5:31 am
i'm in munich and i want to get up there. cold feature as the bell tower office city's oldest parish church is called it's known for its spectacular view but. 360 have said. that's kind of exhausting. it's worth the effort though. up here the whole city is spread out before you. bet the perfect view down there you can see in that square that's the town hall and right behind it the phone. munich is packed with cultural treasures that makes it a favorite destination for history and culture. from all over the world.
5:32 am
today i want to find out what music's got to offer for tourists who come here for education well what's on offer who uses these offers and where's the difference between an educational trip and a normal holiday well i'm looking for answers and you're coming along. well tag along with a group of americans and they tour munich. meet to colombians who sure surround their hometown. and we get a tour of mexico's yucatan peninsula in this week's your video. first off to get an idea of what an educational trip is i mean one of the munich tourist board cuts. from what am i getting learning adventures usually start here right.
5:33 am
yeah i did you can yes the standard ones do it's from here that munich involved this is actually the intersection of the 2 districts ending and. they were older than me and itself the cell to pass through here and salt was sold by the machines i left mary's column. this is where the monks lived which is where munich got its name and this was the main market square when it got to be too small the market moved to the victim. and this square survived because nobody was allowed to build on it about you know. right on machine plots you'll find the don't use it a traditional restaurant popular with tourists and locals alike it serves all kinds of the various specialties from puerto knuckles to veal sausage and if you're lucky musical a competent. we're
5:34 am
ordering what's known as a blood site pretty typical for the unit. but. what's here on the board itself in. the they've got a variety of bavarian specialties here in the cheese gone and we've got the all but stout specialty consisting of come on there and batter very rich but very tasty with red onions and we have various sausages here and that's pork lard with cracklings and dried onions this is an educational trip for me is sampling the local specialty stay part of that kind. of business class that's really not like callen their art is absolutely culture yes we have a lot of high culture orchestras 60 museums everything the heart desires in terms of classical and contemporary arts in a sequence and then we're going to the broad spectrum of everyday culture there's beer and beer gardens eating and drinking and spending time together. all this
5:35 am
makes it possible even for visitors to take part in the city's life and activities . want to climb the steps tighten and know what's the difference between a learning holiday and the regular one you don't have to yourself you know it's widening your horizons has a lot to do with getting to know a city's culture as if you were actually living here. you could learn how kings had their houses built on audience plots over the centuries for instance or contemplate the urban arts or watch people surf on the ice bath and other and the building simply discovering that munich is so much more than beer and tasty food the. things that munich is i can reduce to unfairly what it meant it was an awful. we're trying to open up and say hey man it has a lot to offer a whole range of culture and learning opportunity this. country but like the big young people too i don't want to reduce munich but i'd still like to just like have a life. just
5:36 am
a little but stuff. apparently educational trips to munich a very popular no matter what arts culture history or food but before we continue with our educational offerings here's a brief overview of what you should know about you nick. munich is the capital of the state of barea and lies in southern germany within sight of the alps. about one and a half 1000000 people live here and over 8000000 tourists passing through the city annually. munich is probably best known for the world's largest beer festival the october fest. the visitors to the city will find much more than just typical bavarian kaleri treats. there are also many sides to see.
5:37 am
for instance the frauenkirche here. the victor alley unmocked. and audience tops. munich also has an impressive array of art venues. over 60 museums and galleries vie for attention here. and i'm going to spend some time in one of those museums. because i want to learn about the art in munich. a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. and. i'm getting a private tour from arjen story and. she'll be revealing some of the secrets of the idea of who takes treasures. if not for anything in venice let's have a look at this world famous self-portrait of i but i still have my number one. it's
5:38 am
the self-portrait with fur trimmed robe why did we do a pinch himself in this poses the pores of the mind. the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and they were considered craftsman. and the way i do it i represented himself here was something completely new oh yes that's a he knew for a year 5200 that is this reprint ation of himself bears a resemblance to christ for whom until that point frankly perspectives like this have been reserved. to be could you take a picture of me with do you concede to get with the conceit to do. the next painting is by i wish i thought it depicts the famous battle of alexander officers in the year 333 b.c. . when to speak of an author just a quick look at the painting can you point out alexander to me and he is i think.
