too, we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here and please find your mind. so all the topics i'm much at 2 from couple talk fixed a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together, parts of our community life on the research is now on the germans and there are potatoes and insatiable loves that run deep rethinking classical music child was able to latch away and his cross cultural composition. and instagram versus reality, does amsterdam live up to its social media reputation? all that and more coming up on your own max. the

weather is roasted potatoes, potato salad, or french fries. germans loves their potato dishes. you can find this advertising spread in every form with most german meals, euro macs, reporter, hunter, homo takes a deep dive into germany's potato culture. what makes these dishes? so german, a potato. why potatoes? well, german simply loved them. they crop up in many traditional dishes, and weirdly enough potato is often used as a slang term to describe germans themselves. other, some do take this as a bit of an insult. but when it comes to the ways the potatoes are grown, picked and eaten,

there are certain rules. this is germany after all. so let me give you the loaded. first things 1st, we have to clear something up. even though germany sees itself as the land of the potato, the plato did not, in fact originate here, but rather in the andes, inside the america, the potato came to europe in the 16th century. but it took some time before there was large scale cultivation in germany. some $270.00 potato varieties of about 5 size and known worldwide are approved for plunging and germany. most of them have salmon and names like valona gala and linda. some people say they were named after the farmer's daughter's. if you're ever visiting germany here, some protections issues, you need to try roast potatoes, mashed potatoes. it's a, it's a fritters. and of course, potato salad, potato salad with vienna sausages. that hardly gets any more german than that to some it's even the obligatory dish for christmas eve dinner. the average german

eats around $56.00 kilos of potatoes every year. that's about 280 survey. a lot to project to. to give you an example of just how much germans love chose. my german grandmother sent me a whole package of them in the posts from her own guidance. germany, harvest the highest number of potatoes in the year, and the even rank 6 in the whole world. not bad, right. let's take a closer look. every year on his family farm near berlin, sebastian class harvest loads of potatoes and sells them in his own farms doors. so he knows which potatoes the germans like best. but generally speaking in germany, they love the very dark yellowish tighter in other countries. they want all that hasn't been white's old very pale color. and we've got one salt,

it's actually red on the outside and it's dark yellow in the inside. and that's laura. i was your personal relationship to potatoes. i really enjoyed, of farming with potatoes. it's a lot of fun and all so this, digging him out is like chasing golden targets. that sounds like something everyone should try once by 1st one. normally a machine would do the work, but here the 1st right potatoes are painstakingly harvested by hand in early summer . then there sorted unpacked into boxes in case you find yourself invited to german household for dinner. here are some very important potato related words for you have to or cut off a piece. this is the shortened version for mashed potatoes, which is very often used by children make on the fest coffee and flowery and farm.

this refers to the different types of potatoes because you can use every potato for every dish. palmas are flipping short farm for problems. good, which is french fries. now that we've learned so much about them, it's time to finally eat some potatoes. i'm using someone who knows how to prepare them and the most delicious way of a head chest. me cook limone no is potatoes so hard to germans prefer them just simply the classic boiled potatoes tossed in butter and sprinkled with herbs and salt. and that's all mostly done well after that comes the mashed potatoes and with potatoes with you. well, what should like to watch for when preparing potatoes can speak to the stuff one is very important to steep them in cold water. don't toss them in boiling water because then they'll get motion means cold. lowery potatoes gets on when boiled and low starch, potatoes get firm. those are the ones used for fried potatoes or soups in the flowery ones are for mashed potatoes. if means well,

there you have it, the world of the potato in germany. i had so much fun harvesting them for the 1st time today. and now i have even more respect for the hard work that goes into them . chose tables salon to a combines traditional african music with classical composition, creating a powerful blend of sounds. the aims to inject new life into classical music and is pushing new boundaries in the process. this composer shows us that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. with unbridled energy, south african cellist and compose are able to allow to way in the chain of k orchestra. bring the beat into the concert hall. the

way i come from we tend to not label things in boxes. so when i was given a cello, nobody who said play classical music, you know, immediately somebody say, what sound can you make? and i had to start from the voice. i could make this kind of sound and immediately i started to explore beyond the bounds of, of the channel. in that sense is a thing is actually that i loved to imitate. it's called, um, the what top, it's as a violin from, from era tree. and if your pm and it sounds like a whistle like a flipped sounds like this, the, the chimney, k orchestra, or hers is in london. the musicians learn some of able salon actually is latest compositions. and this is at children,

curiosity. and also the community doesn't really get to witness pretty well. i feel like the survival of classical music is based on a living with other music. i feel like for too long tesco music has been living in its own room with its own people. and i think for it to prosper and for it to be for ever here it takes to live with that is the

