was a day off everyone on board could feel the tension when you went out to catch aaron and this is no longer the case but that's our used to be. these days it's all about keeping up traditions even though the herring comes from scandinavia the dutch still love it he'd be even better than last years and herring is not just for the common folk it's also for the royals past and present from queen bad tricks to king willem alexander and queen maxima as. it's always been the tradition that the best goes to the royals not to be mistaken at the 1st the best barrel. the herring also known as muchas is marinated in brine for several hours before being fill a need the young has been. pairing fish for over 40 years the new herring is traditionally served on

a piece of paper with some onion. at the. cellar and so i have to go with him for greenery still there so we're. going to. work here. all kinds of fish are popular in the netherlands but herring is the absolute favorite loretta has the best team tries to come up with some new variations on the same theme salty shooter. hollandaise or simply caring rap. but not really really great reactions actually yet people really love it and also people that don't eat every day like they don't like people that don't really like to eat herring really like these advertisers 150000 people come to saving every year for a flag the biggest celebration of herring in the world. from

delicious to the life of italy has a new set of 3 tenors p. out about only ignites shadow and gianluca now these 3 have made a world career under the name you have all of their international breakthrough came in 2015 at the euro vision song contest well this year they are celebrating their 10th anniversary as a trio and they've chosen a very special place for their birthday party. nope there. is not so on. at. best ballots packed with feeling. bel canto which means beautiful singing anytime. and they've brought their songs to the narrow streets of much one of europe's capitals of culture for $29.00 t.

the musicians specifically chose much better to celebrate their 10 year anniversary . go. to seeing our music concert to show our beautiful places. and this is the biggest of all because we are very drowsy and to show our beautiful places all by. our great idea but tough to put into practice they had to bring a lot of heavy equipment to the city. for tierra is famous for its prehistoric caves. and the musicians find the backdrop spectacular. i had when i played there it is beautiful he said and you can see the little years

shooting being to places like this also meant that i have to say that they still made use of so this thread beauty of what all of the wall feel being crossed about 20 years ago no one knows this beautiful face and that you can see in the streets walking japanese people all over america and sent people from all over the world. years ago nobody knew who to vote. no uther but they've made a name for themselves lots of generals have sung pop before but never to be attract such young audiences nor were they ever as young themselves. it's unusual to see that is a tragedy for the 5 years old seeing operating because. people of our age used the same completely different kind of music like or.

streaming songs that we are doing something different to bring to the generation to the people. and there weren't enough seats for all those who would have liked to attend the open air concert in march but you boardroom are already preparing for their next world tour. and. i can also thing like that as you will soon see now berlin is firmly established itself as a top european destination but how would you spend a perfect weekend here well leave it to me to give you the best travel tips for my latest travel adventure i stayed close to home to explore berlin's hotspots and as i said before i even took to the stage for you here's

a closer look. were line is a treasure trove when it comes to culture history and of course entertainment and since i've called berlin home for over 13 years follow me for the best tips on how to enjoy the city my tour begins at a true berlin landmark the brandenburg gate it was built in the late 18th century as a symbol of peace during the cold war it stood in the middle of a divided city today it's a popular tourist attraction represents berlin's peaceful reunification berlin has many must sees including the government quarter with the reichstag and the chancellor potsdamer platz and checkpoint charlie one of the former border crossings between east and west berlin and almost unnoticeable line marks where the wall once stood day most people walk over this and don't even realize that this

giant barrier once through here i embark on a journey back in time to when the wall once stood this is an installation by an artist an architect he out of our as easy it shows what a typical day in a divider berlin back in the 1980 s. might have been like. her spokesman carsten gray but explains to me how the panorama came about. so we asked to look into the profit photographs and they give as many many which we use and also we're going to all the libraries institutions we spoke with and we've got a lot of things and it's all to put together in one huge it looks as if it were made from many many many different items the wall panorama is my culture tip for berlin. next to the longest remaining section of the berlin wall now called the east side gallery the eastern side was painted by an artist from all over the world

in 1900. socialist fraternal kiss is the most famous painting here from here it's just a stone's throw to the historic. ambush by a river. i love live music so this evening i'm going to see david hans and franz at one of berlin's premier and jazz clubs the band even invites me to sing along. we're going to we're going to tears. i'm not afraid but i don't think she should be here for. so many let's start with this. the start of the was. ok here we go. don't you worry but.

i might feel like diana ross but my singing skills leave much to be desired still i had a good time. i. think to my perfect weekend begins with a victory tour of sorts driving past bellevue castle and head towards the famous course for some time boulevard where the symbolic kaiser vilhelm memorial church is located and at berlin's oldest flea market where there are thousands of small treasures to be had. i find something i like but vendor. drives a hard bargain finally i prevail and get my little green vase for 5 year rose. but that's too noisy but i give you darn north. i give you 2. from antiques to kitschy souvenirs there is something for everyone here the treasure hunt and the flea market is my shopping tip. on the weekends many

berliners are drawn to the water and the man is a is one of the many popular lakes surrounding berlin a short ferry ride takes you to the fowl an insult or peacock island former garden director michel zine learns one of the island's 40 residents he gives me a tour of the park in the small palace the king frederick william the 2nd had built in the 18th century for his mistress mr zeigler knows all about why peacocks are here. on the island it was called rabbit island because the great elector or raised rabbits here for the court and when the king who was known for his love affairs took over there are when he couldn't be called rabbit island so the peacock fraud here and a year later and 794 it became dark island he stood to take island is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city and it's my tip for a great side trip. and finally i round off my tour with another berlin must a trip up the iconic television tower it stands 368 meters tall and has

a revolving restaurant at the top steve martin yes or ish knows the t.v. tower well and explains some of the features here including a color marries a provocative berlin curry forest but this time served with a champagne. or should you champagne the slight spiciness of the curry in a socialist city and the potato salad cut off it's great together you have to experience that. ok if he says so the crew forest is quite tasty and it's also my calling. and that wraps up my perfect weekend in the city i now call home. to the girl back. good luck story. with exclusive. must see concerning our culture to.

a compromise. with the 2 well i was there but for the church wedding was mainly for families not so much for selves. was in the 1st superman so to be honest the triggered some positive emotions even if my interpretation of things that would be different than what we heard of the church. during the centuries old tradition the bridal couple are crowned the best man or a cone bato exchanges the crowns on their heads 3 times to symbolize jesus is crown of thorns after the crowning the couple drank wine from a common cup to show that from now on they are to share everything in good times and bad and to sweeten their future life there is chocolate. what after sport. the ceremony takes close to an hour

action holding razor steady. so. why do they do the say they know what is the meaning of this this. morning. now a victor can go and fetch his bride the flag goes along it's traditional for bachelors to ask the parents of the future bride for her hand in marriage if they agree the flag is hoisted on to their roof but today's celebrations are more about fun than ritual the door waves his flag proudly even as he eats some magical bread. what are they doing there. it's a welcoming from the room mother couldn't believe what couple and he's giving them the bread and see what income fell out because they need to be able to. even leave part of moments in that last penny so i think i have
