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. been my online. i've always had this since i was a kid. i shone from klein and all around the rhineland region. carnival events are taking place with dance performances and the acrobats cold function. 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 cache throw. my love for dancing is almost an obsession. i knew tons hide and i

tried to bring it to the cologne. carnival done so now kind about stance 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 is about so now you can let this grandma down again with or she dances, hold routines on her own, as here in her late eighty's. ah, she draws information for free from classical ballet. in the late 1940 s, she became a stage dancer at the cologne opera house. and in 1957 prima ballerina in 5 book southern germany. and she kept landing dancing gigs throughout europe and the u. s . till the late 1900 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 bomb dot cologne opera house. there is a hotel there today. you know. i think that was the most wonderful thing ever for not finally that terrible war and its aftermath. and we had carnival again to be done. you could have fun again. you could sing and meet friends again. for me as a true alone go carnival is the alex fear of life. just 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 and 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 dandy 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 different encryption. it's in the mail, only group has absolutely passionate about carnival. i sounds perfect universe. i'm going, it's not about that affection. it's

a kind of satirical dancing. however, 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 fiddle, spoke with a few weeks later. it's showtime. this time the group is performing during a carnival event, but one of the dancers is sick, so it's up to biggie to take his place. please give me a guy, i'm feeling quite confident because it's always worked in the past. due balance, ah, biggie, fun and flavor 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 possession, 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 undergrad, this 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 a daily life here? well, let's find out. germany is definitely more famous for its cars than its public transport . mercedes b, n, w, or portia or old globally popular german car, bronze. but the number of people using public transport here is rapidly increasing, especially in cities. all right, let's jump in with a brief explanation of how the public transport system here actually we have a subway system, an underground system and transit 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 train to make sure that you got a ticket and it's 60 fine if you do it so not worth it. you can buy tickets through an app on your phone, or in most stations around the city because they are ticket machines everywhere. it's different depending on which region you're traveling in. in germany, of course, there would be 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. okay, 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. belinda, 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 the full extent to get more and people nowadays on us than

public transportation is inclusive. it's sosa and it's sustainable. the idea of the european city is to be around and public space. yeah. and not talking your private car here for 23 hours. the city is about sitting and copies and dresser and, and talk to each other and 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 quite just shirley jones, who drive trains in berlin and she loves it money entering the tunnel for the 1st time with great experience, the 1st time in the dog whole, the lights everywhere, the signals, the sounds of the trains. it's a really great feeling at sunrise if this is a joke, stress. so now success in the 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 annoyed people when they come running up and the doors close, we have is scheduled and we drive it, have to go to the bathroom at the terminus and those are the minutes we're missing here. there you have it. public transport in germany. it certainly makes my life here. berlin more convenient and more connected. and it's nice to see how it brings everyone out here together and said that the best way to experience a country is true. it's 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. oh, not shame moment. the best moment about eating appear,

we are just super proud of that. my name is bogus, i'm in town. i'm a full journalist and reporter based in warsaw, poland. one of the places now that we use the connect with our so called milk bars, they originated in the early 20th century. so all the flower base dishes, for example, pier became like a very popular because they're also very economic and they're very satisfying. you can find them still in those new bars and you can have a portion for a few euros. but then you can also find a good on your appear to be inspires dishes in the best time dining restaurants. and just i think it's the best food that they have a very special place in our hearts. so is packet saw if you don't need something, you cannot forget up on lunch, but yet they make you feel good, especially sort of the eyeball. a winter
