knows how important it is to stay calm. get a run around and check everything if something doesn't work i go over and say what details need to be changed i'm never stressed on big projects because i trust my teen and money. today is the big day for natalia. in just a few alice flower time will begin at brussels city hall the exhibition will see the gothic building transformed into a floral paradise the juxtaposition of contemporary design in these grand historic rooms creates a unique work of art around 70 florists and volunteers from more than 13 countries like here this year to offer their own regional spin. like this japanese pull sled . and these woven palm leaves from indonesia.

jewelry and clothing can also be seen among the unusual creations. and this room traditionally used for weddings is decorated with thousands of roses and ok it's in classic white. the day before the event there's still not much to receive an italian and her team starts by building the supposed to stop. up on the list she's originally from bella reuss but head inspiration comes from her live home in brussels which is reflected in her choice of flowers. it is a good day post for me our kids mean luxury the globe are yours the glory also is a tropical flower one mil is a simple crop plants. so usually i'd never make a bouquet with these flowers and the reason i've chosen them for this exhibition is because i think brussels represents diversity comics the heat. this team from

beijing also once a flower has to be symbolic. head design a teen a new hopes to build bridges between china and the west as a team a duty zhang explains she's not only a local florist an artist also is a young person from the new generation so this generation in china really wants to really like to reach out and make friends with international people. the grand unveiling is about to commence the exhibition will run for 5 days and is expected to attract more than $15000.00 physicians. it's amazing pretty amazing it's so big she sews all this most of the student news i didn't know that thing so you just like you all to it it's me there's something new and surprising as we telling you it's really impressive into the cook and. the

tension has given way to tears of joy. all the hard work has paid off. now tell us a kind of and her team can now sit back enjoy the show and smell the roses. right you would think that border guards are just for boys the petrol lights will make you think again now these are women motorcyclists from all over the world who gather once a year for a big motorcycle festival held right here in germany from harley riders to b.m.w. paid for these women show that they have what it takes to ride a motorcycle and what about the guys well sorry mate. only the ladies are in the driver's seat for this event. the smell of gasoline hangs in the end there are cooled bikes by using plenty of horsepower and not

a man inside. the petrol let's festival everything is about to win and then being machines. around $400.00 men just like a levels from around the wills have come to take politan europe's biggest female motorcycle festival. it is. the best festival in all of the world and i go to a lot of festivals watch out i'm here for. it it's ok to meet so many. and i am also feels off to be here at the festival is being held on the sides of a former open can still mine claims for openness the city of the lion. located roughly a 2 hour motorcycle ride away from berlin the site boasts everything a bike a could want the race track and every nut and even a leg. but for the spine because there is no time to

relax. now given your role. at moto yoga the festival participants can work on their flexibility balance and mindful of all of which are important when riding a motorcycle. a strong tashan not a message no one is what matters most. months must be fit to do motocross or ride off road like i do you need to have good back and stomach muscles because you're constantly going up out of your seat and down again so you need to strengthen your back as well as your stomach your entire core has to be firm about them with but that's what it's all about in off road training these enjoy bikes on slim. than street models and the times have to transfer and basically you need to ride standing up on usual even for bikers with plenty of experience. but canadian yvonne ducks worth his while to venture into this new terrain the bikes are

completely different than what i'm used to so they're much higher but it's all a lot of balance and the way you move your hips and throw your weight so i mean that's it's a great practice which is headed by tina meier one of the very few female bankers to take part in the dead car running the famous off road in joran. petra nets she passes on her experience of tacking daunting terrain. is what slides of rounds the ground is a bit like a dance partner you don't know you get impulses and you pick them up on the bike and use them on the road you do everything to keep the times from sliding out but here it's let it slide its funds. among the festival highlights on the sprint races here the fastest riders compete against one another in various things according to the founders the engines.

needs 200 metres from start to finish one of the compared to the channel to cooper check she finished 2nd in this race but to her having fun comes 1st. so you're kind of outside time and space sort of like you're in a tunnel it gives me the jitters and i feel like i'm floating and. getting a cockpit launch the picture next festival in 2016. she hopes it will continue to strengthen the female community. for me there's a certain thing i really like the exchange with other women and we see things i saw i. so in my personal. perience you don't have to prove yourself to have sharp elbows. here in the head she lets people perceive you differently and accept you so. if you don't know something we can do something they'll help you right away

