organizations are trying to prevent the worst, but the whole of east africa is threatened by family. in 45 minutes on d w. o, what people have to say matters to us. ah, that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d. w. ah . every year norway builds a new city out of sugar and spice war. find out more about this holiday tradition

at the top of the show everyone and welcome to another edition of your own max with me, your host. megan lee. here's a look at what else we have coming up for you today. how eunice does our rule became one of europe's most successful, tick tock, hers and some things about hungary and national dish, which you might not have known in the run up to christmas. one of my most favorite things to do is bake cakes and cookies like this at gingerbread house that we have brought into the studio to day . now normally my big goods are only for those around me, but in the norwegian town of bargain, many residents turn into baking architects. and that's because they participate in creating europe's largest gingerbread village. now with several 100 kilos of sugar

flour and spice and use. this is a baking event of epic proportions. ah, somewhere there is an entire town made of gingerbread. a good 2000, a gingerbread houses and over 600 kilos of dough have gone into this christmas fantasy. europe's biggest gingerbread town. the residence of bag in norway. love this over 30 year old tradition. every year, but only custodian and her 4 daughters can hardly wait to get started. this special thing about the agenda of our city is that it brings the community together. it's amazing is that it's a fairy tale. as you come here for the kids, they have a lot of fun and like you can see the leather lights and the houses that made smell . so my thing just as tantalizing as the gingerbread town is the old town of baton on norway, south west coast. every year, but only gustovo turns her kitchen into

a christmas bakery. she and her daughter's need through several kilos of gingerbread dough. they carefully cut out each individual component for the houses, even the smallest of the family joining i. of course they're allowed to nav the occasional pinch of though the cookies have to be thoroughly baked until crispy, so they'll hold up. it takes several sheets full to deliver enough materials to build the houses blue, say glue the pieces together with melted sugar. then finally, it's time for decoration i go back if i can. gingerbread houses because they're really tasty. baker ah, pitching in to help make the town as the tradition that has now been passed on to the next generation. but donica started to built gingerbread houses with her mother

and grandmother as a little girl and integrated them in the town. the bakers can cook up whatever their hearts desire. there's no fixed concept, but many residents pick a landmark from the back and area this year, our integration is said the both house right across here. yeah. over here. so we wanted to do something from our place. and so we have that done for about to both i oh and naming after with say for my grandfather, spoke the finished edible masterpieces are put on display in the art museum in central baghdad. any one can contribute from professional bakeries to day care centers, schools and families. i stay not. christoph addison founded the gingerbread town in 1991. the income from tickets

goes to children's welfare. organizations has such a good feeling. abriya, seeing older children, adults coming out to to see the pop up. okay. be honest, contested. i hope that the gender was ship, it will be a tradition along off the on gone. he's got very good reason to hope many of the towns people are already planning for the future. for me, gingerbread town is part of my childhood because we have delivered houses several times during my childhood, and i am doing it with my kids as well. so hopefully they'll do it with that. that children the gingerbread town remains on display until december 31st than it is demolished after the gingerbread houses have stood unprotected and the exhibition hall for a month, they're no longer edible. even so baggins kids at heart began small,

we'll be looking forward to building a new one again next year. ah. but i still wonder how many people have given the village a taste ever since its creation in 2016 tick tock has turned dozens of ordinary people into over night sensations. and that's what happened to unit 0. germany's most successful tic, talker today. now he has around 50000000 fans thanks to his colorful and creative content. and his numbers keep growing. what started off as a one man show is now turned into a successful team effort. many of my videos have upwards of a 100000000 views. i don't know, and that's what my 1st really big deal came about. in late 2020. it was an offer. in the mid 5 figures in the class, unit 3 rose to fame. 2 years ago,

with his tech talks, he shot into the spotlight with creative photos and behind the scenes videos. to day, almost 50000000 people follow him, making him the 2nd most successful, tick tock in europe, and one of the top 20 world wide. but how did he do it? was born in frankfurt, germany in 1998, when in by nathan kind of of my parents who were morocco's been then although i was born and raised here, a rocco holds a special place in my heart. and the young eunice to read doesn't speak arabic. still the annual trip to morocco is very important to him for the family money used to be tight. thomas, i shared a room with my 3 siblings at that time, but we never complained about it. i actually always slept in a bed with my brother because we were too afraid to sleep alone does not answer laughing unison who had a religious upbringing and praise 5 times a day. sports also played a big role in his childhood. he jumped up, becoming a prize,

