1st time. so we got to see the famous beer festival from a new perspective. i in the last 2 years of, of fitful cancer new for the for when i think it's here, it's back without an equal with one fact. the reason oktoberfest starts in september and not in october. it's because of weather. they moved it earlier in september so they can have good weather for looking at around here. it feels flag next time they just start in august, which that wow, looks crazy. so we're done with there is no mandatory discord, photo. however, locals, like reading tradition above 80, and do the festival truck strap 1st to the traditional rest of the region. men

where lederhosen and a bavarian trapped and shirt was checkered past. i've never bought anything like this before because this lederhosen is 2nd hand. i go to the 2nd hand, then you can see that i'm waiting on my shirt and set off a check of short notice. the year is one of the most important elements of october. it is after all of the festival. the big tense are the highlights of october 1st and this is where all the action from drinking live music, dancing and singing, to be so delicious food. there are around 17 large tents and $21.00 smaller each has its own unique design color scheme and personality. the atmosphere inside each one therefore differs as well. and combined all these 10 can accommodate, at, on 100 calls and get the drink inside of one later. and the

glass way is like $1.00 killer in total. i'm holding important to you here, but imagine those later they are like 10 different classes in one go. there's a lot of food options here and my personal favorite is that kids ish better. that's also a vegetarian dish dish. the dish made out of a bus or dumplings and cheese often compared to mac and cheese vegetarian, just double check and mention not to add any bacon bids to the they're really very eco friendly here because even this plated that ah, ah, regarding sleeping gamma is one of my favorite, it's full of lum inside and there's probably seeds. and when you choose

the day would be incomplete without taking a look at the rights and the attract the ah, my god. with me, i mean the voice, the largest, whatever. it's called the olympia looping, and there's 5 different looks in there in general. so there's a different right here at the october 1st. so there's a lot to do for me. one traveler to appear. if you're visiting with children, if you can, a way to dis guns and food rights and performances every tuesday until 7 pm. these

are the family days of october. make sure you also carry cash as it's unlikely that stalls are pin, select credit or debit card. ah, so if it goes on to the card, hope the with well, that got me in the mood to celebrate. and if you want to see more of the octoberfest festivities than just go to our facebook page, here is more of what you will find there. more europe's rich culture on facebook, with discovery stunning landscape, enjoy art and fine cuisine with euro mac bringing you a wealth of events,

my is through martino. i work here in the salt blasted majorca as the saline ero in, in my yoga. i also live here in my yorker. i love my work. you connect me to nature and this process has been around for hundreds of years. he hasn't rock, was they off the road on the handle? the, on the sandy narrows are sold farmers and prepped, it's a very traditional craft harvesting salt lakes. this is the exclusive name given to the top layer of sea salt, which crystallizes into fine. flynn was on the surface of the water, nestled upon the floor. the sound must be kathy removed, with a net. the poorest held a string is so special because we are now to wear a bark. ah, the water here is so clear, there put his eyes. no, not you pure. the salt lake sal located in the nature reserve of around 3800 tacked up around 160 different good species live. here, there are even flamingoes. the sea war to here is considered particularly pure,

which directly affects the quality of the sea, salt and things mass has been working as a saline ero since 2016 and regularly checks the locks in the salt marshes. what we though, keep in touch with nature is we don't add anything and we don't take away anything . they say that a little bit that the, that the basics. now we put the water from, from the sea, the water from the sea, it operates, and the salt stays in the marshlands. so at the same time we gave in these area a salty, based on the births actually the birth like this, the, the state of the sea water is pumped into the plant at the beach of s drink and runs through a panel off of about 3 kilometers and reaches the pool, this root serves as a natural purification process. in the basins, the sun and the wind take care of the evaporation in a natural way. even the ancient romans found these to be the ideal natural

conditions for extracting sea salt. we have a cell phone, i am human consummation and then sold 40. so 20 industry, carlos, this is the, the basic. so the most clean, this is more team on the use for human limitations on this is more for an industry the most expensive sold of the plant. the florida south is kathy sorted by hand and by the sullen arrows and freed from impurities. it is packaged without additives and is popular with tourists and shifts alike. top shafts from all over the world order the noble salt from laura calvo, but florida, se strength also provides the right seasoning for very simple dishes such as the typical mule can pan volley or bread with florida salus. thank you that. when of this, all it is, is the soul of my yo guy and he's there white gold of course. like in the roman

