festival in the world is underway in munich, in southern germany, besides beer, pretzels are one of the most popular treats. but what goes into them and why are they so popular there? we got the inside scoop from a german baker. human kind is created so my chronic shapes, the pyramid, the will, the cube, and the print so the front so yes, the print so in germany, no other bait good stands for the bakers cross like the press. so you can tie yourself in knots, but you can't escape it every way and every variation. and even most so in southern germany where a day with that, pretzels is like and nights without the 11th. and i always liked the country without them. it's a piece of culture. once i'd say, i'm a pretzel fan, who exactly invented the pretzel and gave them that unique shape. we'll get to that

later. but 1st, how do you, vague pretzels, even on this there's no agreement. variance and slaves have their own variations, which one is better is a topic of debate. the 1st to present its case is the bavarian pennsylvania sebastian birth of my is the 6th generation of his family to bake pretzels. for me, personally, for me personally, it's the shape that represents the bavarian baker's craddick. the dough is made of white flour, water east, and a blend of salt molds and moderate. first, the doe is portion doubt, then rolls and loops into the truck or not with touch ups by hand. in many bakeries, machines do most of the work, not least because work is increasingly hard to come by. john baker, when the area

a baker, definitely has to know how to loop a pretzel. it's part of our certification exam. so how does it work? it's easy for a mazda, thank god. i can teach it to you in 5 minutes. it's not that hard associated. is i'm a good, it goes like this that and this isn't totally easy business diagnosis. what really fascinated people the most is the looping sling. and while off to the prices rise, they get included with a diluted soda life solution, which is why they sometimes called ly pretzels, but isn't so, don't lie, a bit dangerous. logan's, i use it's in the fly is actually caustic. yeah. but in the oven, a high temperatures initiate a chemical process that converts the original lie and to a non toxic salt. and that's why when you touch the surface of a live product with the tip of your tongue, it tastes a bit salt, like even before you sprinkle salt on it and the uniform shape, the chest,

not brown. and of course, the splits and across from the baking. that'll adds up to the typical bavarian pretzel. and what about this way be and variation where of the district got where our dressler is a full generation mazda baker? personally, i prefer a lie roll, pretzels is no problem, but this is about pretzels, it's way beyond as everywhere they start with does. but with more modern and then the bavarian ones, the most obvious difference is the shape especially noticeable in what's called the belly and beyond. the reach because i guess maybe the most important thing about the sway being pretzel is the thin arms that later turn crispy while the belly is nice and fluffy. and then turns out soft. we've got an elf devices. the final and

decisive step comes off to the press who has been coated with lice. it's just me now you make a cut and that leaves the belly white because no light comes in contact with it. we're kind of loving colors. and that's what defines this way being pretzel, which means this isn't. and when you eat one, it's country contacts. the pretzel shape is thought to be over a 1000 years old, having evolved over time from a run and ring to the present day version. today's press, those range from savory to sweets, escape kind of there's no time of day when you don't even credit bills and so you can eat them any time and all the time. the variance, for instance, might 8 them with a traditional v, o sausage for breakfast, or 2, and i've tried the best way beings enjoy them, but upfront, so for instance, at any time of the day, they're also popular. be owns us,

especially in the united states. german immigrants introduced them to the country over 300 years ago. but the debate continues about which is the pretzels, top and bottom. we're now often leo in northern france, where every year on the 1st weekend and september, the city is transformed into a huge flea markets, collector shoppers and tourists from all over the world head there. and we were there to these people aren't just that an ordinary shopping event. there in europe, the largest fully market and leave in northern france. the annual market is a paradise for bargain hunters and vintage lovers. but what makes the gone for the lead and so special. what does this roost are doing here? we answer the most frequently asked questions. hi, i'm valentina, and today on your guide,

the europe's launches on the market today would all come out of the go. valentino voice is a digital content creator. she's passionate about all things. second hand, she hasn't missed a single because of the east and she moved to lead from italy 5 years ago to study . what exactly is the least that's what i'm going to do. this is a historic marketing dating back to the 12th century. to do today, there are some 8000 vendors here. yeah. we're expecting more than 2000000 visitors or not. you can literally get lost here. so player $250.00 from the they don't but nothing seems to deter the numerous visitors. many come from abroad to leave for the 2 day event. the come out, i'm. are you happy with the blogs you boss, you? are you are a bomb?

