mostly goodbye no story. with exclusive. must see concerning sports and culture to ensure a. place to be for curious minds. do it yourself networkers. subscribing don't miss out. you probably recognize this famous face it's mona lisa 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 add before easter a festival on the danish island of everything revolves around this delicacy. he's 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 asteroids 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. the 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 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 of being a success. happened working together since

2013 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 in the lead with a full so. the asterix comic already has so many male characters so it's a lot easier for us to develop female senators who suffer. so we live in a time when women act differently and the perception of women has changed but i

wouldn't say that we've gone feminist with asterix by that that just wouldn't work and that the. asterix and his power have to deal with a rebellious teenager it's a smart move for considering health popular asterix is with young people even read in french classes this one is peppered with references everyone will get the blacksmith's son for instance is called self it's sealed but in ruby without these new characters it would hardly be possible to breathe fresh life into the existing concept to have 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 with surprise events in the paris metro and a special edition of asterix stamps. sincere. people

no asterix unlike this character they automatically connect the comic books with something positive and familiar. we buy the was created in a bookshop 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. the crack writer illustrator team seem to have no shortage of ideas they've already worked out which way the next adventure is to go or both feel we have to be more more imaginative 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 keepers cabin these are little houses that were once used to monitor traffic on the canals now since that job is automated these days some of the cabins are now available for a unique overnight experience we travelled to amsterdam to test one out. bridge keepers cabins they're as much a part of amsterdam as road bikes and they come in every shape and size. the bridge keepers one side here raising and lowering the drawbridge is for ships then came centralised computer control and control stations were left empty. but now some have been open to overnight guests an hour opens the door nicole navia daughter ski

and all of a kite broke through the suites hotel website 15 form a bridge keepers cabins offer waterfront accommodation with an historical flat. it's done very cleverly on 3 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 am 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 arm 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. we call in to let's say buildings that were used for another profession we have to change them so we go in and we look at what the supposed potential. power of this house how can we add something to it how can we transform it into a place to stay. this campaign offers a kitchen and a bedroom with a panoramic view of the canal. the interior designers chosen to a century at 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 ok 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 were they drinking built in 1956 in the new objectivity style the lodgings of the houghton spoke are a bit more modern the clear lines and colors continue inside. among the furnishings is an original chair by the powerhouse pioneer at. 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 build one of 3 suites in a former harbor crane from 35 to 55 meters up in the air at the top guests

on 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 goma. 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 mollusks delicacy. not a freshie. the song 3 ironic it's really him all the minerals just explodes in your mouth and off the oyster i mean it was like if i had one meaning of all right i would be you know it doesn't you know european flash wasters i think it's it's like kids from say they are so close to nature it's so which and in a way. the rumor lies in the watching see an area of much flats in the north sea laid bare at ebb tide revealing plenty of oysters for everyone to pick while the 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 i love it it's my 1st time. frances salt water 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 mud flats as well like francisco france so here. we have a source that's coming from the run just place. just put the knife. between the 2. day with a knife to it. so it's really 2 it. it's

a very good idea too. because. so you get the test i'll get. a food retailer victoria sean describes fresh oysters as the ultimate taste experience depending on where they come from oysters differ and not only in appearance but in taste ranging from salty to subtle sweet and miles. to hard. to this 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 they get all the grit who we're going to find later. that the taste. garnishes the fresh oysters with. calvin and lettuce. other chefs pflum de

takes a good strong. place. join the race and destroy. your own. subscribe. remember the rubik's cube this little puzzle that was all the rage in the 1980s now and always took me a german ages to figure it out and i still can't really one side well this little cube is now experiencing something of a revival thanks in part to one artist in italy vonnie can tarty is not just a master at solving the rubik's cube he also uses it to create pieces of art now we met up with him to find out why this little toy is his material of choice.

hello my name is. great my portrayed by the news of russia and it is with excuse. giovani 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 stars share the images on social media when in him even more followers. share his 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 families 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's the rubik's cube in less than 10 seconds

even under water. we asked him to create a picture for europe 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. things 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 look like one of the corners of the cube i like to work on the design when it's still 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. 10 days depending on how difficult it is in the . lives in the town where he was born adriatic or 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 as. he's done a portrait of the town's most famous son opera composer. the publicity for the opera himself and the town. is very important for me.

outside of here for 4 years. during that experience. 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 rubik's cubes 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. to close to the portrait 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.

from the very 1st cube it took your barney 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 yeah. 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.

and it's a tough the moment you're totally focused on the moment you live in the here and now and you're investigating landscapes. went on your block or trains in zurich she attracts attention the tires are meant to simulate heavy sleds in snow it's the optimum training for hiring stream sport is that when with an oath i'm not a total sporting ace but i do have a solid basic fitness said that's what's important for expeditions being able to keep up a certain performance over a long time she didn't start mountaineering tell him she was 25 but in 3 years on your block had scaled the 7 summits the highest peaks on every continent and she's the youngest german woman to climb mount everest but she also got to know the sport's dangers and said almost any of my personally you saw somebody die on everest when you. and it makes you wonder what do i live for and how much risk am i

willing to take to me it's worth the risk that i might die that's a stab. in the summer of 2019 she ascended the world's 2nd highest peak k 2 without an oxygen mask. of luck and i would i like to discover and experience something new and go a little further than i did the last time and to see what else i can experience now on your blockers getting ready for her next experience 60 days in the frozen antarctic wasteland on her around. it's bad to find that quest i'm going to cross from the coast of antarctica 1400 kilometers to the south pole the starting point is berkner island and the route leads across the ice on the continental plate through mountain ranges and then across the polar plateau or till finally i arrive at the geographic south pole still. there are no supply dept i was there along the

way so 29 year old i'm here palca will have to carry everything she needs. she's meticulously selected have provisions. as it is on taxes i think you know all together this weighs 66 kilos and i loaded onto the sled in daily rations lots of freeze dried fair lots of nuts the kind of got so many calories per 100 grams and a high fat content lots of sweets powdered butter just to add more fat to everything i don't have a lot of protein powder along a spat here talks i'll be exerting myself every day and my muscles will have practically no time to recuperate. no woman has ever yet gone so far across antarctica on fort or only contact to the outside world will be via 2 satellite telephones powered by solar panels she did a trial run earlier in the year in greenland. doesn't matter then there are many

things on a radio if at a spot that i fall into a crevasse for example that would be a fatal scenario how do i then i'm afraid some critical piece of equipment might or a could become unusable or that i might have overestimated myself but at. one last practice session before she takes off to the antarctic. she feels well prepared for what is likely the most daring challenge was i like. i'm. azing and with that it is time to say goodbye dover to check out our website for this week's draw and a chance at winning an exclusive euro max watch as always thanks for tuning in oh say can stay.