only thing in a few language. my fathers is from the north west of south africa and they speak this language, quotes and so on. and we grew up close to the so to so we speak so too, as well. and my mother is able studied shallow at the royal northern college of music in manchester, england, and still lives there. in 2022. he released his debut album and toward the united states with it. when he started learning the cello as a boy in south africa, he didn't have one of his own in practice on a broom to booking. this is where i come from is a place where there's not a lot of money, but there's a lot of creativity. and i think it's a very important aspect of society to be able to make things for yourself if you want something. and if you imagine that, try make it yourself and see how far you get

in the 31 year old is full of ideas on how to conduct an ensemble in a completely different way. a few years back, he was playing as a cellist with the 2 and a k orchestra. today, the orchestra plays his compositions. the thing is extreme, the easy, easy, unique context. and to think that he had a lot going on with the sitting of the tellers section. i had no idea. you know, i just only saw him as a classical dentist. i always knew he had some of the sort of thing going on, but everybody's unique. the

speed isn't always easy to write abels music on paper. so the musicians have to keep practicing the right beat until they get it down. his energy is contagious. and what does that screw myself? what's? what's important? given music, i'm also looking to take away the space between the audience and the performer. we need to solve the boundary in between. so that's what i look for with the music to make people pretty much forget themselves and and be reflective. the agents allowed to a is making his mark in the world of classical music and bringing together the traditions of different countries. with his compositions, the,

the judge, capital amsterdam attract millions of visitors every year with its beautiful houses along the many canals and a world famous by culture. but do the pictures on social media is enough to the real thing. let's find out there is no shortage of amazing photos of amsterdam on instagram in the city. really don't that good in real life. it was a visit. we check out 3 spots that are essentially popular. but let's be honest not to look to cities famous places and they've up to the high amsterdam is one of the most visited cities in europe. on average, the dodge capital sees 20000000 overnight stays by yet. the old town area is especially popular among the unesco world heritage site. in 2010,

you'll find plenty of photos, spots in the city center, including of course, times square the main plaza. how beautiful is it? really? the square is huge. if you're exploring amsterdam, you're sure to pass through it sooner or later times square and got its name in the 17th century when a dime was built across the i'm still river that so so i want to city is cool as to that most important building here is the royal palace which house from the 17th century? from fact, the building is supposed to find 13600 in 59. what in pounds? these things the policy is merely symbolic. no one lives here. more than anything, the square is a place where locals and tourists can enjoy a strong the

way. are you from philadelphia? i came from kentucky. i'm from india. i bought a ton of i'm from city a striking. so what do you think of the central square? yeah, it looks very historical, it's very old, it's kind of great feel to it's very historic. so it's very nice, very different from american india. i think it was very exciting. customer colors in the, the dime is a good place to start exploring the city and you comp miss the next found the bloom and mocked as a well photographs, photo and instagram things too. it's bright, the kind of flowers, but doesn't really look so good in real life. the floating found market is an amsterdam institution. it's been on that single canals since 18. 62. thanks to the internet, the bloom and mox. it's become a major tourist attraction. and what brought you to the uh,

the on the internet and scaling prices to say as one of the hall on start to come into the room and good. uh well to see the 2 ups, of course were here a little late to see the actual to live. so we get some seats. we the we have a wonderful new tote bag. we're very excited about. i just do not see the people and see the impression, however, was that the markets tom has faded. the best sense people seemed annoyed. we found it a bit disappointing. however, tourists were still visiting in drugs one more. so if you visit the market in the spring, they'll catch to next season. if you sometimes the time on instagram, you'll show to see incredible photos that the cities come out. the entire old town is criss crossed by these picture, ask waterways. the best way to expel them is find but the canals were constructed

in the 17th century during the cities, golden age. for the purposes of facilitating the movement of goods. today, you can still have mine any magnificent cable from the houses built by ridgemont trans. during that period, we took a boat till that last 75 minutes and costs 16 years after depot of the cities modern port the to ends in the old town. we think of a trip is a great and relaxed way to get to know and to them and take great photos. so once our conclusions, a photo is definitely worth while and keeps us a chance to take many instagram with the pictures. the same is true the times square, but we won quite convinced by the flower market. perhaps it is better to visit in the spring when the toilets are in full blue. we now move on to the italian ford city of tree. yes, to work coffee has special status here autonomy and drink more coffee than anywhere

else in the country. and they follow a certain etiquette. when consuming this beloved beverage. we got a 1st 10 less a this is how a lot of people start their day with a hot cup of coffee. but are you doing it right on baseball job, please stop, stop. what are we doing now? why are you having some shooting your gap? please, i'm here in italy, the unofficial capital. we want to find out the do's and don'ts of autonomy in coffee cultures. how to make the perfect espresso and what makes treat such a unique place for coffee. and this is marco bizarre. he's a professional roaster coffee expert and my teacher today in all things this press . so tell me the biggest common mistakes people make with espresso. the biggest mistakes is they've permanency ocean express. so is not the right one on this price

