the place people worldwide, these are some of the stories. the was the doors, the scoring we say they were about never giving up sports like every weekend on dw, 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 mac. 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 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 you can fit through any stand or 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 t shirts since what is what i can do by trousers? 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, angry 12 leaders of milk

a week. that kind of theme it off. it's all about 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 on a died at the moment and can or shoot on the 8 between 200-2500 calories a day. for me, a name that's no more than an average man consumes that just under one meter, 80. as a description of things and some of them are, well i tend to think it's a normal language mitchell. i've also checked if life expectancy is higher or lower, i'm 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, the right 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. 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 turkey sultan cruise on is considered the tallest person currently live at 2 meters, 51, 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, this is

kind of no i don't have a girlfriend and i don't usually have any priorities concerning the height of a future girlfriend. carrots is more important and what's also very difficult is 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. 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. cell guys, what do you say? do you think i could drive the car?

i'm consist of shortened up. so the plan is to exploit the size, the professional link, 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 a but i think maybe that had to happen to make me land today towards the dab. and it'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 let the in festival the faith 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. all like that, like the the, what's the background? we'll show you what it's all about. and the traditions involved yeah, this describes this festival is timeless, family, friends, neighbors. we all get together to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. and so i took the thing and then left the, this festival is called legal or jani. the tradition is thousands of years old to

you in cars, down to about a 150 kilometers west of the capitol riga. the festival has been in full swing since 8 pm one day early, a organize of janice woods, robo st. here on the ride, started with the preparations, including an important bun file. he learned that tradition from his mother. one of the festival was 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, the amount of cost dancing together. everyone takes upon young and all the rates. so to keep away bad luck into evil energy. they called women and girls,

wherever aids of flowers, herbs, and grass. and the men wherever eats of oak leaves. sorry. and you have to pick the plants yourself. legend says that herbs and flowers picked and the go have magical healing powers. your motion to fit a suit to the door. you can make a very good t from these flowers dry even when it strengthens the immune system. dr. martin, that searching various son, 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 that way. plus slowly, as dell is saying that goes kind of, we should always do the best we can. then then there's no reason to be novice, empty bit booklets. you've done your best deal all the store to milk and other customers to decorate everything with birch 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 word for the cancer while it bends through the night and keeps the celebrants warm and awake. no folding sleep here because that could bring bad luck . even the little ones potty all night long. the shortest night and left the a is also a unique experience. most of the show in normandy is states in mystery. its construction alone is perplexing. a monastery perched atop 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 it in norman d fronds. mom's. i'm

a show, as it's called, is a social media sensation. font doesn't live up to the hype and on your way now it's many secrets. yeah, it's like, wow, how did they build is maybe good. there's a get seemingly built on thing that, that i'm of the echo in 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. defense when sky limits are way you can see which will open. it's just unbelievable most i'm a shell 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. i'm guiding. yeah, the most sense in all 9 years and those keys, i'm going to still use scripts. you can cross 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 we can get pretty crowded nights if you use to come january or december. so it gets very, very quiet. you feel like almost below the village and you get to so you just a lot of the landscape is because the and impulse insides as well, which is a fight to fix 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 with 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. uh, hold on. you said it was 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 need even the death throes all the constrain, send the tires on those floodlights. well, she's actually from different places of normandy, 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 tangled flats, but it's best to go with a guided group. otherwise it can't get dangerous. don't venture, they assess until the day, because in the past, even quite for some feet, people's guns to get stuck in the bed. because of those quick sends 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 get out of those. you know,

potentially 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 leads us to these don't know the different facets that everybody gets to see. we're gonna go higher into the the. ringback so we are now on the terrace of the choir of the church. these flying buttresses are typical of coffee cock attacked and 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 was space to back into the did ages here. so you have a city here unless to the top of the mount. the only access to the bed tower to is he on the list. and finally, yak, engines stopped, may turn on the very top, used also as a liking road protecting against the potential the stores lightning here. because that's what goes big damage using the best. a 1000 years ago, benedictine monk live t as a many center is. today, the island is mainly a tourist attraction. but in the middle ages, schools at pilgrim's fault 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, dislike of the convention, french government to do services, incident and in exchange to have a place called in the privates. 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 1863. the abbey was used as a prison. he can see here the descriptions of the prison as at stacy, a full blown blown. howard is a long days of detention some of the prison and share your thoughts in different places. imagine how 40 twice to stay here.

much of what has happened on the island over the different centuries is yet to be reset just and some things will remain for ever 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 pay for it. the queen sized desperately, the job, korea jump cream faced and then this is the age old question when it comes to cream team, a british institution that is loved everywhere in the u. k. by by 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 cluttered cream, fruit jam, and a freshly baked scum. ingredients, the scones is 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. steps you have any codes lotsa which you chopped into the boat. mix it together to foam, very falling, but crumbs. step 3. she'll got met

with will you'll milk until the mail. can you add a squeeze of lemon juice? and then you would add one teaspoon of vanilla excess to the milk as well. and then you start to add deals. milk. yeah. so gradually out to me. okay. and it's 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 this to cut your day with. once the dough is thinking ready, it's time to cut it into individual scouts. 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 argument about the pronunciation of skunk. so i called at the school . my husband paused. so like to offer 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, i have no idea why that will. i would say i recognize pretty fast. okay. he did. he got it. he got it. type really totally different. yet the so our blind taste test was

inconclusive. jam, 1st, or cream 1st, really doesn't matter. in the, in this british street 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 peloponnesian opinion till that 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 teachers and pern on mountain regions. sparta wished like a fortress. it's been almost a part of the 9 year max reporters here durham mecropolis. each of these, today i'm following the trace of the spartans who lived here over 3000 years ago,

myself, where they need things to base part as a group town with just over 16000 residents. but the history of the aging spartans is everywhere. statues have scar, this 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 dismiss all day, there's not much to be seen of as barton 9 is that the one thing has survived through the millennium, but it's a 3rd language in the southern california. these 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 and a lot cornea and are continue regions. it has its origins in the ancient greek

dialect, dorian, which is wise aconia and sounds very different to modern greek. keeping to coney and from dying out of his teacher panels, americans, his goals system that i lost as soon as you grew up with 2nd in this is what does it feel like to speak such an ancient language? yeah. maybe they couldn't use them both, 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 and i absolutely want to keep this language alive f for family who was i'm a very lucky in the coastal village of key hoc panos, my masters teaches to connie into children, youths and adults today it's the youngsters turn the, as he understand the grief her really well because i speak greek,

didn't to call it. i don't stand to jail. children have good reason to learn the dialect. i life there needs to connie and because my grandma and grandpa speak it. now i can understand what they're saying. is if these now we know how to start, oh, come about. so what did they get start 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 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 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 copying the finance. just an existing thing, i mean, the brakes wanted to eat something done with give them strengths, 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. developing gastronomy gives us a chance to interpret the various components and a contemporary way of the off the here, the park is cured, distressing the vinegar is replaced by fermented cracked, we called tri, cannot signal total savings, but another ha, now i'm very excited to give it a try, it's my the, me. yes. so i got an issue for himself on this. um the set, 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 intern spartans,

much traces which luckily can still be found some 3000 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 the
