the 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 semi show in french. and what comes 1st cream for jam joined us for traditional cream tea in the south of england. all this and more coming upon your own macs the . but 1st we start with a record breaker. germany's tallest man, young and kind of good, 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 to get home. what do you see really 2 meters? 25 tall. we measure him. but our reporter is too short. she suggest 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, he can fit through any standard door or into any normal car and ready made clothes had been too small for him for 10 years. i

honestly give it to them. so yeah, that's difficult to say. i actually only have custom made to show it since what is what i can do by travis actually there's still one or 2 shots, then by the end, exactly. one shop, a 3 hours drive from hanover stocks shoes in his size. several studies have shown that consuming milk stimulates growth as a child. janik did in fact lead up to 24 yogurts and re 12 leaders of milk a week that kind of humid off and so about the calorie requirement is always measured according to weight and size on the when you install your automatically carrying around a set number of kilo's steps auto plaza. in fact, i'm on a diet 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 this virtual fos. things you know my them? well, i tend to think it's a normal angle. mitchell. i've also checked if life expectancy is higher or lower, i guess nowadays with motor medicine, i should probably live to the same age as someone who's on it to me just told by me those are. 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, i do. i chose, of course, the toilets, jim and his 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. then i wouldn't just be the total this person in germany, but also the told is bunny builder in the well as

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 are 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's is up 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. so 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 tech talk myself guys, what do you say? do you think i could drive the car? i inclusive stuff showing up. so the plan is to exploit the size thing professionally. to the point that one day we're talking with film roles for that advertising rose to some brands or advertising deals, or vase or box, whatever for that. but the key gardener's attention and an income through social media. but that's not all. it's helped his self esteem as well in terms of how much of those be bullying and stupid comments in the past. joined baby and the like

a but i think maybe that had to happen to make me go and today towards the day i've been this, been a 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 lab fee, and festival the face of saint john, the absolute highlight of the every year on the night of the 23rd to the 24th of june, the summer solstice is celebrated like this whole life. it like the,

the, what's the background, we'll show you what it's all about and the traditions involved of the yeah, this is thorns. 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 left the, this festival is called legal or jani. the tradition is thousands of years old. chief and kids don't go about a 150 kilometers west of the capital riga. the festival has been in full swing since 8 pm one day, only a organize of janice woods, robo st. here on the right, started with the preparations, including an important bun file. he learned the tradition from his mother. the 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 home made cheese, the singing folk songs was the amount of course dancing together. everyone takes part young and all the rates. so to keep away bad luck and able 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 it and the go have magical healing powers to your motion of stiff, better dates, 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 son yon is, has been organizing the best cities here for 4 years. last year there were $200.00 guests this year. there are already 300 new to showing you that i'm not nervous or stressed. and yet the court, but slowly as dell is saying that goes kind of, we should always do the best we can. but then there's no reason to be novice, empty bit booklets. you've done your best, i can deal all those stores to milk and other customers to decorate everything with budge branches they to a 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 cats while it bends through the night and keeps the celebrants warm and awake. no following a sleep here because that could bring bad luck. even the little ones potty all

night long. the shortest night in latvia is also a unique experience. most of the show in normandy is in mystery. its construction alone is perplexing. a monastery perched the top of a steep crag in the middle of a bank fully reachable at low tide. it's a unesco world heritage site, and one of france's most popular destinations. it looks like a movie sense, but this island actually exists. you'll find a norman d fronds, mom's i'm a show, as it's called, is a social media sensation. fonts doesn't live up to the hype and all you. oh wow. it's many secrets. yeah, it's like, wow, how do they build is maybe some good. there's a get seemingly built on thing that, that i model a echo in the building is beautiful. the way it was built with a wall already around it. without the roots, you can see it in

a while. since when stealing lights are way you can see the little window open, it's just unbelievable. i. michelle is one of the most difficult construction projects at the middle ages. and when visiting today, it can get very dangerous. but more on that light to those who do arrive unscathed, can discover many secrets of guide. and yeah, they are most sentient all 9 years. and those keys, i'm going to show you so you can cross the 2 kilometer long bridge to the island at low tide. by thoughts or shopping boss around $3500000.00 visitors come here every year. so it can get pretty crowded. night sydney here is to come january or december. so it gets very, very quiet. you feel like almost alone in the village and you get those who are you just a lot of the landscaping and impulse installments as well, which is

