vegan versions of several typical zonda. yes. the country's leaders explain what that is. actually it's a great big potato pancakes fried in the pan or roasted in the oven goodness and that's all it is this is i dressed it up a little i threw in leaking onions it's really a very traditional dish but insall and it's made with bacon and sometimes egg i leave that out and add some tofu. versions of saul and classics. instead of speaking can spend over the skeptics it seems so. soon ok what do we have here but things are. done playing potatoes and full bacon cream sauce on the spectrum sauce.

splendid building in mid left was originally in the abbey for the past 2 centuries its house the headquarters of phil. the company has been making ceramics since 748 some is displayed in the museum 15000 town painted art nouveau toilets cover the

walls of the museum cafe among the designer pieces is this washbasin by luigi from the 1970 s. . the mosaic floors of the infamous titanic were made in metal off. the factories turned all tableware for consumers. around fine china for monarchs and pope's. porcelain for met love is exported to $125.00 countries. manufacturing ceramics still goes on in silence today but mining is history what's left is a fascinating industrial landscape and some parts are even open to visitors the best known attraction is the 1st link to the largest fireworks in the country industrial monument and a unesco world heritage site. the

folk lincoln iron works its melted pig iron for over 100 years until 986. it's the only iron works from the boom time of the industrial age to be preserved completely intact tours give visitors a glimpse of working life from long ago. i think it's pretty cool because there's so much i am anxious and it's so huge. that such a big plant was so much technology and machinery. highlight is the blasting whole colossal machines generated the wind needed for blast furnace his. work at the furnace this was grueling especially in the extreme heat of the coking plant. over 17000 people toiled away here at one point. nowadays the

facility is ideally suited to arctic submissions. there are 6000 square meters of space to display all kinds of creative ideas every 2 years the urban art present street art from the world over. it's also the perfect setting to make a lot of noise. but since 2012 for one weekend in summer the electromagnetic music festival transforms the full klingon ironworks into one of germany's wildest rain venues it's been a hot this place is a listen it's a fabulous location the vibe is incredible it's really great that it's a place to be if you love techno. the ironworks may be shut down but its doors

almost never close. the romans recognize saul and special called long ago as excavations near the village of bach have shown archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman villa here it's been reconstructed on its ancient foundations the only one of its kind in the world i want to know more so i for arranged to take a tour. isn't here we are in the reception hall this is why guests were received or typical of these halls were the conference ceilings then we have the semi columns the plaster columns decorating the roof or down below are the frescoes in the pump a star you know we're not here we've been able to reconstruct an original most 8 floor. and. all the mosaic tiles found here are some 2000 years old

archaeologists believe the entire room was paved with them and. we move on to the heart of every roman villa the bass. they were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business is so. see it's. there isn't it this is the cold r.e.m. our hot bath or and this is the hot water basin. that's been going on garbage and it just imagine when the bars were in use you had an indoor climate comparable with a modern steam bath it was 35 degrees celsius in here with condensation dripping from the ceiling. or and behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden is hot water was let into the basin through this lion's head. the smoke from the fires directed through the under floor system into the house to warm

the rooms. when up was the warm and well i mean you see bath sandals which still look modern today and ancient flipflops know exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them most hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot for the fires weren't all that far away or so hot people found it necessary to protect their feet so they made these ancient flip flops. theoretically i could take a bath right here and now they are fully functional. another essential part of the roman lifestyle was of course good food up to 30 courses might be served at feasts . you were this is where the roman slaves the savages prepare the meals and as we can see everything here is functional can even see the sort on the walls we also hold

roman style cooking events here. so there what did the romans eat of yeah you are high society tossed pretty much everything in the part that had a heart beat start flamingo tongues have started all mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here and the excavations and. i'm trying to talk me out of the before i go on the classes lived on like i'm some grains of coked much like a result. it was very nutritious and filling. a roman feast something for a future visit. it's all right before we say goodbye i got a little surprise for you i just need a moment for price let's see. here yes cloudy is felix lucas i'm sure you can imagine that a stately house like this was the dream of many a century and all prefect all. blended plans to spend their retirement.

i hope you've enjoyed our tour and know a little more than when you arrived as well you can also. if you think you know it all or because it was my pleasure and see you back here soon at the villa. well we're leaving the romans and solid now and going to brazil meet the local fly there we're going to meet up with. and he's going to show us his hometown. they visit so welcome to south here in. a state in brazil. so professor my name's markel truly or a poser i'm a retired university professor and i'm going to show you the city starting with st francis of assisi church which is often displayed on postcards.

it's a catholic church built in the late 18th century based in part on designs by antonio francisco lisboa who was known as the little cripple because an illness had left him disabled and disfigured if you don't do is but that didn't. him from becoming the greatest sculptor of brazil's baroque. this is. the room of a massage out of a has a strong religious tradition there are chapels all over the city this one depicts a scene from the passion of christ these. it is 300 years old we knew it was founded in the early 18th century. but i'll go it was discovered in the region colonists and adventurers came pouring in. the facades in stately homes still were flooded the cities affluent past. its old center is

a protected historic site on the. so no one wants the 85000 people live here and the city lies about 200 kilometers from the state capitol belo horizonte going to the religious economy is based on the service sector followed by industry and agriculture you know. that there's one edge of the old town is the market with here you can buy handmade crafts and our traditional spirits. and other regional specialties feel. like you see those who are also sold here are the local sweets made from coconut. with. like your group we like to have them with me nice cheese and their food it's made from raw milk and sold all over brazil as a specialty item. and she just doesn't feel the

historic train station of south devon a is another key site that houses the railway museum. get them the famous money or smoking maria still runs visitors take it to the nearby city of kiev identies visit this is. this bus along the 12 kilometer route you can see the countryside of meanness guys where's less meadows and mountains in particular the shell jose mountains. that's what we've come to the end of our tour and our visit of challenge al del day i'd like to invite you to come to the city you're sure to be given a warm welcome to.

the final stop on my visit to saul and it's this sop polygon near zazai. this walk in sculpture was erected on top of a slack heap a hill made from waste material left over from mining. the polygon is a monument to the era of coal mining it's also meant as a symbol of how people here in salt land intend to approach the future. tourism is part of this future and i think that the small silent has great potential roman heritage industrial legacy rivers forests and then there's the proximity to our neighbors france and luxemburg and of course you mustn't forget the really good food here well on that note bye bye see you next time somewhere else in germany.
