have a pigeon on the menu and one person said i came all the way from career and you don't have the pigeon it's important this is from. the four amador developed his

unmistakable signature and he tried out various directions he was encouraged to experiment when he met the star of molecular gastronomy veteran. or should never forget or it was in spain one thousand nine hundred six with that on our video. i was already a chef with one star in seventeen points in the going to your guide. i ate and then stood up and said i can't cook. for amador creativity and originality are very important here experiments a lot but not everything works out that's what motivates him to move and you can only be satisfied if you just do what you enjoy. that's why i like the kitchen and i like the restaurant. because we get feedback within seconds one minutes

because. you want to amador a german with spanish roots has brought his own distinct color mary style to austria but by no means has his journey come to an end. every country in every town has its own traditions to see out the winter and will come in the spring zurich in switzerland for example light a huge bonfire with a snowman on top packed full of fireworks but not just that man on horseback in historical costumes gallop around the ball fire until the snowmen explode so i guess you could say the good people of zorak start spring season with the big bang . once a year zurich burns the brook to drive out winter when this over three metre tall snow man figure made out of paper and cardboard explodes spring has officially

begun in zurich with a bang. a few hours earlier twenty six guilds are involved in organizing switzerland's biggest spring festival is excellent to everyone from the hotting and guild turns up wearing early nineteenth century costumes and uniforms that's when the guild was founded and some things haven't changed much since. seeing the stand up the guilty members are all male you know it's always been that way. but the women are invited once or twice a year and they have their own activities i get up to take the would be to discuss . the show they can play i know oddly enough they don't they don't mind the boys having their get togethers. and later on the boys will gallop around the fire on four hundred well trained horses the women are there to cheer them on.

but first the guilds take part in a procession through the city center some of them were founded in the fourteenth century at one time they oversaw entire professions. today they uphold tradition and social events then are folks group of writers leave the whole thing in guild before the fire is lit the horses have time for a breather. think if this is a full time together at this accident and said this is an experience tell us. at six o'clock sharp the wood is set ablaze the food is stuffed full of fireworks the faster they catch fire and go off the better the summer will be the right. the bonfire is an impressive show.

every guild takes three laps around the fire when huntington's turn comes nothing's left even though it took nearly eighteen minutes to explode so what will this summer be like a practice that i took was relatively late in exploding heads they impose it and that would mean a measurable more to the good some of the film but it isn't always right it busted time it took twenty minutes almost an eternity and the summer was really hot heis much too hot in fact. so i'm not that worried about it so much. for the guilds the evening has only just begun later on the festival halls will resound with moving speeches. the fire will burn late into the night hundreds of locals will use the embers to kick off the open air barbecue season in style. our report a magalie usually a shuttle flight because she only ever has two days for her trips to the most