a fight to fix actually left. this is the west terrace where you'll find the abbey church entrance. it was built on this hill from the 11th century onwards. many buildings are built all stacked on top of each other, out today, cheve this back in the day. the possibilities how they've been such buildings on the mount here. and also i'm, you said, is like a, a role 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, amid even the desk bruised all the construction materials on those flood, both ball, she's actually from different places of not monday, even from england. there's a huge 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. don't venture by a says until the day because in the past even quite depressed and see if i can to get stuck in the bed because of those quick sens. and you have still a big propulsion 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 are plenty of secrets waiting to be discovered here. but 1st, i'm leads us to the store and now it's an fastpitch that to that everybody gets to see next and we're gonna go higher in city of the the

so we are now on the terrace of the quiet of do you have a 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. there's on a flying buttress. the lace staff case like lace dissolving into the granite. and that's for space to back into the that ages here. so you have actually here on most to the top of the mouse, the only access to the bed tower to see on the left and finally left hinges, stoplight it on the very top. used also as a lightning road protecting against the potential. the storm was lightning here

because that's what goes big damages. in the past. a 1000 years ago, benedictine monk slipped teeth and many centuries. 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 your services 3 times a day, it's like a the convention french government to do services incidentally, and in exchange, to have a place filled in a private, obviously. and lastly time to reveal mon, sammy shells. doc is secret to isolation, selves to lock up, particularly serious offenders from the french revolution until the year 18. 63.

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, me shell 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 tea, but a visit to southern england taught us much more about this british pay for it. the queen sized desperately, the job, korea, jim cream faced and then with john, 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 a green t here in devon. and if you don't know what that is, well, it's a light meal consisting of cluttered cream, fruit jam, and a freshly baked scum. ingredients for scolding, very basic. and those include salt, picking powder, vanilla extract, sugar, butter, lemon, milk,

and flour. step one, the dry ingredients, flour and salt into the bowl with baking powder. steps you have any codes lotsa which you chopped into the bone. mix it together to foam, very falling, but crumbs. step 3. sugar met with will you'll mail on to them? no. can you add a squeeze of lemon juice? and then you would add one teaspoon of another extra to the milk as well. and then you start to add to milk. yeah, so gradually add your medicaid and the time. because what you don't want to do is make the mixed over what step 4. you'll also need a cookie cutter like best 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 degrees celsius or 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 use a go supermarket. it tastes like buttery with cream. there's also a longstanding argument about the pronunciation of skunk. so i called at the school . my husband paused, scudding, so like tomorrow night says needs as well home 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 on suspecting brits

tells a different what's 1st for joe who have no idea why that was i would say, john, i recognized for you. ok he did. he got it. he got type, really totally different yet. so our blind taste testing was inconclusive. jammed 1st or cream 1st, really doesn't matter. in the end, 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 traveled to the peloponnesian 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 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, twist and turn on mountain regions. sparta wished like a fortress. it's been almost a part of an i'm your max reporters here durham mecropolis. today, i'm following the traces of the spartans who lived here over 3000 years ago, last time we were the only thing that today's part as a group town with just over 16000 residents. but the history of the asian spartans is everywhere. statues of spartans, heroes can be found all over the city. the most famous is not a king. the united is the 1st who ruled in the 5th century b. c, and fell in the bottle for 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 date, there's not much to be seen as a spartan. mine is just but one thing has survived through the millennium, but it was 3rd language in the southern california. these people still speak psycho in the language of the smart one song, so i'm going there to coney and it's a dialect. it's now only spoken by a few 100 residents. laconia, an arcadia regions. it has its origins and the ancient greek dialect story, which is wise aconia and sounds very different to modern greek keeping sa 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 language? yeah, maybe they couldn't use them, but we have to be honest, i wasn't really conscious of it to them because is it was my mother tongue and i used 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 now. yeah. he left this in the coast, the village of key hock, panos, manassas teaches to coney into children, youths and adults. today it's the youngsters turn the, as he understand, the grief heard really well because i speak greek. if i didn't check on it, i don't stand a child. the children have good reason to learn the dialect. i likes or needs to connie, and because my grandma and grandpa speak it, now i can understand what they're saying get the system is really the fees. now we know how to start in october about or want to date, guess start increasing the start to be

quite simple. i'm on my way to discuss the northwest of sparta there, of arrange to meet with the shaft tacoma child restaurant, who's going to prepare a real spartan's 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 black, 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 spartan. i'm copying the finance just kind of living. i mean, the greeks wanted to eat something up with give them strengths and ma tv. it's a combination of 4 fluids and vinegar, gave them the energy to fight well, vivia, this meant nipple he develop. instead gastronomy gives us the chance to interpret the various components in a contemporary way of the after the here the park is cure. discussing the vinegar

is replaced by fermented cracked. we've called cross enough in nevada saving with another from now i'm very excited to give it a try. it's my the me. sorry i missed your phone. i'm 12. i know this, the 10 minutes from the truck. i know it makes it taste great. it's a little strong, i'm submission to hit all the intern 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 soon. the,