soccer player. fuss at age 17. he realized he wouldn't make it. but then virtually overnight tick tock changed his life to day money is no longer an issue. then i'll be america booked like then on my birthday, january 6th, 2020. i posted one of my most viral videos yet. do i put my phone in a bucket, filled it with water and made a vortex with my arm? done? buffalo hung a time. then i poured some blue paint into it and because of the force of the vortex, the paint stayed in the middle rather than mixing with the water. is that venue alone made me 7 or 800000 subscribers is you'll see more often of all the men come up and that's what my 1st really big deal came about in late 2020 and it was an offer in the mid 5 figures in the class, i'm think you won't get rich with a single breakthrough video though, maybe 3 heroes, but for that it has to have gone very viral. well, that wouldn't cover my monthly cost. it is, after all, i have employees that i have to pay the house. the cars i currently i make most of my income through advertising deals, the mac line, post office with these units 3, texas to one of his productions. it's 8 a. m on

a saturday. this is the only way he can work undisturbed behind his success as a team of 10 plus people creatives bookkeepers manages his shoots, reveal just how much of a perfectionist he is good for the journey directly with the submit. my sincere mazel, it's usually always about one and a half weeks to a fortnight ahead of the shoot that we discuss everything so we can be prepared to i, my own dies, bring the bucket and stool and the picture please. because everything has to be just right. he will go the extra mile for the next bio video and expects the same from his team. and i have to say honestly, i really don't like to leave as quick as yeah, the leaves are too hot to brown, right? and that don't, we have nicer leave somewhere hooks yet. they're nicer ones down there. but the v as in unit, the only other leaves are in the tree, little bomb. the result is something to be proud of despite the brown leaves.

eunice is tick tock regs up. an astonishing full 1000000 b. mm eunice arrays. several channels reach over 60000000 fans around the globe. the team help him come up with new ideas, but unis edits the content almost exclusively by himself. his parents are not as supportive when it comes to his career, they want him to have an ordinary job. but his online community offers him the support he needs to keep going. laugh amelia la familia. the hash tag alone has over 19000000000 views on tick tock, it by nights and millions of youth. but success doesn't always lead to happiness of his father. of course, there are days where it's tough and so nice. it could be a day of bad weather, or maybe the star is just on a line with a little noticeable and you're moving to seeing the right. but i'm a very positive person. i'm on the road and experience a lot. so i don't have time to think about it really no time to ask myself the

question, how am i doing right now with what dish comes to mind when you think of hungary, most people would likely say goulash the country's national dish. but if you go to hungary and order goulash, you will actually get a soup. we reveal this and other secrets about the dish in a new episode of our food secret series. ah, well, actually is a very simple dish. he want to pay the meat and he wants to pay the pop rica, the good quality, top quality paprika, which is not easy to get your hands on, even in hungry. ah, you have to follow the traditional just cooking for a few hours and give the lot as well.

ah, every 2nd week me a call. that's why i like as well. hi, my name is lisa santo, from hungary, and exit the sheer fans struggled with us. and the one of the most popular signature dish on our menu, this the traditional hungary, i would assume a quite a bit of a hoop. we're gonna hook it later and in the market for a week out by. so the way nice to meet the meet and the public composite as well, ah, progress, sophie was a so much trouble as well. so that is the flavor regarding much more each. so i

should as the basic who fish the bus up is available all the time. and the addition of some guardlick is very important and we're going to buy some banish on you as well. that's going to be the base of this to help we guy, he was the beef chick. this is one of them will stand there part of me on the meat . so actually this part of muscle, the call we use, the more will death. that's why it's called the more much more than the in generally, because the nice it actually cubes and the, the cooking together with the poignant base. well, it's very important to us throughout the own. you're letting us to so it takes half an hour. everyone. i mean, let it be just

a simple tour is from whichever part of the word or levy be a 3 mish landstar chef from a famous kitchen. every one comes to hungary wants to taste the perfect glass. ah, hello, i'm sophie. i'm out there hanging in full dread. they're based in budapest, and i believe that a perfect goulash is really the best step input which would of hanging ah, the terminology of the glass is a complicated issue. because i think people normally, international people are expecting to get as to when they order a glass at restaurant. but here in hungary, if you're eating, it will actually, if you order it from a restaurant menu, you would probably get a soup and will actually, which is more likely service. you reach the majority of the people who would expect to when they are there and will act, gets caught in angry and cassini could put,

could a guess. another complicated issue. it's obviously the signature spice of anger and cooking. if you have a 1st look on the topic, or you can immediately say a lot about the quality, it should be very intense through t clean taste. a secret tape of all other hungarian grandmother. he was probably not. we didn't ever recipe. and the secret is when you add the poppy, come have to pick the pan of the heath and pulled the popper got on the onions separately because it gets very easily bitter and it burns that easily. so that's why you have this extra, ah, carol's, than piece of meat. so he's the beacon wife, actually still no, up to 2 hours. the meat is nice and cool. and we can at some root

worthless, trash to most people becomes a valuable material for dennis signage. well, we visited the artist in her studio in the turkish city of is temple. oh, her portraits are put together from plastic, bottle tops, colored scraps of paper and fabric. and lots of cords. this turkish artist works and the medium of trash all the while following a mission. marvel are by no, i'm dennis savage. i'm trying to create a social consciousness by tuning all kinds of every day consumer items into works of art. so get up my toes, should she compose is the portraits and her istanbul studio picking out interesting faces on the internet. first, she prints out photos of details and assembled them to form a template one meter 40 by one meter 40. that's when the creative work commences. owns anyone can reach festival. my mind plays with the pfizer and i analyze this