5:39 am
he's on that rick sure thing which is being pulled by 3 horses and if that guy birch about the other is and i'm guessing that's him. if you think so his rather prominent but interesting you that's actually daria's. i picked the loser of the battle. on the shuras me but it happens to a lot of museum visitors and. i'm doubtful it's hard to overlook the quote hanging down from the tablets and if you follow the cord straight down it will lead you to alexander sitting on a horse it's as if your eye is being directed to where you should look in the picture. next comes this huge painting the last judgment by peter. in the. business is it seems you know not now or in the 17th century the 30 years rule that this was the tallest work that determines the proportions here think
5:40 am
leites really the most magnetic self-image you hear in the future could take. i think. you go to imagine how many people pose in front of it all of the last judgment of all things. that's my cue. i'm not the only one learning something during my educational trip to munich so did a tour group from the us well they were not on their own but with gold or that's a nonprofit educational travel organization and we tag along. in the main. guy john langton in showing a group of american travelers one of munich's most popular attractions the famous glockenspiel on the old town hall. but this is a very particular group of 2
5:41 am
a. diversity of people who come people who are on the whole well educated reflection of what happens in the. knowledge of. people but also people who are inquiring the new people who want to see something new and perhaps hear a different perspective. this group of knowledge hungry americans is on a weeklong tour of munich and a very organized by road scholar at. their spending an entire day on the site in munich city center. this is your. rhodes scholar was founded with the intention of providing educational adventures for older age groups based on the idea of lifelong learning and it's a nonprofit organization so the revenues from these trips can fund other social projects and new programs as well.
5:42 am
the next stop is the lace for rocky. road scholars programs that the childless who appear to have a special interest in educational travel. they include not just tourists but also talks by profession. and other experts. he'll deny station office over 100000 adventures in 150 countries. the group moves on to munich spall and. the main thing is just to get the volume of the school the wanted to see what the court has. gone. but most of the participants appreciate the background knowledge and details they learn on the tele. i've done other guided tours in germany this was a bit more thorough he's got more background it's much better than sitting home reading about things just go places and it becomes interesting and touches you and
5:43 am
then you go back and. open my mind. for most of these 9 people seeing the dense was the highlight of the day. it's the former city pallets of the varian princes and kings the group visits only a few special rooms such as the antiquarian but the explanations are comprehensive . carolyn anderson has done a lot of educational travelling and in. 38 trips. yeah i like growth scholar. i've been many places by the fold after almost 8 hours the tour is nearing the end. but everyone in the group is still listening intently. and one should never underestimate travelers insurance and thirst for knowledge.
5:44 am
learning about the history of a place is often the focus of an educational trip in germany the nazi period in particular has left its mark on many cities in the country and that includes munich . i want to know more about that so i've decided to spend some time at the munich documentation center for the history of national socialism near the curate exploits . historian dirk he'll walk me through the exhibition in the hours munich important to the nazis and not an answer to this when. munich was the center of the national socialism this is where the nazi party was founded here i'm going from here we have a photo from 1903 a few years after the party was found that it was the party leader by that and it was here that he gained notoriety became more and more popular here he's speaking to 1800 people in munich. be
5:45 am
a whole. those beer halls which are still popular today offered hitler a forum and audience for his speeches. it's where he spoke to the masses and spread his racist and anti-semitic ideology. he didn't mention how does munich deal with all this today the fact that this is where it started and before. you do stuff in the meantime i mean it takes a very critical approach this house is financed by the city of munich but the fact that munich was the birthplace of a city that gave rise to the nazi party is a topic that wasn't talked about for a long time before. this documentation center has played a key role in breaking that silence it is situated on the very place where what was known as the brown house once stood that was the party headquarters in the 1930 s. an entire nazi administrative district was constructed in the area it at $68.00
5:46 am
buildings and $6000.00 workers. to allow me to fully understand the scale of things shows me other places in the area which are also connected to the nazis sorites next door is the former through the ball which housed hitler's office and those of his staff today it houses the university of music and performing arts munich. we continue along b. and i started to what is now the by the sheer lightness bug the varian state bank. and here i think it was when it doesn't fit with the finkelstein originally stood on the spot. that was a small palace for the picking smart family. and they don't tell the 933 it became the got stuck her head quarters. here the nazis planned the persecution of political opponents and jews. few steps away
5:47 am
a memorial commemorates the victims of national socialism. our final stop is the cruelly spots it was the sight of many nazi spectacles of parades. and this is where i say goodbye to defeat it. now it's time for our weekly b. may its lot as you know you can send us your travel videos we show him here and check in this time with the york has sent us a video of his educational trip to mexico he has visited the famous mayan ruins of chichen itza and i have to admit i really would have liked to come along.