. even away from women you have a motorcycle license to join in on the fun. we've all been faced with the dilemma of what to do with boxes when they are empty well the french a visual artist olivier goes to it has an idea he create structures like this one here and he makes it a collective project while he. has created huge cardboard buildings in cities all over the world bringing people of all walks of life together in the name of art well we went to northern france so what is the latest contemporary installation. from cardboard boxes tape and lots of helping hands are all that only means for his monumental art this

is urban art of another kind of 14 cardboard buildings up to 27 meters tall and weighing one and a half tons each he's having a city built within a city on the waterfront in new after friends his largest cardboard creation to date does that make him nervous. i'm sure. we could build a lot more here without with the weather conditions actually make me more nervous than the construction itself. here let's remember. that was almost completely destroyed in a 2nd world war later french architect designed housing for around 60000 people a masterpiece of urban planning. drew inspiration from the world heritage site for his cardboard installation.

you need to do to give us fascinating work and a bit like being an architect. i have kids and as a boy i myself used to play with cardboard boxes which i think that you get your well you can be anything you want to a little kid a ship an airplane or whatever he said you know truth and. these monumental cardboard concepts would hardly be feasible without plenty of help from the people of. the buildings are made of some 300000 rolls of tape and 23000 boxes far fewer than bricks in the originals they take just one week of construction not much to build an entire city but it did require months of planning and precision drawings much like an architect with. the 46 year old artist's favorite piece is the tower.

this is a replica inspired by st joseph's church in l. ever the fear is now just to test the limits of the limits we're going to build it's about 26 meters 26 and a half almost 27 meters high can win votes that make. participatory art gets people involved. fabulous here in the open and nice weather it's extraordinary no. other she was like you get outside it's creation. everybody works together said the writer it's a chance for everyone to pitch in and help out. get it. the artist sees working and building together and the energy that is set free as an essential part of this art happenings now the buildings are almost done. with only a few meters to go a strong wind starts blowing with gusts of 60 kilometers an hour some of the

buildings start to sway. equal council vote. here it's attacking to do much business i mean it's too bad we can't get a foster home. but at the moment it's just too dangerous to have people working at the periphery. nature puts a premature end to the construction and in the morning dam the tower collapses. others fall victim to the wind. only 4 of the buildings came through the night intact the ruins of the others inspire the public to make a few spontaneous creations of their own. but oh yeah we've collected pieces from all over the place and now we've built this piece here it's hard. to pick. her board city stands for just 2 days. and then the big demolition operation begins the only piece not to be torn apart is this tower

it's carefully hoisted up and carried away as requested by the people of. the demolition is also a part of all the vehicles ted's concept the cardboard city is meant to be ephemeral. well that's it now it's over this is really the end of the project. it only takes a little while before the place. but it's fun to watch the people laughing shouting . and enjoying themselves. even with the inclement weather the happening was a complete success and cost is already planning his next cardboard city.

today if you want to tell something to your friend or neighbor who lives across the alps well you probably reach for your cell phone but back in the day and i'll porn was used to all different sound sequences they had different messages the out form was also used by shepherds to collect their cattle in the mountains while today it is considered a national symbol of switzerland at that country's biggest festival we find out why . switzerland prides itself on stunning mountain panorama breathtaking scenery and the national symbol that's music to the ears of many the out behind. thousands of album one fans flocked to dance in the canton of valis to pay homage to this instrument that's a whopping $3.00 and a half meters long. from belgium for all the flemish part i come from holland for

manchester in the u.k. good english. i come from germany from china haven and we really like alcohol music that's why we're here you know. there are around 4000 active alcohol in place in switzerland here and 150 musicians from around the globe have gathered for the country's largest alcohol and festival most of them over 50 but they are also young instrumentalists with a passion for the alpine horn. and then the trend seems to be moving towards younger people. perhaps they're trying to get out of the. main jazz chromatic pitches in. order. as much as possible. so this maybe his.