play. i met with yours. before i designed the portrait, i go to works of black and white photography for inspiration and leave out the colored pieces for the time being as in then came italia, actually it was a bit like a puzzle. i washed them. i said they didn't give. it's all mere puzzles. oh, then he's savage stores her materials next door to her studio, piling up all kinds of scraps and bits and pieces, including cables, wires, leather and aluminum cans. she gets her materials from the east on bull garbage collectors, and private companies parked the park. the mazda molars are i look like a wide variety of materials or such as, for instance, textiles, scraps or damage. or these are plastic bottle cappy that we've collected over time live. oh, sorry, i missed that. would on the hi. this is all electronic john marsh,

electronic data that i actually found in one piece of literature pic. but we break them down into little competitive with hard with and then all of these little pods can become a partial. her works are displayed in public spaces like as don bull's airport. here, the artist reaches the broad international audience that she wants to sensitize to a more conscious use of resources. many of the travelers take the time to inspect the needs savage. as complex works close up that they're not of the asylum about when people see my words from a distance, they generally take them for oil painting, sickness mold on up when they come a little closer. they start to realize they're made up of household. doug j executive sorta figure out then they can hardly believe what they're seeing and reflexively start touching my work. and then sometimes even that's not enough for

them. you know, they might pick something off and take it along as a 7 an wrong still are. currently, the artist is working on a series of portraits consisting of lots of colored plastic bags. she fixes each disposable back to the board with a glue gun. she devotes around 3 to 6 weeks to works like this for them can i think you on time i thought you said that odd doesn't have to be made only using the classic methods of your son. i'd like to develop a school of art that proves cooking can be art at amazon. the holding a camera is ours. and even how we act can be arch, sorry they did a could they me academic expertise isn't all that kathleen? i'd like to open a school where you can learn from practical experience school i to my castillo. oh, eye catching worse with an agenda than he sought edge hopes her ard can help make the world a slightly better place. and

finally, train travel through europe is a good, great way to see beautiful landscapes. and some of the most stunning scenery can be found in switzerland, but many trains zip through the countryside. and before you know it, you are at your destination. well, for those who would like to take a leisurely ride for the alps, then it's all aboard the glacier express. the slowest express train in the world. ah no dusted, mountains and glistening glaciers. rocky gorges and stunning ski slopes. this is train travel at its peak. hi there, i am hannah, whom all and today i'm traveling on a glacier express. the twisting track travels through some of switzerland's most

scenic landscape, which is why it's often described as one of the most breathtaking journeys in the world. i'm starting my journey in st. morris, a winter sports resort. beloved by the jet set. it's airily, the sun is just rising and it's minus 10 degrees celsius. but hopefully it will be worth it for the gorgeous winter views i've been promised. our 8 hour long trip through the swiss alps begins and sent more. it's continues through core and matt and break and ends in their mat. the route connects to ski resort towns often viewed as the winter playgrounds of the rich and famous big glacier express calls itself the world's slowest, fast train averaging just 38 kilometers an hour. it passes through $91.00 tunnels and crosses $291.00 bridges, including the land, faster viaduct, a unesco world heritage site. the train is making

a somewhat longer stop to switch agent. so i'm going to see if i can have a quick chat with the train driver palo when that hello. can you tell me right about what it's like, it's actually drive a train like this line is they all snow, it's quite challenging. you need to have a good concentration and an overview of the root all as well as know the mountains and where the dangerous parts are alive. i hurry back onto the train just in time for lunch. the glacier express prepares all of its food on board in this tiny kitchen. it offers a 3 course meal of traditional swiss cuisine that goes perfectly with the surrounding scenery. the glacier express wasn't always

a luxury tourist attraction. it started running in 1930 as a week for low cost to get around. but only in the summer months. the vast amount of snow and ice made it too difficult to operate in the winter time. in the early 19 eighties miss west began to recognize the trains tourism potential. the railway line was overhauled so it could run it year round, the glacier express became one of the world's most successful and well known tourists trade. several hours into the journey we reached the highest point on the line that over out pass at an elevation of 2033 meters. no wonder this is also a popular ski area. this is definitely the most amazing view

so far like being if i had a snow globe 300 kilometers later, the train reaches its destination. after 8 hours, we finally arrived in 7 months. it was like a winter wonderland. gorgeous scenery. but now it's really time to stretch my legs . i even catch a glimpse of the famous matter horn. just as the sunsets over this plan, you know, village, colorful, moravian stars like this one and can be found hanging in many homes here in germany during the holiday season. if you would like one for your home, then just go to our website and take part in this week's viewers draw. and with that, it is time to say goodbye as always thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again
