are ready to go pro the how many laps do they have to complete the 60 minute d, w. these places in europe are smashing the records, stepped into an old adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on google back to and now also in book form the when the sun doesn't set it's time to celebrate at the st. john's festival in lance . yeah. it's lonely at the top. we don't cover some of the mysteries behind most. i'm you show in french and what comes 1st cream for jam. joining us for traditional cream tea in the south of england. all this and more

coming up on your own max. the . but 1st, we start with a record breaker. germany's tallest man, john and konica can't just drive any car for buy clothes off of just any rack. we take a closer look at how he navigates daily life. germany's tallest man stands at a statuesque, 2 meters 25 or 7 feet and $38.00 inches. so what's it like being janik? konica? in this video, you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions. we made down and get home. what do you see really 2 meters? 25 tall. we measure him. but our reporter is is too short. she

suggests switching places with a camera man. who gives it a shot. he has a better chance at one meter 98. the results, 2 meters, 25. so it's true. 22 year old janik lives near however you can fit through any standard door or into any normal car and ready made clothes had been too small for him for 10 years or added to them. so yeah, that's difficult to say actually only have custom made to show it since what is what i can still buy, travis, it's actually, there's still one or 2 shots then by the end, exactly, one shop, a 3 hours drive from hanover stock shoes and his size several studies have shown that consuming milk stimulates growth as a child. yeah,

they did in fact lead up to 24 yogurts and drink 12 leaders of milk a week that kind of theme it off. and so the calorie requirement is always measured according to weight and size on the when you install your automatically carrying around a certain number of kilo's steps auto plaza. in fact, i'm going to died at the moment and can or shoot on the 8 between 200-2500 calories a day, kind of give me a name. that's no more than an average man consumes that just under one meter. 80. as a description of things you know, miles on. well, i tend to think it's a normal angle chord. mitchell. i've also checked of life expectancy is higher or lower. i'm i still, i guess, nowadays with motor medicine, i should probably live to the same age as someone who's i mean to me just told it was 5 minutes. i was there are studies that show that taller people have a shorter life expectancy, but it also depends on other factors. janik works out regularly,

but the hard training isn't just for the sake of his health. douglas satellite choice. of course the tool this jasmine is one thing about the tool, this body builder in the world would be a totally different number by off. so if the current title holder is to me, it is a team. so who knows if i keep up the training maybe in 2 or 3 years i'll get that . so then i wouldn't just be the total this person in germany, but also the total is bunny builder in the well the american robert whitelow was the tallest person ever at 2 meters 72. now however, the turk sultan cruise on is considered the tallest person currently alive at 2 meters, 51 of a 9 to more triggered his excessive growth. how tall a person can grow is also a genetic predisposition or part of that. and my father is 196, and my mother is 193 time lawrence,

this is kind of no i don't have a girlfriend and i don't usually have any priorities concerning the height of a few to girlfriend. carrots is more important. and what's also very difficult as being in the public eye on not everyone can handle that as soon as customers. but in the meantime, it's my life about and i'll be saying, okay, people, yes, of course we can take a photo. we can do that. yes or tomorrow because of all of his projects, as germany's tallest person, janik dropped out of his training as a plan mechanic. now he's focusing on his social media career. he's pretty successful, especially on tick tock. also, guys,

what do you say? do you think i could drive the car? i'm consist of showing up. so the plan is to exploit the size thing professionally . to the point that one day we're talking with. film rolls for the advertising rose to some brands or advertising deals, or vision box, whatever for values. he garner is attention and income through social media, but that's not all. it's helped his self esteem as well. in terms of how much the oh, what is being bullying and stupid comments in the past joined the baby and the like . but i think maybe that had to happen to make me go and today towards the dab. and there's been fun fact to end on younique's bike at least is not custom made. but for an average sized woman, it's still gigantic and getting onto it is nearly impossible. our reporter is still too small, but at least she's on a level with janik. well, more or less in northern europe, the summer solstice keeps the skies bright for almost 24 hours. and for some,

this is a time to celebrate in latvia revelers mark the occasion with a festival honoring saint john. it's a party that goes on all night long, the it's the late fee and festival. the face of saint john, the absolute highlight of the year. every year on the night of the 23rd to the 24th of june, the summer solstice is celebrated. like this all live at like the, the, the what's the background will show you what it's all about. and the traditions involved yeah, at this point this festival is timeless, family, friends, neighbors, we all get together to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. and so i think the thing and it must be a, this festival is called legal or jani. the tradition is thousands of years old to

you and kids don't go about a 150 kilometers west of the capitol riga. the festival has been in full swing since 8 pm one day earlier. organize the youngest woods, robo st. here on the right, started with the preparations, including an important bun file. he learned the tradition from his mother. one of the festivals, most important customs is waving flower rates. anything that grows wild in nature or in the garden is allowed. the and eating homemade sees the singing folk songs to the, the land, of course, dancing together. everyone takes upon young and all the rates. so to keep away bad