went to the gigantic flea market takes place in the shadow of leaves, 17th century flemish architecture. what can you buy there? no new. we're in the house of the how does he watch? this is where people from views sell their own stuff because i absolutely love the vintage and secondhand clothes. i'm always dressed and 2nd times myself says the, let me just close you can buy, you can find all kinds of things at the bottom of the books, decorative objects, games, even sometimes things that are quite bizarre. and then this particular visa, the, what's the craziest thing that you can find there. the other way you can find so

many bizarre things on, for example, this stuff through stone, measure the miles, the seller bounce it and he said he didn't end up being slow. so it'll probably sound that's good to leave the house about 45 years to come on some cool people, some of the times of hunting. like to have this kind of thing to decorate the country homes. i wouldn't buy it. it's not really my style the may be a dream for bargain hunters, but not everything here is exactly cheap. the most expensive thing you'll see is there also emptiness here, who so rattled, checked, so collection company, for example, jewelry, luxury, clothing, statues, paintings. and of course, those are much more expensive then you tell me

a bit about the history of this lovely. i'll check and see. it's a glance in the art deco style. it was created in the 1930. i'm selling it for 550 euro on 550. yours is quite a high price. so the next piece of the vast array of brick, a brack is mind boggling. valentino meanwhile has bound to vintage pieces for her wardrobe. it's a bit of a size i i think it represents my style really well. these are the symbols, the nice deal at the part of the see you next to the next step were off the south eastern europe to albania. the small country has just under $3000000.00 inhabitants,

and that makes it in insight are temper travelers in europe developed and republic has lost on offer, majestic mountains and areas which have largely been on, touched by mass tourism. this is not the law, this is in scotland or norway and no business in switzerland either fis decided bain. yes. a country that has all of that. and much more. one of your best kept secrets for a long time i being i wasn't expecting to see positive feedback outside of it was seen as who i'm not even from a know but over the past 2 years on the tourist arriving. so what's changed and what's the venue like the template, and i take you on the road trip through the country and show you how to get their own on my schedule for the next 2 days, the chest and across the mountains. for now though, i'm off to the capital to run this wind off, i've been, you know, meet the south side pena, tradition needs maternity nature meets night life here on as the how to and kind of

a square is right. and it said, if you want to get out of here on a and discover the rest of the brain you, you can adhere to the bus station. think about this can take you to almost every calling off of a schedule is always the easiest on a center and they don't necessarily stick to any specific time. so it's best to ask those of us themselves. we're always happy to help if you are confident drive us and willing to take risks, you can also get their own for parental costs. like i did. let's go. the most important driving rules. don't be shy with a horse. i barely has never been particularly prosperous, and in the 1990 the country slipped into an economic crisis, causing many, yet to lose all office savings. today the prospect of achieve vacation a trip,

so many tourists to have been yet new hotels springing up everywhere and the beaches of being prepared for hearts of tourists. over the years it has become increasingly easier to get here and enjoy the sea and sun without breaking the bank. but the rice of tourism has also changed the country rates or conservation versus economic development. it is for this tourism. this debate experience is being made up all across ibm software. for example, an apple is 20 being built in the midst of a texas landscape. i'm looking for nature and adventure. and now i'm on my way north to scott, from the ruins. so for us i, for castle, i watched the sunset, the number of choices here, and the cash was sent off and off on a bang. yeah, it's manageable entrance. so the cost of cost 3 years 50. and the view is priceless

