a, a, a, 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, join 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 and get home. what do you see really 2 meters? 25 tall. we measure him. but our reporter 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, 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. the

eligibility to themselves. yeah, that's difficult to say, actually only have custom made t shirts and sweat as well. i can still buy trouts. 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 in his size. several studies have shown that consuming milk stimulates growth as a child. janik did in fact lead up to 24 yogurts entry 12 liters of milk a week that kind of humid off. and so the calorie requirement is always measured according to weight and size on the menu and tall 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 in the model and well, i tend to think it's a normal anal coordinate, 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 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, how do i chose? of course the tool this jem 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 tool, this person in germany, but also the tool 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 the 92 are triggered his excessive growth. how tall a person can grow is also a genetic predisposition or part of that. but my father is 196, and my mother is 193 time lawrence's is kind of not i don't have a girlfriend and i don't usually have any priorities concerning the height of a few to girlfriend characters. 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, genic 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'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 roles for that advertising rose to some brands for advertising deals or vision box, whatever. for values, he garner is 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 the oh, what is being 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 let the in festival the face to 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 like that, like the, the, the,

what's the background will show you what it's all about. and the traditions involved. yeah, this is, 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 to you 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 earlier, organized the youngest woods rocha 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 god and is allowed the and eating homemade sees the singing folk songs to the, the land, 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 and the go have magical hewing, pallets your margin of stiff, better suits of authority. you can make a very good cheese from the flowers, shy, even when it strengthens the immune system life more than that. searching very as

sun. 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 tools that are showing you that i'm not nervous or stressed yet the course 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 do a little bush though 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 burns through the night and keeps the celebrants warm and awake. no following his sleep here because back could bring bad luck. even the little ones potty 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 perched the top of a steep crag in the middle of a bank. only reachable at low tide. it's a unesco world heritage site and one of france's most popular destinations it looks like a movie sent, but this island actually exists. you'll find a norman de france, mom's. i'm a show, as it's called, is a social media sensation. font doesn't live up to the hype and all you. oh wow. it's many secrets. yeah, it's like, wow, how did they build it? maybe some good. there's a get seemingly built on thing that, that i'm of an 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 which will open it's just

unbelievable. most i, michelle and was 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 to you is to come january or december. so it gets very, very quiet. you feel like almost a loan, the village. and you can also utilize the landscaping and impulse in science 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 on with 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 roll key code or something like a pyramid. we are almost on the summit at 18 inches above the sea level. i try to imagine we have a system of flat boats, according to the tides. those images of the desk, bruised all the construction materials on those floods. both ball, she's actually from different places of normandy, even from england. there's a huge height 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 seen a big proportion of water inside gets like a soaking effect. the tide is coming in so low. you can't get out of those. you know, potential quick sense that could be the interest. michelle 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 we've been fastpitch that to everybody gets to see next and we're gonna go higher into the uh, the, the

so we are now on the terrace of the quiet of the church. these flying buttresses are typical of coffee, coffee tactics 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 uh huh. that's was space to back into the did ages here. so you have actually here almost to the top of the mount. uh the only access to the tower to is he on the left and finally left, hinges, stoplight it on the very top. used or so as a lightning road protecting against the potential the stores lightning here,

the because that's what goes big damages. in the past. a 1000 years ago, benedictine monk slip t as a 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 your services, 3 times a day, dislike of the convention, french government to do services instead. and in exchange, they 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 18. 63.

the abbey was used as a prison. he can see here, the descriptions of the prison is at stacy a full blown blown. howard is a long days of detention some of the prison system in different places. imagine how 40 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 tea, but

a visit to southern england taught us much more about this. british favorite queen sized desperately. the job cree jumped cream say, and then this is the age old question. when it comes to cream tea, a british institution that is loved everywhere in the u. k. hi, my name's lindsay england drawn from way of his cottage teagarden. and today i'm going to show you how we make the cream t came in 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 scolding, very basic. and those include salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar, butter, lemon, milk, and flour. step one, the dry ingredients,

flour and so into the bowl. with baking powder. step 270 codes lotsa, which 2 chopped into the phone. mix it together to foam very following bread crumbs. step 3 sh about met with will kneel milk on to them. no. can you add a squeeze of lemon juice? and then you would add one teaspoon if another extra to the milk as well. and then you start to add 2 milk. yes and gradually add your me okay. and this to a 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 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 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 type of supermarket. it tastes like buttery women to create. there's also a longstanding arguments about the pronunciation of skunk. so all right, cool. so my husband paused, scudding, so like to my friend, tomatoes 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 okay,

unsuspecting brits tells a different what's 1st for joe? no, i have no idea why that was. i would say, john, i recognized for you. he did. he got it. he got it. type really totally different. yet the so our blind taste testing was inconclusive. jammed 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 for your 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 sparta legendary place. in the southern peloponnesian, 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 was like a fortress. it's been almost a part of an i'm your max reporters here durham mecropolis each of these today i'm following the traces of the spartans who lived here over 3000 years ago. i see where they may think that today's part as a group town with just over 16000 residents. but the history of the aging spartans is everywhere. statutes of scar, this 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's 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 and arcadia regions. it has its origins and the ancient greek dialect. dorian, which is wise aconia and sounds very different to modern greek key things 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. so 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 and i absolutely want to keep this language

alive. ethical family who are from now. yeah, he left, he's in the coast, the village of key hard panos. my math is teach us aconia 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 call it, i don't stand a child. the children have good reason to learn the dialect. i liked her needs to connie, and because my grandma and grandpa speak it, now i can understand what they're saying. get the system as we receive. now we know how to start in october about or what does a guess start including the

start to be quite simple. i'm on my way to discuss the northwest of sparta there, of arrange to meet with the chef, have to call my 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. he's funny, yeah. so the story of this dish has its origins and ancient spartans along copying the finance or sentiment receiving them. the greeks wanted to eat something that would give them strength and ma tv. it's a combination for fluids and vinegar, gave them the energy to fight well, vivia, this meant nimble. he developed and said gastronomy gives us the chance to interpret the various components in a contemporary way of the off the here, the park is cured, the vinegar of is replaced by fermented cracked. we've called truck enough in

nevada saving with another from now i'm very excited to give it a try. it's my me? yes, sorry i missed your phone. i'm 12. i know this. the timing is from the truck. i know it makes it taste great. it's a little strong, i'm submission 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
