city where you from also from russia or voyeur your op you're at the other. because it's a landmark in hamburg and it's a place you have to visit if you're in hamburg and london combo is all this is to good as i heard that it's very difficult to get to get started so you just get in line and hope for the best and there was a similar to what was it a 6 pm will go to the box office and hope to get tickets so if you do any tricks to get tickets just luck. doesn't that's all that's so i'll give it a try i seem to be lucky. but if you big good luck the hamburg is not just a port city hamburg is also a music city composers such as your philip dealer money and your highness bombs used to work here and hamburg has also left its mark on rock and pop music history . and hamburg sang probably district the beatles gained important experience for their international career it all started in the early sixty's on the state's

office a legendary place that has made history. 91617 years after the end of world war 2 hamburg's rebel had been cleared away and its economy was flourishing. but the generation gap was huge young people were looking for alternatives and amusement. rock'n'roll was new and played an important role for teenagers could only listen to it on the radio and in a few cups. it was settled local big wig month later and bucks and way to fast fashion founded the stock club the name said it all. behind beyond almost else i'm good we started up something that reflected the mood that was simmering among young people. that's why we put posters up all over hamburg saying

the hard times are over and morning music has had its day and i managed to sign the beatles. when i say that i mean. we opened on april 13th 1962 with a big bang. and just because 2 to 5 months each of the beatles got $500.00 a week. i'll never forget how a kid from the port who might have been able to shout out some orders suddenly had to announce the beatles. already thank. you. i think the stock market starts 2 for the fab four's meteoric rise. they played a total of $79.00 gigs. that uses were ecstatic there was live

music to 6 am 7 days a week. thousands of people could fit into the club magically attracted by stars they'd only heard on radio. from fats domino to little richard. but the enjoyment had its dark side because home to a unique use protection squad that carefully scrutinized the sometimes under age visit his to the stock. sex drugs and rock'n'roll were still in the side of the police some classic dialogues took place. you know how to find this black. hole he is still one of the most famous districts of hamburg famous and notorious here you will find pubs and grandfathers a red light district and culture and all of it not far from the old.

colby even has a small museum where you can find out what has shaped the district. because pollie was originally a border region between the danish city of atlanta and they have the added city of hamburg residents here knew how to use this kind of free space dance halls and cheap entertainment half of the part of that poli since the 17th century same as a business. image of prostitution crime evolved over the years. that collins had stated something is in constant flux i'd say the red light district image which now plays a role in many tourists perceptions and in marketing strategy it's very much influenced by the 1970 s. and eighty's and stick with that he says definitely gotten. lots of clichés emerge then just like for example the gold chains mullet hairdos and so. on survivor to

nobody to pursue with these cliches they try to attract tourists by saying we have a red light district we have gangsters that might interest some people but only i think so. we have the some poly museum don't think of ourselves in that we try to present everything in the development of the district and we try to enable visitors to understand how certain myths were formed impish them to an arc and some are just myths and some are cliches and if she's to counter that the museum shows portraits of women who have shaped. but some didn't so what did they do to earn a place on the wall. and here we see susie rich she and her husband own susie show bar and i think it's the only table dancing establishment under female management. and i find that quite important. so it remains possible for these things to

developed nations and spaces where unusual concepts still have a chance and that's. why i'm a nucleus and. when you've been here concept of no i mean i'm constantly otherwise i think we should all recognize the value of a district that has experienced so much freedom and retained it over the centuries that it's special and the liberties we have are worth protecting. these and so it's . done thanks that sums it up nicely. we regularly visit spectators who show us the sights of their hometowns in today's media local thought we went to houston texas it's the 4th largest city in the united states and it bourse interesting architecture and graffiti art as well as a space center. how do you welcome houston my name is gonzo 247 i'm a graffiti street artist here in the city born and raised and i'm looking forward

to showing you my favorite parts of the city. so you might think you know houston usually when you think of it though you think cowboys horses and barbecue which we have but not all the times you think about feeding street art houston is a great time it's a great place and it's really open to the arts. so here we are right in the middle of downtown and you can see everything is bigger in texas we have the architecture we have the theater district we have everything you can eat the diversity is here this is our symphony texas.

