well this is going to have a culture that's instilled for did not stay. in 60 minutes. i know nothing about the germans because sometime down the times and nothing with the time and money think deep into the german culture do you. think that is grandma. that's all that good enough time rachel join me for me to get down to gulf coast. well you won't be seeing me spinning around the pole today but rather this

something else and it's a masculine school that demands strength insurance and it starts of carrying. games i know but i would go right after i don't need to apologize or. maybe a bit more uncomfortable with the topic. but i just say we do i really look like a stripper. at the international pole emotion festival in riga latvia the entries had to show a lot more than just their bodies every dance number tells the story it may be the dancers own life story and have nothing erotic about it.

dimitri sat on the jury he was glad to see so many performances by men. yes i did. like to see as many guys pole dancing as possible but that great. dimitri was born in a small town in russia now he lives with his wife and young son in neighboring ukraine. in a. 5 year old serafin as proud of his top as job. and he enjoys practicing together with hello. dimitri uses every free minute he can get to train in his own gym. his calendar is booked up these days he isn't a man not only as a performer but as a coach as well. he travels all over the world competing for and winning

international awards. like america but of the reason europe the most in my life everything revolves around the whole god's occasional. visit my just have to see it not just a study of vertically right off and when i start thinking about what i can do with the muslims should treat them better belly. back to riga. at the pole dancing festival dimitri makes a brief guest appearance his mates are clearcut confident acrobatics. as any downside from sweden tells a very different story full of vulnerability and sensuality. both to form is confront the audience the themes of masculinity and sexuality each in his own way. your play could scrape. i'm stronger than i could never

in a feminine way maybe with friends just for fun i did but i prefer a mask of this style i would like to take it in that direction. many people think it is only for gay man which i want to change. because he might say. that. anyone who is for the top has to know how to pull. dimitri polytope tells that aspiring hold on says. he'd like to see pole dancing become an expert someday yet and he intends to work to help make it one. now everyone deserves a break once in a while and no one has longer holidays than santa claus he's busy in december but what does father christmas to the remaining 11 months of the year well every summer

in denmark hundreds of santas congregate at the world santa claus congress is the perfect place for them to talk shop and get a dose of sunshine before they take to the skies with a sled full of presents. essenes kasey c. has come from over 4000 kilometers away to take part in this ritual. of christmas. the 41 year old comes from jerusalem to him it's an honor to participate in the annual footpath at bellevue beach in copenhagen and. it takes place during the world santa congress. the water is pretty cold but that doesn't put santa off. just being here is the main thing for cars to see. actually only the center in jerusalem in the holy land and it would be my pleasure

to meet all this that doesn't own the words that's why i come here especially it's different to have christmas in july and i bring what i have more experience to bring back to the truth through the holiday. back in jerusalem essenes has his very own santas house it's visited by some 13000 children a year. this santa doesn't bring presents with a reindeer driven sleigh but by camel. the world sent to congress is held in an amusement park so there's plenty of opportunities to enjoy other types of rides. there are also contests that put santa skills to the test. it's christmas in july. because they are very busy in christmas time. that's why they meet in summer

because reeling christmas also goes on the order of very busy like me i'm busy all the same been generally i can come travel around the word that's why i come here and your life. around. $140.00 santas and elves from around the world are attending the event. the world santa claus congress took place for the 1st time in 1957. this is the 2nd time he said nice is taking part. i like of the congress is the parade to pocket the world's oldest amusement park just outside copenhagen. the crowds love the spectacle and can chat with the sound . of. essenes and his colleagues also have a chance to get to know each other and talk about their work. stay in highbury goes in is one of the organizers. he enjoys bringing together santas with different cultural backgrounds. would have something that. comes with

a costume that doesn't quite look like a danish santa but which reflects their the way they hold christmas in their country so i think it helps to communicate that christmas while it's something we share all over the world is still. a cultural thing as well it. isa nice cause the sea is a christian in a country where judaism is the most common religion so for him the world center congress is a place to meet kindred spirits. but most of us are friends and we see that they visit us. in jerusalem some of them being into thurman that's why i come here to make more friends to bring them back to my country we are a center permanent that is what christmas is all about family fun and spreading joy and happiness. well from copenhagen we travel to the capital of fronts this

is the most famous symbol of paris the eiffel tower every year it attracts around $70000000.00 visitors and for many it's a dream to one day be this close to the real thing but then again there are lots of people who wake up to a view of it every day and it's those provisions that are of special interest to the photographer just for what. it's really very sad you feel that you have the eiffel tower front of you and to see it every night every morning it was important for me when we chose this up but but it was i had to see it that is that was. just to watch as a photographer from london he wanted to know how the iconic landmark is viewed by the city's residents and visitors people lucky enough to live with

a view of including. who lives in the 16th of the small with her husband just to watch research eventually turned into a book project called to i felt a collection of pictures showing the tower from the homes of priests and residents . this. is so magnetic and it just says that i have to use this somehow i have to kind of use this tower to tell a story about art. and that's how i was taught it. since 2040 jasper has visited 40 homes from a luxury apartment on the sand to student takes on the city outskirts what they all share is a view of the eiffel tower. very interesting to find out how people volunteered to. go she described up with this view and the parents they were at night they leave the curtains open there isn't

any night light you know and she has this amazing relationship with the tower and then when they tell her stories or the stories they kind of a lot of them involve the tower you know so they play they play with god she has this really. emotional bond that. some people are prepared to put up with a lot. for the sake of you jim some way and his partner moved into an apartment that didn't even have a kitchen. they didn't mind the inconvenience because the skyline outside the window was so spectacular. only along those chairs. when we 1st walked into the room and saw the view of the eiffel tower we were really astonished crees we hadn't expected it we immediately said where do we sign we knew we had to take the apartments over over it is.

it's a view they never get tired of even though they see it every day. as we sit down have a drink and a chat and suddenly one of us will say oh it's never looked like this before the light color and we get out our smartphones and take a picture to post on instagram so it's. just a white feels the same way even though he's been taking these pictures for 5 years he says it doesn't get boring he might be a londoner but the eiffel tower has a special place in his heart and maybe he is a little bit envious to have a fairy tale in my view and. yeah i would have liked. something that like the spirit every day and you see this is great. for more than.
