all the time, the rolling stones, the most successful, hope that the ball tie it would be $21.00. 30 minutes on d, w. these places in europe or smashing all the records slip into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you will record breaking sites on google maps to and now also in book form i have you ever day dreamed of living in the medieval castle. we set out to discover what it was really like back that some of us could use a bit more color in our lives and interiors. eva shenika has some ideas for that. and in spain we find out where to enjoy traditional topics with beer or wine and

sometimes free of charge. all this and more, coming upon neuro mac. oh, germany is famous for its majestic palaces and castles, but is it like a medieval fairy tale to live in them a modern day lord gave us a tour to show us just how wonderful it could be despite the challenges. mm hm. imagine waking up here, gazing at the window from one of your many towers and surveying the surrounding forests in the morning sunshine. today i my book ed's castle to find out what it's really like. miss castle has been inhabited by the same family for over 800 years, so they seemed like back to ask the family have managed to keep the castle in their

hands over the last 8 centuries through careful diplomacy and smart marriages. workouts was built in the prime of medieval castle construction between the 11th and 13 centuries, deliberately near the missouri river. historically, one of the most important trade routes in germany nowadays, whilst it's obviously beautiful, i think, living here could come with it, challenges count yak, called fun. and through ed took over the castle, ownership from his father in 2018. he has another home in the area regularly spends time here at book where he grew up to this castle, certainly has a certain atmosphere, of course. is that something that you still experience, especially once people have left in the evenings and it gets quiet and you're in nature, it has a very, very special atmosphere and, and there's also kind of a sense of belonging here. way for some reason. i just feel totally at home.

so the bed is a lot larger than it looks. it's about one me to a t wide and to me to 10 long. okay. and the reason for that is because the whole family would sleep in there. so it would be the both the parents as well as the church and what it was in order to preserve the heat. that's why you have the captain's, and that's also wise build up because he wanted to catch the rising heat. that's why back then people usually climb into bed and today we usually fall into in the theme painted across the bedroom walls is a playful one. its philip phallic and fertility symbols. mm hm. mm. mm. mm. mm. visually attractive things other 2 papist re said are hanging here. now

tapestries evolved in the 14th century or even earlier because he would put cloth up in order to make the room woman more comfortable in. so this is one of about 40 higher places in the car. so with about 80 rooms that means every 2nd room had a high place which was an extraordinary luxury time. yeah, i can imagine and it will hind iron a cost i in facts which heated up and once they were hot, you could pick them up with certain tongues and bring them to the next room, which didn't have a fireplace. and that would give off the heat in so a castle like this probably requires quite a lot of upkeep on the right. i was talking,

it does. we are constantly renovating repairing. there's always something that needs to be done all the time. it takes a lot of energy and also a lot of finances, which is why we're so grateful for our guests because without them, none of this would be possible. i mean, this is one of my favorite pieces as well because it's a big wooden chopping block. and we measured it, and the chopping block fits neither through the window nor through the door. so it must have been here when they finish this room. wow. so this is probably one of the oldest pieces in the. absolutely. ah, well, there you have it. life and imagine evil capital. it has a certain flare, right? maybe it's not quite the fairytale lifestyle that you might expect and sure it

would be cold in the winter. but wouldn't it all be worth it? just to have this whole place and the whole surrounding area all to yourself, ah, let a little color interior life. that's what textile designer, eva, show nike has in mind with her west african inspired interior decor. she brightens up drab european living rooms and makes the space a more cheerful place. making life more colorful is what london designer eva show. nike has set out to do, and she takes an approach all her own efficacy really at my court. everything that i am is reflected in these designs, and it's such a great feeling that people respond positively to it. e fish or nike launched her 1st collection in 2010 and scored an immediate hit renown stores carried her

luxurious home textiles and accessories. now her designs are available, world wide recent achievements include collaborations with so home, the home furnishing line of the exclusive club. so how house hotel and luxury designer, bathroom makers, c p heart, eva, show nike, study journalism, and felon to design more or less by accident. that couldn't find the designs that i wanted. so i thought like, why don't i design them myself? because in my head, i knew exactly what i wanted, but i couldn't find a textiles. so i started off designing myself. it was the best decision ever to start my own designs because that's how i can exactly express my kind of our creative story. eva, embarked on her creative journey in fryeburg, in southern germany, where she grew up, the daughter of nigerian parents. her father is an art historian, her mother, a pediatrician, travel, and visits to me. z m developed her interest in art and design. that was really

from an early age, interested and interior design and in textiles and patterns of his leave, west africa and the west african narrative arrest african way of life. as for me, at the core of my work. but it's also a structured, very organized, which is, i think of the german elements which come into then i think the combination of these 2 elements and makes it a think so versatile, that people from different backgrounds and, you know, different parts of the world, kind of resonate with it and, and like the style. one of her inspirations is nigerian boutique and textile artist, chief nico debbie's, oakland di, both our ethnic, your rober or west african ethnic group with a highly rich culture. this includes the typical idea fabrics made using indigo di techniques. these are also reflected in even designs. so i think traditionally there's a lot of meaning and storytelling, and african textiles and in the african narrative. and i tried to do the same. i