dimes. it say are very particular on a specific on bussey. she only needs he's ready the fed and do the goblins. he said that everybody knows a product of nature from the coast of me. you will come in each flake of salt, from strength. you can taste the c traveling through europe by car is a dream for many tourists. but with rising energy cause it's out of reach for psalms. however, thanks to the growing number of electric vehicles available. the adventurous types now have some cheaper and more environmentally friendly options. a couple of american youtube ers invited us along on their trip from germany to italy in an e van. but they had to plan out their route quite carefully. ah,

my name is eric l no. and we are going on the electric camper band road trip through year. we have a road trip in our travels mostly in the us, and almost always with big gas guzzling vehicle. but this time we're doing things a little bit differently since we're in an electric camper being that means no gas required, you know, but it only gets just over 300 kilometers for a full charge. so that means we're gonna have to be a little bit more strategic with when and how we reach our yet. it's going to be super important because we are planning to go around 2000 kilometers here, starting up here in germany. they will be going to austria, northern italy all the way down to the coast, and then eventually making their way back here in our challenge is to discover as much as humanly possible, while also being a little bit more ego conscious than we would be on our typical road trip, so that's going to be no gas, no disposable cuts, and really just reducing our weights as much as we can. we may fail at this goal,

but we are going to do our best. all right, in that time we get this road trip officially underway. we are heading about 100 kilometers south germany. a guys, we've stumbled on the cutest little germantown that were driving through. they want to take a stab or pronouncing it garbage. part partic, gurkin, yeah, garments part of kirk and that's the one. but it's pretty incredible. it is super charming and fitting at the base of all these mountain clouds or what's been around here. we have made it to the very 1st campsite of our road trip. it is actually at the zig spits resort and it sits

just beneath the mountain. that's it right over there. you can't tell. it's a lot taller than that, but the clouds are covering the very tippy tap. apparently there's a restaurant up there. i think there's hiking, there's all sorts of stuff we're for sure. going to be doing that. but before we do, i think we gotta charge this baby app if we can figure it out. yeah. oh, so of course our vehicle comes with the typical connector to charge it, but it also comes with a whole heap of adapter. so let's see if we can find the right one. i think this one matches the pedestal over there. this chord here has this juice booster thing. i don't really know how we use this, so we're just can see what happens. it is plug it in. it used as a fellow, me think this isn't like a ghostbuster. something open that up it well the fight came on and it's flashing green. oh, so we'll see for georgia. i do. oh yeah. check it out. charging completed in 10

hours. 20 minutes. holy cow. huh. good thing, we're staying overnight now that we've got this baby charging, let's take a look on the inside. let's start with the back. and this 1st one here is actually your kitchen. it actually has a functioning think there is like a whole table, because yeah. so we can cook in the back and then even if you have a proper living room, super cool. last but not least, we have to show you how this bed works. so right now, the beds about half size and it's tucked away in the back. so all you do is pull this leg apple, so it's out of the way the chair also put the car down. well then the whole thing slide up like that. to make it about a full size bed. sarah picking us both. let's to sit on. yeah. oh

we took the cable car up to the top and it will cost you $50.00 euros apiece, round trip, but it is worth it just for the views alone. it's absolutely incredible. appear. spits is the highest mountain in germany at 2962 meters above sea level that you're literally up here above the clouds. ah, it's been a blast learning about the electric van. and of course, the seeing the amazing scenery. i think it's just going to get more and more epic as we go and best of all, not using a single drop gasoline feels great mix time. you guys see us, we are going to be road tripping down through italy. we have so much more to see and we can with

and we will be covering their adventures. so be sure to tune in. now when it comes to making small talk, brits and americans like myself are typically experts at it. it's perhaps because we don't like uncomfortable silences, and we generally don't have a problem chatting with strangers and then moving on. germans, however, feel differently about it and will often consider small talk superficial. my british colleague, rachel stuart, discovered some other fundamental differences while out on a small talk fact finding mission in germany. hi, how are you? thank. yeah, yeah, i'm fine. thanks. okay, that's fine. oh, great. yeah. sometimes with small dog, the germans don't even have their own word for it. a german english dictionary describes that of all the flashes or com that's your will. superficial conversation