depending on the horn players can produce 12 to 16 different notes enough to perform contemporary pieces. the international group the alpine system is specializes in this kind of music. it's not possible to play everything of course but the style. is like if you imagine a trumpet without the. limits of possibilities for a while it was like really as i said before it was going to relay the folklore but now it's like making really a comeback. and i guess that no it's really cool again it's really trendy. we. originally shepherds use the point as a way to communicate with one another over long distances and not just in europe shepherdson asia also played similar instruments but there were both close to 500

years of history the alpine whom is being heard less and less these days no doubt is considered to be switzerland have this. almost everyone plays one including pet t.c.m. one of my mother is an icon player also she place with me in the group. i guess is just. i just started because she was playing its and i thought it was a cool instrument and. now here i am. on play is also of course need instruments to play in switzerland some 40 instrument make this specialize in crafting alpine homes once one of us saw is one of them it takes him 2 weeks to make an elk or but the wood from the red spruce must strive for 5 to 8 years before he starts working on it. she's a tree that grows in poor soil and one that grows very slowly due to the rocky

ground. as its veins are very constricted the tree grows quite slowly and that's the kind of what we look for we call it. is the same kind of wood used to make violins guitars and other musical instruments. like the men from the dark proudly uphold others swiss traditions to what's known as gas the flip. and the form with huge cowbells. highlights of the festival comes when the $150.00 alpine one players perform together that's bound to be the case again next year too when al gore and fans flock to southern switzerland for the 19th edition of the. this to. want to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to write. your romance. take the fly during the strike.

try to work with. lasers crazy joinery destroy. your romance john subscribe so you don't miss it. but i learned something of a planet in and of itself with people from all corners of the world living here well some have made it their permanent home opening galleries bars and restaurants we're featuring some of these entrepreneurs in our series planet berlin and today we meet up with venezuelan cook sharon shell she serves up a south american snack from her food truck here in the capital. i mean show comes from venezuela she said just by spending this hunger without response. it's.

got it but that's something that every business i don't know how to make it home nonunion make it since you are very very young and i think actually like maybe like a playground thing with wooden arcade like a plane would have so this is what you get when you are going for school and you're long. if you have a bus all the time at home. every sunday sharon service in the free market right next to the maui pumpkin prince not the. meal cake suffield with chicken being so beat that she's headed south to. the flea market attracts by limits and tourists alike it represents the bellingham sharon loves what i love about it and even if you have the feeling that you are in

a small town but at the same thing you are in a big city many things are happening but at the same time to have a very quiet life. that is that at the end of the day that the young people get it from everywhere and i love that. show was born in the venezuelan capital costs. she developed a passion for electronic music and started to d.j. . due to be unstable political situation she decided to leave her home and when she was 16 she went to mexico then to spain and made a name for herself as a d.j. a decade ago she came to belive and state i thought from syria in my life 5 times. and i really enjoyed very not like to jump in the. emptiness said you don't know what a. trip to look hakeem east in berlin is sharon shows away says.

she comes here to go for walks and relax. in the german capital she switched professions and has no desire to return to her former life as a teacher it's never easy when you take what you know is the most in life and you make it that's your job because of the way you pay your bills sometimes do. you know you are not feeling like you want to play and you have to do what you do do for sometimes you feel that you don't want to travel then you have to do it then you have to give your best at some point i wanted to just stop work in the nightlife. get in know what sharon said replace so now she also says that maybe at a kiosk in bed inspect the district but her stand at the mouth of the market has a special place in our heart because it is here tonight because before us for the day i also had an interaction but through music no i was concentrated playin with

that technique and what i love what music i'm going to play next and what's right. and here i got to interact more with people and it's amazing because i give people their fair. so this is for me also you know when sharon show them in its way in the can well imagine staying in bed linen for good and introducing many more people to this part of culture. looks worth giving a try and with that we were up on another show now don't forget to visit our web site or check us out on facebook to take part in our weekly drop from me and the rest of the crew here as always thanks for tuning in and i'll see you again next week.