mean, i'm not designing traditional african textiles, but i'm trying to tell a story with my textiles. i think then my journalistic background comes in as well . the designer tell stories from her life in her creations. she draws inspiration from experiences she's had along the way. she doesn't tell these stories in words, but through colors and shapes who's gotten to the colors? when i'm in nigeria, i often take pictures of everything that inspires me think that i see maybe a embroidery on address or anything. and i think that's all kind of captured in somewhere in my brain and that i sketch and i just let it go and flow and sketching as a long process from the original sketch to the finished design and can take several weeks. you know, we have to make a lot of tweaks and everything a sketch and black and white 1st. once i'm happy with the design,

then v introduce the colors that actually before into that design, eva has no doubt that she's found her true colleague, that everything she's done and has experienced over the years, her childhood, her background, her experiences as a tv producer and fashion journalist has led her right to where she is. now, this is more than a business. this is like an extension of myself. and i think of self love and to self and expression and sharing this obviously with other people as not just that i do it for myself. i could sit at home and, you know, like do it all day, but sharing this with the world and i'm seeing the appreciation and the love that i'm getting ready keeps me going, gets me out of bed every day. my story telling is as old as human kind, but how we tell stories varies eva, shall nike tells them through her african inspire designs

a great way to get to know what country is to fall in love with a native. but how easy is it to find that special, someone in germany? what should you consider on a date? we've got a couple of tips for those looking for love. this episode of meet the germans. it's all about passion, relationships, and love in germany. let's be very german about it. and so some numbers to as a germans believe in love with the site, the average age getting married is 33 gay marriage, the needles in 2017. most people in germany still meet their partner through mutual acquaintances, but online dating and apps are not far behind. somewhat unromantic lee. the german word for a dating site is singer bosom the singles market. there are various specialist markets on offer to like ones for vegan. goths was wagons. but what about when they're actually on the day? so other than the updated one german i thought i'd bring in some

take it for. i wouldn't exactly say that chivalry is dead in germany, but i do often have the feeling. it's gone missing. sometimes nobody uses their real name or like facebook or they don't have what's app because it's too open. you have to expect that you have to split your bills. and doris for the ways it will come up to you and they'll ask you suzanne or a good friend and then also will come from the german guy like him. and i'm like, ok, how do you know if germany sounds like being of a joke? i think always through the eyes. if they give you a special look, maybe germans are not the greatest at communicating the fact that they are into, they don't tend to the whole, maybe the excitement, but not effect flirting. it's not clear. have you been on any unusual dates in germany? i think like your follow, so i'm standing there. it is really weird kind of activity. so a date we have to get naked in germany. awkward. so i know germans are quite fit

and they're interested in all kind of like outdoor activities, which is nice, but maybe i'm not into like bouldering on the 1st time we meet. sometimes people just pay, you know, let's take a walk or let's meet the pack for i've. it's not romantic to be in it for on 2008 couples have been coming to this bridge in cologne, to leave a padlock as a lasting symbol of their love for one another. there are well over a 100000 padlock from the bridge, adding an estimated 50 tons of weight. other cities around the world have begun removing locks from their love bridges, exciting health and safety concerns, but at least for now, love has won the day in cologne. things were in cologne. we should probably talk about the rhine lines my bomb or may treat tradition in the night leading into the 1st of may and i'm a john gibbons, traditionally guys of course go in such a birch tree transport it by whatever means necessary. decorated with punitive cream of love, hot and tie it to a lump outside of its home. for the more modern romeo there were even may treat and

live reserves is now put in the sweet stuff. it's time for the soul. how open other german when it comes to sex, musta indoor chun calabi. i think most people in germany are still very preserved and shy. sorry. my name is latina 21 and i ran an erotic shop for women in cologne for 25 years. at 1st it was really tough. no one wanted to sit next to me at choir practice once they found out what my job was, but for them, what were your best sellers? wouldn't to county? so we essentially lived off vibrator sales, penis shape one that weren't all that popular. i'm trying to, this is more secretive. it's all you need. it can be really small. on how old were your customers up from about 50 to 60 years old. one time a significantly older lady came in and said, my husband has been stroking his way right past the spot for 20 years. i've had enough and i'm buying a vibrator. it's coach me bottle, it's time for me to love you and leave you. but before i go, here's

a little love related wisdom from gemini, navigate to us in mocking. the way to a person's heart is through the stomach. that's hats out that someone to log in germany, you don't want your heart on your sleeve, but on your tongue. oh and i had to leave both stiffness. old love doesn't rust. here in spain, they often come with beer and wine without even being ordered. top us are a welcome accompaniment to a drink and they come in a great variety. we had a few recipes shown to us in madrid, ah, spain without toppers simply inconceivable. these little appetizers are found and seemingly endless varieties across spain. but what do you need to know about spanish top as, here's a look. oh, last hi, i'm berlin, cortez,