luck and the evil energy they called women and girls, wherever aids of flowers, herbs and grass, and the men wherever eats of oak leaves. and do you have to pick the plants yourself? legend says that herbs and flowers picked and the go have magical healing powers. your motion if that i see so that you can make a very good t from these flowers shy, even when it strengthens the immune system, right. more than that searching. very, as sun eon is, has been organizing the festivities here for 4 years. last year there were $200.00 guests this year. there are already 300 new to all kind of showing you that i'm not nervous or stressed yet the court, but slowly as dell is saying that goes kind of we should always do the best we can . but in then there's no reason to be novice, empty bit booklets. you've done your best deal. most of the most and other

customers to decorate everything with birch branches. they to us set to keep evil spirits and negative energy at bay, and especially gathered from the forest. whatever the weather, the feast of saint john is always celebrated outside. that's why it's important to have enough wood for the cans plant it burns through the night and keeps the celebrants warm and awake. now falling asleep here because that could bring bad luck. even the little ones cottage all night long. the shortest night and left the is also a unique experience. most of the show in normandy is in mystery. it's construction alone is perplexing a monastery perch the top of a steep crag in the middle of a big bully, reachable at low tide. it's a unesco world heritage site, and one of france's most popular destinations it looks like a movies and,

but this island actually exists. you'll find a norman de france most i'm a show, as it's called, is a social media sensation. font doesn't live up to the hype, and all you are aware of it's many secrets. yeah, it's like, wow, how did they build it? maybe there's a get seemingly built on thing that, that i'm of that going to, the building is beautiful. the way it was built with a wall already around it, filled out the roots, you can see it in a while since when sky limits are way you can see which will open it's just somebody available. months i michelle was one of the most difficult construction projects at the middle ages. and when visiting today, a can get very dangerous, but more on that light to those who do arrive unscathed can discover many secrets that oh, i'm guiding. yeah, they are most sense in all 9 years and those keys i'm going to still use you

come across the 2 kilometer long bridge to the island at low tide by foot or shopping boss. around $3500000.00 visitors come here every year. so it can get pretty crowd, it might take you to come january or december. so it gets very, very quiet. you feel like most loan, the village. and you can also utilize the landscaping and impulse in science as well, which is a fight to 6 section of this is the west terrace, where you'll find the abbey church entrance. it was built on this hill from the 11th century on which many buildings are built, all stacked on top of each other. out today jesus back in the day. the possibilities. how they've been such buildings on the mount here. i will send you said he is like a, a row keep cone, something like a pyramid. we are almost on the summit,

at 18 inches above the sea level. i try to imagine you a system of flat boats according to the tides, those mid even the desk, bruised all the construction materials on those flood boats about she's actually from different places of normandy, even from england. there's a huge hunk difference between low and high tide in the bags, sometimes by as much as 14 meters at low tide. you can walk to the island across the title flats, but it's best to go with a guided group. otherwise it can get dangerous. i don't venture via says into the day because in the past even quite suppressed mc people's guns to get stuck in the bed because of those quick sens. and you have still a big proportion of water inside, gets like a search in effect. the tide is coming in, she'll know if she can't get out of those. you know,

potentially quick sense that could be to interest me. shout. abby combines romanesque and gulf economy tanked, and there were plenty of secrets waiting to be discovered yet. but 1st, um, leads us to the store and now the different facets that to, that everybody's gets to see actually we're gonna go higher into the yeah the, the. ringback so we are now on the terrace of the quiet of the church. these flying buttresses are typical of caustic architecture without carrying weight on the outside. one of them is actually a passage way. this is here. this on a flying buttress. the lace staff case like lace dissolving into

the granite and that's 1st base to back into the did ages here. so you have actually here almost to the top of the mount, the only access to the bed tower, to see on the left and finally, yak, engine, stop my turn on the very top used or so as a lightning bolt protecting against the potential. the storm was lightning here because that's what goes to damages in the past. a 1000 years ago, benedictine monk slipped to you. many sentries. today the island is mainly a tourist attraction. but in the middle ages, schools of pilgrims brought to the island. the cas want a few monks and nuns actually still live here today. actually 5 most and 7 loans all together with and that having are services 3

times a day. it's like a the convention french government to do services incidentally. and in exchange to have a place called in a private, obviously. and lastly time to reveal mon sammy shells. doc is secret. to isolation, sells the lock up, particularly serious offenders from the french revolution. until the year 1863. the abbey was used as a prison. he can see here, descriptions of the present, as at stacy, a full blown blown. how was a long days of detention from the prison system in different places. imagine how fully twice to

stay here, the march of what has happened on the island over the different sentries is yet to be researched and some things will remain forever unknown. and so the most i michelle remains a deeply mysterious place the in the u. k. there are many traditions surrounding food and food etiquette, and one involves cream cheese. you may think this is simply cream in your team. a visit to southern england taught us much more about this. british favorite queen sized desperately. the job, korea jump cream safe and then this is the age old question when it comes to cream t a british institution, that is loved everywhere in the u. k. hi,