now here we are downtown houston amongst the tower and skyscrapers tranquility park a nice a waste of green space for the everyday person to enjoy inspired by the 1st phrase spoken from the moon houston tranquility base here that eagle has landed. one of the things i love about tranquility park really the name says it all if you can listen around you hear the nice kind of coldness of the water it's very refreshing very soothing it's a really good place to come you have a hectic day downtown you can come here relaxed. when visiting houston another must see is space and houston since we are the space city. so as a kid i used to watch these things go up into space it's amazing for me to be here in houston space city and be able to walk inside an actual space shuttle. so this is what it's like to live inside

a shuttle check this out this is the sleeping bag where you a strap yourself in for a good night's rest. we even have the actual astronaut suit amazing. so after a long day in the city there's only one way to cool down and that's what a nice tall texan beer. well that was my day here in houston hope you guys had a good time hope you guys can call down next time you hear don't forget visit houston and so i lose.

pete elder therese they are a pretty inexpensive way to do some sightseeing in hamburg the ferries belong to the public transportation network. i'm on the way from design probably piers down the obit. everywhere there is something to see for example the museum harbor in uganda. the people of hamburg are very proud of the harbor and they show that every year around the 7th of may on that day in the year 1189 emperor bobber also is said to have issued a license for the port and that's a pretty good reason to celebrate say over 1000000 visitors every year.

even if the charter founding the port is a 13th century forgery people have been celebrating it since 1977 the birthday bash attracts locals and visitors to the elba for 3 days. notice and everyone's always in a good mood it's always relaxed and handed as always with seeing enough to shift it's great to climb onto the vessels and see how things work on the tall ships it does sort out for physical assyria i thought everything important the atmosphere water the sea shifts. the ports anniversary traditionally begins with the grand arrival parade with vessels ranging from motor boats to tall ships and all more than $300.00 ships come to the festival every year. but that will respect. well it stands on to land where

it's concerts on stages and vendors selling arts and crafts and food. shopping. among the festival's highlights is the traditional tugboat ballet with skipper's acting as choreographers. the ports origins may be veiled in mystery but the people of this hanseatic city make the most of it with maritime displays and celebrations every year. you can also take a dip in hamburg's river after years of pollution the water quality of the elder is clean enough to swim in bathing in the elbe it has

a long tradition is specially during the 19th century journalist and author helen has already written 2 books about it like many locals she's a fan of the river. what moves you to swim in the elba every day. fast didn't burst every day it's a great pleasure it's just wonderful. the elderlies at my doorstep i can go in it when i want to i can do what i want in the air almost everything under sensuous experience the water in the flowing streaming rising and falling water i enjoy it immensely but what should i keep in mind when getting into the water there are certainly a few dangers. you have to be able to swim extremely well beginners training is not enough. you should also be able to feel the river bed under your feet then you basically safe that way you can always scramble out of the water if you need to so

not a fun you shouldn't get too near the shipping channels you should spend when the water is rising because then it's coming in from the sea and at least feels cleaner than when it's ebbing and coming from the port not really of course never when drunk and not in a thunderstorm all the traditional swimming rules that apply to lakes also apply here would not be always with you here in the old but there are certainly other people to do you think this is a new trend to get. i hope the custom of swimming in the elder returns. since german reunification many sewage treatment plants have been built in eastern germany and the water has become much cleaner. for 20 or 30 years it was really. i think the idea of having nature at your doorstep on the outskirts of a city with a population of millions and being able to use it out should be revived and then more and more people can see how lovely. mention the merican this is it reaches in hamburg have lots of visitors and that weekends in the summer and during

school holidays there are many tourists. and most know that the water ebbs and flows and avoid lying too close to the edge when the water is rising as it makes so now about all of us are. already. and what do you wish for the future should be areas be developed more or do you have a concrete vision for how you see your city of hamburg and. from there yes i think it would be great to rethink been planning so that when something new is built in the time that it takes the elder into account says the river remains accessible though of course making sure the city remains protected as well. light side. should not to release it beginning as been made on the magellan terraces in the half in city district and now on this one polyp is. a resident good idea there are steps leading to the sometimes into the voice and that's great when it

works but it happens much too rarely. thanks so much. oh of course i have to try this now my 1st swim in the elbe it just the thing on such a beautiful summer day. now we leave the old and cross the atlantic because our weekly the mail takes us to mexico and guatemala we go from south korea has sent us his travel impressions it's a collage of adventures and dance scenes. that you want to. bring up.

before you. leave. and you bring up. will. not. let us. play out. that it like.