. so what's another common mistake? the 2nd one is the way we drink coffee, you can drinking slowly, or maybe you can sprite just the beast of liquids on your phone. okay. okay, so the technician way to find a quote, a gift card. yeah, yeah. would strong. how old are we doing now? why are you having some issue and your job, okay, the problem is that you change the whole months versus what do i do if i want something a little lighter? you can take a couple channel lineup. so this is a very small coverage. you know, this isn't what i'm used to introduce that we use the green couple of chino, like these, towing a small cap. then the main goal is to proceed the bed, the cream as much, but the, as you can and the full body perception have a truck that's

a bit like this week to release its sense at the residence of 3 s. 3 can average of about $1500.00 cups of coffee per year. that's twice than national italian average. for us is the mediterranean main coffee port and a hub for the coffee industry. in the city center, there's a cafe on every corner, and most locals can't imagine a date without their coffee. i like my coffee coal in the summer because i can't live without coffee. so in summer i have to drink it's cold, like this one. go face to get out. i like good. yes press. so the normal one and the yeah i must students. so i need a lot of golf is the way i enjoy my coffee cup when b, which is basically our version of my cattle with which you serve, being uh, small wineglass just for additional of its every story. when it comes to the

roasting process, picking the right beans is essential for a good espresso. so what are we looking for in a good espresso being we are looking for a good quarter or so when we roll. so we're coffee. we need to use and live major profiles because only using this kind of profile, we can e mails, all the rooms inside to be what kind of being is this for us for. so this is a mix of the 2 main coffee species. so we have a 60 percent of veronica and 40 percent of robots. how do i, i, denton fry a bad the stress. so squared, easy to defy a bad is pressure because the more robust that we use, for example, bed robust, the 40, the worst would be the beat turn. this sensation when i worked on, while a tally is loved there coffee, what makes people here, outspoken experts, i think that is one of the most representative themes and our series that our citizens are not properly fee expert box for every day. so they can

have an express, so every morning in a box it's, that's what we do. and that is what gives tree asked it's coffee reputation. this is definitely the place to come for espresso but. 6 are certain things to remember, for example, but remember, the taste is in the tongue of the beholder, the delicacies, stories, enthusiasm. the smell is amazing. the best chef with their best tips, from the dishes, to beacon diet and all the rest of the secrets. welcome to my well, europe's diversity is a smorgasbord, lives the subscriber,

and enjoy d, w. the course. and finally, the sculptures of french artis bruno catalano are made with major elements that are missing, but this is intentional. his works reflect personal stories and hardships he's witnessed over the years. nicholas brung players and to prepare most of the scope to comes to life. this boundary and cuts in southeastern funds is considered by many artists to be the number one address for the completion of networks. one of them is french skilled to play. no catalano the he's known for works, which seemed to lack an essential pounds. the travelers, the name of his series can be seen in many cities across europe. and also need be, was wondering how the scope to this remain standing the testing. so you won't,

that this is achieved by putting all the individual parts together to bobby you and it can be what you have to know where the point of balance is. it is. look when they can even within a p. here it is the foot a don't go back to that. so what if we start from this point? we can well the suitcase to the leg and an arm, and in this way everything is kept in balance. over the years, catalano has portrayed around 400 people in his sculptures. his models often come from the community around him. one of them is a fuller refugee from back to the dash secretary. this is greg. i've worked with them 3 times before. it's the 3rd sculptor i've done with him because of what year did you come to france? correct. and could i mean, could i got 1987 off to costing the individual parts of the scope to oh well this together. the key is funding the vice center

with gravity focus, a lot of his work is also symphonic. i wasn't getting back to say, i liked that. this is a fragile figure. if it sounds better, remain, steadfast, charging me so my personalities are the same way they're fragile. but they're steadfast and want to move forward. even move on to that office is travelers always have a bag or a suitcase with them and seem to be searching off into the, on the, just as his own family. one state. meanwhile, a sense of morning. so i would say once again, this is also my own story with, i mean you've been, you know, i come from a rocco, i also arrived here with a suitcase select settings. it's similar for people from ukraine right now to care for those who think about emigrating from africa. so me is actually where people are forced to leave their homes outside the. there's no way to prevent that. these people leave to find a better future. one of the only, i think you'll have to accept that that it was a new or false and for the executive pay cuts. a loaner was 10 years old when his

family immigrants that you must say, he basically became a cita and then an electrician. it wasn't until he was 30 that he discovered sculpture as his truth location for him out as a means of expressing his personality. the typical holes in his sculptures and the input functions reflect his personal experiences. cuzamano wants to continue to portray as many people as he can for his series the travelers. at the same time, his working on a new project called mirror the suitcase remains as a central motif. 11 useful the suitcase as a constant was made. it belongs to the human being, the point man takes his suitcase and goes in search of new horizons as they say. like his skill to play. no catalano continues to be a traveler,
