welcome to the book is the getting here going to be we're going to talk about some . countries that's a little. slow you don't want. to be. you probably recognize this famous face it's own at least of course but do you know how she was created here will find out later on in the show. hello and welcome to another fun filled edition of your own max here's a look at what else we've got coming up. the comic book asterix has been delighting

fans worldwide for 60 years now there's a new volume. and before easter a festival on the danish island of limerick everything revolves around this delicacy. is one of the most beloved comic figures in the world even at the age of 60 i am talking about the gaulish warrior asterix a french national hero well this year marks an important anniversary and there is certainly lots to celebrate since $959.00 asterix has been translated into more than $100.00 languages and has also made it to the silver screen no less than 14 times now fans all over the world are gearing up for a new set of adventures. asterix is celebrating his 60th birthday with a brand new adventure the fans can hardly wait. to creators are once again. and. it's their 4th book they're the successors of the asterix

originators. and. asterix is not a typical hero he's no superman but more a caricature when you look at him you can't really take him seriously. if. the little guy all uses his brains and bravery against the romans brawn he wins every time asterix is a modern version of david and goliath with humor his fame has spread far beyond france over 380000000 copies have been sold worldwide the last edition sold 5000000 in 2 years alone. to new authors who could put up with each other and for us are really wasn't easy at 1st. we were lucky all 3 editions have been a success. and working together since

2030 but. daughter and i. still have the last word. first they send me a summary and then the new chapters one by one if i get the feeling that the ideas are moving too far away from the original concept i let them know on the other hand they have to have a certain freedom. either way to original idea is very present you know. the current edition asterix and the chieftains daughter speaks to a new generation the stories built around the female character named. the asterix comic already has many male characters so it's a lot easier for us to develop female characters will produce a foot or. so we live in a time when women act differently and the perception of women has changed into

a new but i wouldn't say that we've gone feminist with asterix he said but it just wouldn't work that the. pastor rick sent his power have to deal with a rebellious teenager it's a smart move considering how popular asterix is with young people even read in french classes this one is covered with references everyone will get a blacksmith's son for instance is called self thinks the seal napoleon will be without these new characters it would hardly be possible to breathe fresh life into the existing concept. for its movie for. the reader should never feel were making a copy then all would be lost the concept has to recall the original but within this framework everything has to be new and different. france is going all out to celebrate this 60th birthday surprise events in the paris metro and a special edition of asterix stamps. to see several people

know asterix on like this character they automatically connect the comic books with something positive and familiar. we buy the was created in a book shop i overheard a mother tell her son you're not getting anything he disappeared and came back with an asterisk on it his mother said well all right you can't say no to a national treasure but he was. there cracking writer illustrator team seem to have no shortage of ideas they've already worked out which way the next adventure is to go. both feel we have to be more more imaginative it's just. in the next edition i want asterix to take an ironic look at himself. to be able to really laugh at himself but to do that he's got to be the center of the story. but 1st we'll have to see how asterix fans receive the latest volume.

next up we are headed to amsterdam now if you're looking for a hotel that is literally off the beaten path then how about a bridge keep 1st cabin these are little houses that were once used to monitor traffic on the canals now since bad job is automated these days some of the cabins are now available for a unique overnight experience we traveled to amsterdam to test one out. bridge keepers cabins they're as much a part of amsterdam as roadster bikes and they come in every shape and size. the bridge keepers one side here raising and lowering the drawbridge is for ships then games centralized computer control and control stations will lead them to. but now some have been open to overnight guests and our opens the door nicole navy i don't

ski and all of a kite books through the suites hotel website 15 former british keepers cabins offer waterfront accommodation with an historical flat. so it's done very cleverly untreated floors with 12 square metres each a fabulous solution. and the view you can look down on the city from all sides it's fun and very comfy and. the 3 floors have space for a bed a bathroom and a dining alcove. the bridge keepers worked here till 2009 raising the new i'm still book the occupation existed in amsterdam for over a century. the cabins were built in various styles. from the amsterdam school. to structuralism now they're protected as historical sites the army style salutes laos built in $1673.00 can only be reached by boat

rather than raise and lower bridges it collected fees from passing ships. suzanna oxen are is a co-founder and creative director of suites hotel 28 of the cabins will have been converted by 2021. because. let's say buildings that were used for another profession we have to change them so we go in and we look at what is the pope potential. power of this house how can we add something to it how can we turns format into a place to stay. this cabin offers a kitchen and a bedroom with a panoramic view of the canal. the interior designers chosen to century the 17th century architecture. we tried to tell the story of this house by by using the callers from their right periods by opening up the attic to

show what it actually was like but also to put in some things like this can that was used to drink beer and wine in the 17th century to show our guests like we're actually you know what was this period like how were people eating how we're drinking built in 1956 in a new objectivity style the lodgings of the halter spoke are a bit more modern the clear lines and colors continue inside. among the furnishings is an original chair by the powerhouse pioneer. the bridge keepers cabins are just one example of how all kinds of buildings in amsterdam have been converted to hotels another is the far older crane hotel in the north of the city the guests can be one of 3 suites in a former harbor crane from 35 to 55 meters up in the air at the top

ganske and so can a jacuzzi while enjoying the view about mr dam. and groups of up to 12 guests can board for all your honner overnight in good weather the crew on fly over sails and put out to sea. to dam offers any number of ways to live on or near the water. born to go on the vietnam ski and all of a clegg. it was a novelty to spend the night in the tiny bridge keeper's cabin. it's a great idea but you have to be prepared to play live tetris here and there because the space is very limited but for a couple of days and nights it's lovely. they may be small but the bridge keepers cabins offer a unique way to experience sounds to down. them with 360 degree view.