5:48 am
length of. this.
5:49 am
man's heart history and culture i've already gotten to experience all those aspects of an education oriented holiday now i'd like to find out more about munich's traditions and one that centuries old here involve spear brewing it and drinking it well everybody was nice to have you here. brewing seminars are offered here regularly this one is being led by god of the munich brew mafia. first we hear what beer is made of water pipes malt and east.
5:50 am
it smells a bit rancid doesn't it. get off of ok now let's fill it up then we start grinding our models we've got 3 kilos here and we need a strong muscular guy. that's me right. here so this is easy. the ground malt is then steep in hot water a process known as smashing. the. so beer you actually i wouldn't say so. it's a bit hot. this is. after a while the mashing is done. then comes the lottery which means separating the liquid from the grain residue you we can give it a taste there's still no alcohol content at this point.
5:51 am
i think was it is this is the multi residue this. is the most i don't want or sweet . you know i didn't try it. about one of them don't understand all the sweetness i washed out. the next step would be to add hops to the liquid they give periods taste and then yeast is added for fermentation that makes beer an alcoholic beverage but it's a long process so we only learn the theory but it would be a shame to go home without wetting our whistles so the seminar ends with a tasting of the many different varieties of beer made by the munich group. we can place pretty soon the 1st all of the locals for local sewing us their hometowns and this time we visit but. to colombia. i'm going to be set. and i'm cloudy else that might mess with justice and together
5:52 am
we'd like to show you our city see hockey that is colombia's salt capital. always on the go to your hockey in the us most dollars go to us here at security train station it has more to us of course even coming about but that's but with a little most of it's far more exciting with that happy that the engine comes from the tunnel because it will take you to a peaceful spot with fresh air all of that listing to fight a pretty good future that. if there was an afterlife we're now at the plaza de los common arrows in the middle of the historical city center houses all about a block from the colonial style typical of the region would be because they let you know. if i'd like a better view and this is that it's
5:53 am
a drawing though i think in 1982 it was declared a national monument why don't you go to court you would know that. i did a lot of that the really past hour delay and if you didn't see i you'll find restaurants or bars and this reddish carol bellamy it's made of just sugar water lemon and a little food coloring maybe but it has a long tradition in our city if you are an integral many people like you but you don't have a local best buy only set as well as being made every week it's one of the 1st handmade products to be produced insecure out today there's even a song and a dance for it includes all pianists a proper concern is a widely. followed up when best book is but he doesn't want to call me up from now you can see why secure is clear i'm being sold cattle so we have a vast deposit here not that it's sold was mined as early as the 16th century and this statue represents the miners who worked in the mine. yeah without my with

5:55 am
back in munich the beer tasting is about to begin. before a moment on let's start with union a classic communiqué a lager in which the head. of the other kind of people as we can hold the beer up to the light when it was one has a relatively light colored some cloudiness to it. and the beer has a flower recent citrusy. what is constant when you drink it. i'm told the 1st sentence is delicately sweet. well of all the horns although there's not a lot of carbonation. a bit more reserved on the palate so we call it and often when you swallow that one is gone there's a better ness that reflect the models that senate does moscow but it was a. delicious travelling can be educational even for my taste buds. unfortunately my visit to munich is over but it was fun and as part of an