my name's lindsay england drawn from way of his cottage de golden. and today i'm going to show you how we make it bring to you kevin, devon. and if you don't know what that is, well, it's a light meal consisting of flooded cream, fruit jam, and a freshly baked scum. ingredients for sconces very basic. and those include salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar, butter, lemon, milk, and flour. step one, the dry ingredients, flour and salt into the bowl with baking powder. step 2, very code lotsa, which you chopped into the fold. mix it together to foam, very following bread crumbs. step 3,

sugar met with warm, you'll know until the middle you add a squeeze of lemon juice, and then you would add one teaspoon of vanilla extra to the milk as well. and then you start to add 2 milk. yeah, so gradually i do medicaid, and that's the time because what you don't want to do is make no mixed over what step 4, you also need a cookie cutter like this to cut your day with. once the dough is thinking ready, it's time to cut it into individual stones and put them in the oven for 10 minutes at $220.00 degrees celsius for until the tops are cold and brown. the most important condiment is the clotted cream. but what is that exactly? clotted cream is a thick cream, made with full milk. having the k, we don't make it, we just go to the shop and buy it in any type of supermarket. it tastes like

buttery women to create. there's also a longstanding argument about the pronunciation of skunk. so i called at the school . my husband paused, so like to ma, tomatoes needs as well have ice cream cheese can be enjoyed at any time of day. what's your favorite teen and not coffee. here in devon county, unlikely cornwall locals put the cream on 1st and then jam. but. okay, unsuspecting brits tells a different what's 1st to joe? no, the top. no i did find out what i would say. i recognize for you he did. he got it. he got it type really, totally different. yeah. so our blind taste

testing was inconclusive. jam 1st for cream 1st, really doesn't matter. in the, in this british treat is delicious. either way, the next step we travel back in time to examine the history of the spartans. to find out more about this infamous warrior society, we travel to the pennies peninsula situated in the south of modern day greece. there you can still find many traces of spartan culture, most notably their language, which residents strive to keep a live, a sparta. a legendary place in the southern peddler, pony. the ancient city state was once the most formidable military force in the greek world, protected by the teacher, tooth, and part on mountain regions. sparta wished, like a fortress. it's been almost a part of an i'm your max reporters here durham mecropolis. as of today,

i'm following the trace of the spartans who lived here over 3000 years ago. i saw where they, nathan, the today's part as a group town with just over 16000 residents. but the history of the aging spartans is everywhere. statues of spartans, heroes can be found all over the city. the most famous is not a king, not just the 1st, who ruled in the 5th century b. c, and fell in the bottom left or modeling in the 2nd person more. outside the city center didn't between all the trees by the remains of ancient sparta. the income on hard, on the smith's date, there's not much to be seen as a spartan. mine is the one thing has survived here at the millennium, but it was 3rd language in the southern. california is people still speak psycho in the language of spartans and stuff. so i'm going there to coney and it's a dialect. it's now only spoken by a few 100 residents in a laconia, an arcadia regions. it has its origins and the ancient greek dialect, dorian,

which is wise aconia and sounds very different to modern greek. keeping to coney and from dying out his teacher, panos americans, his goals. interesting that i lost that to him if you grew up with 2nd in for what does it feel like to speak such an ancient languages? yeah. maybe they can use them believe, to be honest, i wasn't really conscious of it to them because it was my mother tongue and i use it every day. from the moment i found out that i speak one of the oldest languages around. i was very proud of that and i absolutely want to keep this language alive . ethical family who are from the left is in the cost of religion. keith thomas, my nephews teaches the coney into children, youth, and adults. today it's the youngsters turn the,

as he understand the greek herd really well because i speak create insight into calling in i don't. standard child children have good reason to learn the dialect. my life's journey. so connie, and because my grandma and grandpa speak it now i can understand what they're saying. yes, this is what do these these now we know how to start in october about what to date and get started increasing to start to be quite simple. i'm on my way to discuss the northwest of sparta there as arrange to meet with the shaft, to call my child restaurant, who's going to prepare a real spartans specialty for me? hopefully, not the infamous blood soup. hello. why should i be worried about eating the blood soup? no, don't worry. what luck?

no blood. just a variation on a well known greek dish. each party. yeah. so the story of this dish has its origins and ancient spartans along the copying the finance, or some of those have been, i mean, the greeks wanted to eat something up with, give them strength. m c, v, a. it's a combination for fluids and vinegar. gave them the energy to fight well very well . this meant nipple, heat developments are good strong. i mean, it gives us a chance to interpret the various components in a contemporary way above the off the tier support is cure defense and the vinegar is replaced by fermented cracked. we've called truck enough in nevada. save me with the ha, the now i'm very excited to give it a try it's. it's my, the mm. is the issue for them to off on this. the timing is from the truck. i know it makes it taste great. it's a little strong. i'm submission,

except to hit all the ancient spartans much traces which luckily can still be found some 3002 years on. and we can almost imagine them also enjoying a beautiful sunset like this one. and with that, we come to the end of another show, be sure to follow us on social media for more stories from the world of culture and lifestyle. thanks for tuning in enjoying this again to the