point adorable accommodation all right staying on the water the oyster has a reputation of being an expensive delicacy usually enjoyed with a glass of champagne but along denmark's north sea coast when the tides are low there is a nice to be had for free on the beach the season is short so or is for lovers have to act quickly and they did so with a 3 day festival on the danish island over. it's boisterous season all across northern europe including denmark chefs tormes and oyster fans from the world over gather for rumor island oyster festival.

it's a celebration of the monist delicacy. and how the french shape. the song 3 to iraq it's really him all the minerals just explodes in your mouth i love the oyster i mean it was like if i had one meaning before i die i would be you know it doesn't you know european flash wasters i think it's there it's like a kiss from say they are so close to nature it's so which and you know way. through their lives in the white and see an area of mud flats in the north sea laid bare at ebb tide revealing plenty of oysters for everyone to pick while delicacy fetches high prices all over the world on oyster safaris they're free for the gathering. i think it's a fascination of being in the middle of nature and eating something that is. so

fresh i mean fresher than anything else and you eat them from the beach but this is lovely and i love it it's my 1st time. frances saltwater and then i think it's like. oily part they're fresh you have to. of course the chefs at the oyster festival collect their own from the mudflats as well like francisco or france so here. we have a source that's coming from the run just place. just put the knife. between the 2. and just play with a knife to cut it. so.

it's a very good idea too. because. so you get the test although it. specialty food retailer victoria sean describes fresh oysters as the ultimate taste experience depending on where they come from oysters differ not only in appearance but in taste ranging from salty to subtle sweet and miles. you have millions of. you have with with one of us there one of the one marks the oysters are getting painted fed from those. who were in the sea so that's where they get the food that's where the get all the grit we're going to find later in this the taste. garnishes the fresh oysters with cucumber regu callup and lettuce. other chefs plum they always toure's with thinly sliced pork belly

excuse. me can target puts over 700 cubes and as much as 2 hours into each of his portraits he doesn't put in his glue either the frame holds the cubes in place or the image. falls to pieces as soon as it's completed he's got nearly 350000 followers on instagram he generally makes portraits of famous figures some of the star share the images on social media when in him even more followers. shares fascination with the cubes. when people look at your solving a cube in 10 seconds they think of you as an alien someone from another planet. with the artwork but it's something more fascinating. giovani can target you started out by setting records he set an impressive 60 italian records 9 european ones and 3 world records he saw the rubik's cube in less than 10 seconds even under

water. we asked him to create a picture for your own max he chose a woman whose face everyone knows mona lisa by leonardo da vinci. the challenge here is not to solve the rubik's cube as fast as he can but to resolve the image into pixels on the computer. how he does it is his secret. he only reveals enough to give you an idea. one of the. thing that i do is actually work with the picture when he's still in black and white the reason is that i know. from white to black would look like one of the corners of the cube i like to work on the design when it's did on these 4. because i can keep it a little bit more close to the original into the. hardly anyone

notices that one particular color is always missing. i actually don't use the green because it doesn't look good to get it without a coat it's only 5 colors to create an image and so the hardest part for me is create that design which can take up to week or 10 days depending on how these people who is in. giovani can tarty lives in the town where he was born adriatic so . he's able to live from the start he's even under contract with the new york city gallery that sells his works to collectors around the world for 5 figure sums. but he sees no need to leave because. he's done a portrait of the town's most famous son composer. good publicity for the opera himself and the town. is very.

outside of here for 4 years. during that experience i love i don't. like my road. friends. my family of course. and anyone from here. back to the mona lisa once again he uses over $700.00 routes you construct the portrait line by line taking short breaks now and then that's important because it's easy to make a mistake but extremely difficult to fix it later on. too close to the portrait of president of allow you to see everything that is going on . i need to make sure that there are no mistakes because. it's impossible to change it. from the very 1st cue it took chobani can tarty only

about 90 minutes to complete our mona lisa. of course the very last book is always satisfying. i love it i think it's great that. the 500 year old painting as a 5 color mosaic and the riddle of the rubik's cube portrait is concealed with a mysterious smile. extreme athletes are all about pushing their limits and german mountain climber. does just that she discovered her passion for mountaineering on a trip to south america just a few years ago and after that the sky was the limit since then she's completed 12 expeditions in just 4 years and she was the youngest german woman to climb mount everest we hear from her now about what it takes to go to such extremes.
