a national favorite in poland. the life of a professional dancer can be relatively short lived, many hang up their dancing shoes, usually by the time they are 40 years old, but not that big, eat fine, and schreiber at 91. she is still an active dancer and choreographer. she got her start as a ballerina and later turned her focus to festivities surrounding carnival in the western german city of cologne, where she is still active for biggie fine and schreiber. age is nothing but a number. ah, it's hard to believe, but this lady is 91 years old. be financially, but is the longest serving choreographer and dancer in the cologne. carnival townsend is finished dancing is the language of the soul to me, thus is when i'm alone. i've got my dawn than that ally, and i've always had this since i was a kid. as joshua informed klein,

i'm all around the rhineland region. carnival events are taking place with dance performances and the acrobats cold, crooked my vision, showing offer skills, and they owe their success to biggie finance guy, but he's been training carnival dance groups for over 5 decades. in the early 70, she developed the best known lifts and fruits, and she has been known as the mother of maddie, sion acrobats. ever since. i don't know who i'm as salt throw or a katie throw. my love for dancing is almost an obsession. i know tons hide and i tried to bring it to the cologne. carnival done sooner. kind about tons in 9 siblings. she likes to show the dancers how to do it right. like here in 2015 with me, looked floating through with as bad senior leg up there on the bus, his bus. so now you can let his grandma down again with or she dances,

hold routines on her own. as here in her late eighty's, she draws inspiration for freeze from classical ballet. in the late 1940, she became a stage dancer at the cologne opera house. and in 1957 prima ballerina in fiber, oak southern germany, and she kept landing dancing gigs throughout europe and the u. s. till the late 19 sixty's. but carnival was her big passion from early on when the city of cologne lay in ruins after world war 2, she was the one to organize the afternoon housewife dances beside the bombed out cologne opera house. there is a hotel there to day and half to half the us in cologne. that was the most wonderful thing ever. first found that finally up to that terrible wool and its aftermath had we had carnival again,

could be done. you could have fun again and you could sing and meet friends again that made for me as a true cologne girl. carnival is the alex year of life. just maybe a week. after her time as a professional dancer, biggie fun and tribe completely devoted herself to carnival. the carnival events are still partly in mail. hands to this day. i miss how an in the early sixty's or seventy's a woman was nothing in the cologne carnival knish. and i don't want to blow my own trumpet dick, but then they discovered how great my groups were. that's how i became the mother of the muddy sion for distant motor, demolished discipline and iron will have always been her trade marks digging financially by works out almost every day. whenever and wherever she can.

just a reminder. she's 91. ah, whoa. biggie, financial i buy is also still active. as a choreographer once a week she trans, the troop do hip and encryption. it's in the mail. only group has absolutely passionate about carnival. i was on the fact unity burgess. i'm going, it's not about that affection. it's a kind of satirical dancing i've talked to you or we're not trying to be taken very seriously with your husband. it's about sharing the fun. we have shots of them for ourselves, spots and for the audience of all for it was broken down a few weeks later. it's showtime. this time the group was performing during a carnival event. but one of the dancers is sick,

so it's up to biggie. to take his place of his get bag, i'm feeling quite confident it because it's always worked in the past. due balance . ah, biggie, fun and tribe is proof that you can be full of energy and enjoy life well into the golden years. ah, she's an example for us all germany is a land known for among other things. it's driving culture. some of the world's top cars are made here. and of course you have the famous autobahn. but in these times of climate change, it's fair to question how much longer the car will remain the number one mode of transportation will. luckily, most german cities have a network of public transportation, which means many people don't have to rely on

a car. your max report are hunted, homo explored how the system works here in berlin ticket, but what, but there were no ticket barriers. it took me awhile to realize that public transport and jamie was not in fact free. when i 1st moved here, i was pretty overwhelmed by the whole system. do i take the underground, the subway, the drown the bus, or even the ferry, or a combination of all of them? how does public transport and germany actually work? and how important is it for daily life here? well, let find out. germany is definitely more famous for its cars than its public transport . mercedes, b, n, w, r, portia or old, globally popular german car, bronze bought the number of people using public transport. here is rapidly increasing, especially in cities. all right, let's jump in with a brief explanation about how the public transport system here actually works. we

have a subway system, an underground system, and tramps and buses that drive on the street. they differ in speed and rail network. the lack of ticket barriers here is confusing as a system of trust, but don't be a fool inspectors do occasionally walk around the cranes and make sure that you've got a ticket and it's 60 fine. and he doing so not worth it. you can buy tickets through an app on your phone or in most stations around the city because they're ticket machines everywhere. it's different depending on which region you're traveling in in germany. of course, avi too easy for it to be the same everywhere. don't forget to stamp your ticket, otherwise it's not valid. there are different types of tickets, depending on the number of people and the stuff you're traveling to. for example, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. mm. open it easy. most people i know in berlin don't have

a car because it's so easy to travel by train, track our bus. plus, if you're driving, you often get stuck in traffic. there are never enough parking spaces and let's be honest, it's not great for the environment. it's no excuse to use public transportation and berlin, you can use it everywhere every time. this is stephane, carsten, future ologist. how important is public transport for a german culture? well, 1st of all, the comments. so other transportation is trying hard and is fighting with full extent to get more info and people nowadays on us. then public transportation is inclusive, it's sosa and it's sustainable. the idea of the european city is to be around in public space and not talking your private car. here for 23 hours. the city is about sitting and copies and dresser and talk to each other debate the the great,

the courses of our times at public transportation is the enabler. now it's time to meet the professional, those who keep the whole buffalo system moving. i'm thinking questions, shirley jones, who dr. trains in berlin and she loves it. that's money. transferring the tunnel for the 1st time with great experience, the 1st time in the stock whole, the lights everywhere, the signals, the sounds of the trains. it's really great feeling. it's fun, right? this is a job stress. so netflix is cindy. fog is the most annoying thing is passengers holding doors open when it's done back please. that's what it means. don't get on. we don't do it annoying people when they come running up and the doors close we have is scheduled to be dr. is have to go to the bathroom at the terminus and those are the minutes we're missing here. and there you have it. public transport in germany, it certainly makes my life here in berlin. more convenient and more connected. and

it's nice to see how it brings everyone out here together to it said that the best way to experience a country is through its food. and for polen, it's the parole game, a national favorite. now these are stuff dumplings that come in both sweet and savory varieties. for the latest episode of our series food secrets, we visited a restaurant in the capital, warsaw, where they serve no less than 15 different kinds. ah, not shame moment. the best moment about eating appear, rocky as when he take the 1st pine at all when he 1st feel the dove. how slight and pleasant it is in cape sam number you then? yes, they are warm lie. you have all this steam coming in your face. this comfort cause both from the memories, from the atmosphere, from the flavor, but also from the texture of the dish itself.