based mountains back. that would be our next stop. and to resend asked relief pretty early in the morning because the ferry across the kamani to pots from here on you once a day, the crossing to the other shore, fiesta takes 2 and a half hours. it's a bit windy. that's easy. why? because the view is just sunday, that what stretches for 34 pin number 2. from for usaa, i continue to the very, in the middle of disc kit and you move to the so called cross mountains. they're called cross mountains because for a long time this region was so cut off that people lift you according to a set of fail loss. but on very, i've been yes just to say for travelers as other destinations in europe. because although the cliche is widespread that i've been yes, sort of crime, it is just the case a that's a woman's happening alone. not only do safety of fun also very well. most of any

assignments have been extremely hospitable. the . i don't have any a surrounded by snow, it peaks, some of them reaching almost 2700 new tests. so i do what would be at the top of every visit us to do list. go for like a lot the best. and we'll send the area and transfer every level of difficulty. however you should be experienced or bring someone with you who is the trails. i'm not always can you mocked. i've been yeah, really has it on, on what nature and i see cities, mountain speeches, sun, snow and all of that spring codes with a sense of adventure traveling. so i've been yeah. might not always be the most straightforward thing, but it's what with it's bring flexibility and a payoff,

decent hiking boots and put up in. yeah. when you about cook list, climate change is arguably one of the greatest challenges facing human kind. dr. artist tyson bierce tech are mixed environmental protection, tangible through his work through interactive and immersive art installation. sets send a strong signal. do you know how much one, single cigarette butts fluids to water and the soil when you try it on the ground? the parts do you realize how much the plastic you have in your hands every day ends up in the ocean? the fits, you know that watching this right now creates as much c o 2 as driving a car for almost 200 meters. the size of your staker. i'm an ecological artist and i work together environmental scientists and

biologists from all over the world during their facts into feeling. just outside i'm saddam and an old paints of factory ties to be a stand curve gather strawberries. scientific data translates this into works, evolves by his side or team of tech and communication professionals. they not only develop the concepts and visual designs, but also help build his projects. the documents creative drive is fueled by the challenges of the climate crisis. most of the time it starts with frustration when i'm really reading our research paper from scientists, and i'm like, why don't i notice i should notice and the whole wilster's notice. and then i think my brain starts to reach out in the creative field, but also in the scientific field. and they start to come together and in a shape wherever we translate the data. and then in the research papers into an art installation that makes you feel those things again. this work addresses the

destruction of the rain forest and is intended to show the area of primeval far as that is being destroyed. second, 5 seconds, every leaf that you can see disappearing. become a transparent and coming back in march, the loss of 128 square meters of rain for us. that's around then soccer fields. a minutes of rain, forest disappearing right now. these statistics my compiled by scientists and collaboration with unesco tie spear sticker helps to see the space of a single cigarette up to 500 liters of horses every day. move in $10000000.00 tons of plastic ends up in the world's oceans every year. and every megabytes of data generates 20 grams of carbon dioxide. the

highest bure sticker on his team develop the prototypes in close cooperation with sciences. it's from a number of pills. the document himself holds. the positions that universities entails amsterdam. his pieces are often designed in such a way that he can produce them in various sizes. we have a strong prototype face, and that's the best part in the studio where we turn it down for the 1st time. we're like, okay, it works to because the range view empathy or when it communicates the issue that's the moment 0, we all realize that, ok, we're doing exactly why that should do what's called treason clone saying, how do they communicate with each other? and can they provide us with information to tie spear stickers where it can be seen all over the road with his all he hopes to inspire people to help save the planet. i think when you combine the factual and the emotional side, it will start to create action, you know,

quicker way it will provoke action. and i think that's our jump right now in this time, an age where before to fax, now it's time for action and beers, deckers pieces do just times the robots to react, to show whether and how the environment in a certain region is recovering. its the works of all that is a growing glimmer of hope for the planets, the ups up another edition of your own max. be sure to follow us on social media for more from the world of european lifestyle and culture. thanks for joining us. and until next time, the