. ouch, germans do get very perplexed when english speak as greet them in the streets with a comp again, and then walk on by without actually expecting an answer. but that doesn't mean the germans that have their own version of multiple. the key difference is that when jim is engage in chit chat, they want fact they want numbers, they want statistics. so you arrive somewhere by car elsewhere, people might casually ask how the journey was. i don't really care about the answer . but a german when you get away that easily, but ask how long the drive took and how many roadworks you came across. they'll ask you which route you took an expected answer with road names and even motorway exits . if jenny was low enough, they might even without one of their favorite questions, how much would it cost to fill up your tank? it's just the thing here. when james returned from holiday, they'll be eager to tell you about 3 things, the beaches, the food, and the gas prices. you should always do some basic research before entering the social situation in germany. people talk about news and politics. they should also

have the number that you like comedy inhabitants, that the home town. oh and if you get a copy of where you live, your german conversation on one measurement, as in how big is your apartment in the square. so going to be ready with the average price, the living space in your area the lot about up. okay, let's see how good the german flower, jim 60 square meters and 73.6 square meters. since i got 2 and a half rooms and a balcony, 160 square meters are about 200 square meters. it was 70. let me tell you that 1000000. half a 1000000 412342000 vintage, including us 700. 20 inhabitants is another very important topic that you have to master in order to small talk in germany as the brits. i thought i had this topic down, but it turns out the germans can give us

a run for money. i'm talking about the weather. basically complaining about the weather. too hot, too cold to west to snowy. it's too, whether the worst susceptibility to the weather is better suited, and the germans will blame the changing weather for all thoughts. and a final tip for jim, in small talk practice, you'll drop tap in whatever context be at a party or in the office. germans absolutely love to talk about draft and the various stages of air in a room. a classic scene. one german walks into the room and says, paw has a stick it or it's sticky and here they decide it's time to what's lost or get the room and then someone else will invariably walk in and say, oh seat, that means that the draft, they'll wrap a scarf pointedly, round the neck, grumble about getting ill. i closed the window, jen, windows even have a special airing position. the hinge technology must be really strong to cope with

the constant opening and closing. so you see jen and small talk is easy, really chop the niceties know your numbers and have a strong opinion on escalation. see you next time i'll be in and finally we had off to italy now to see some stunning murals by the st artist known as kiona . and his 3 d works not only jump out at the viewer, they also interact with their surroundings. now he says, one of the goals of his art is to brighten up people's lives as they go about their ordinary day. ah, breathtaking wool murals by italian st artist kazi mall. i. e. fox noun, ascii, o. ne. the 3 dimensional effect makes them look almost real. the artist creates most of his murals in his hometown, a piano near milan, the wolf hare all his open egg gallery

encrusted kaiser williams'. here. i wanted to make it look like the wall was made of cardboard carton chino, a la the woman's face is hiding behind it. okay. and that on your drum, and she's holding a round piece of the cut out cardboard flour in her hand. one night in fury. he usually paints people or animals, but blend into vast surrounding with his latest work as a turtle, he prepared a template for the image on the computer. when i get on this, it looks like this. huge turtle is standing behind the pillar on what it without in bull. and since here i want to have the sky continue on all in there. you will see the plants as if the wall was transparent of phone keyona. he spent his youth in germany where he was a graffiti sprayer. he developed his 3 d ot later in italy,

after moving that in 2001. this mural is of his son. it looks as if he sitting in the corner of the house level. and boy, i wanted to set myself apart from the other street are just looking for in type of realism. with several more than one book, you will find the style more exciting in all. i played what it will, i always try to incorporate the wall into a composition all on us. what people gea cause the milk i e far can now live off commissioners. recently painted his 1st full wall in milon the 21 metre high work was commissioned by a well known milan company. but the artist that's free rain and put himself in the picture again and again, he checks the perspective from a distance present don't. i'll clear up the door i portrayed myself while sprain. we still better be be injured, and i tried to give the image

a 3 d effect with 3 different layers of and dan, in the motif extending past to depict the frame of the image for the design. he had wanted to add wooden fingers around the edge of the building, but the authorities refused permission. he still managed to get the fingers a sculpted effect. back in nav. yeah, no. because he woke i. e fuss, hypo realistic turtle takes 3 days to complete the optical illusion works best from this perspective. this is very different from the other murals. you see the beam with well planned and precisely worked out. yeah, so that's with yahoo. and it looks good,

very realistic, as well as if it's coming out of the wall. she had a full keyona. the title was just for fun. he got new payment i do this mainly to give a little joy and a splash of color to the people who pass by here on their way to work every day. bigger allow yeah, just a little quote cause the moke i. e file is constantly adding new elements to the long factory wall, which he calls his whole of fame. our that we wrap up another show, don't forget to follow us on social media and head over to our website to take part in our viewers draw for the chance of getting your hands on our d. w. uncensored collections which are closed, that make a statement for freedom of expression world wide. as always,
