prevent the kids from becoming too annoying. and gemini gets abroad. i did the question of santa claus. no, it's definitely not grandpa. it's conventional that a family member address is of the incentive, but in germany kids. so just get that gets the hi, meghan, uh kids have to make it. this is the average german times to spend 507 years and $0.10 on christmas presents for the most popular gift being vouchers and money. 41 percentage gem and say that sucks. and that least favorite is contrary to what you might expect. germans are not likely to admit that the disappointed inc, if for germans christmas eve dinner, is a humble affair with a more lavish meal being said the next day on the 25th in old

christian tradition meant to begin on st. martin's day. on november 11th, and ended on december 24th, which is by traditionally a simple dish is served on christmas eve. the most popular being potato salad and sausages, the most german said that a sense of harmony is important for christmas. the only one in 3 german se they can truly relax over the festive period. the the, the just an hour later all seems to be forgiven. and that's because half of germans believe that christmas is a festival of love the. and with that,

a unique singing style. that's one of the oldest of its kind in europe. the make people to me singing is everything. it's been my passion since i was a boy. i feel it in my heart the sounds may be somewhat unfamiliar with, learn more about the dates origins in the moment. can be simply going to be with here. when everyone's singing and harmony, the bit moved something here in your guys. because i'm just, i'm it comes from the remote mountain villages of the it, tanya, an island of sardinia. it's known as the con to out to norton, and is set to tank back over 3000 years. is positive daily life in many sardinian towns like all goes at all. for example, musicologist diego pony has been studying sardinian pastoral song for several years

. it's been declared an intangible world heritage by you and ask a got the is a party for mixing, realize it by for parts of the because we are a factor of these 4 parts. is that, that the tool was the voices, are made that using overtones in the super monte group breaks down the song for us into its individual voices in the mm hm. so, so much of the current to, to not a remains a mystery, but there's no doubt that it originated among the shepherds and titles, the islands, traditional occupations. it's passed on by the north, on paper. some of the i've always worked in the country around cows. the singing reminds me of cows moving cabs sound very similar while i try to imitate that. it

was the same sound. oh yes. i might say this kind of song was inspired by the sounds of animals, but that really hasn't been proven. the condo often already is sung at certain festivals on holidays and occasionally it concepts. but here it's part of daily life. pop goes inside indian villages, often spontaneously breakouts in song about $3500.00 thing is there active in order of san dania? every village has its own styles, the what role does the singing play among this audience themselves? when the boys, when you get together have some drinks and then hear this, it always gets really quiet and everyone loves it. yeah. it's our tradition when we

carry this thing in our heart part of sardine identity and all those, all those identity to the content belongs to this region. and we're very proud of it. the way the rates were written in the san damian language by son damien powers . they deal with love, friendship, religion, war and peace. how with this and you can be passed on to the next generation to the interior goes still young, 20 years old. it really was still a child when he came to us and learned to sing and families are so we all learn the tradition this way. you can't learn it at any school about whose whole life the origins of the account too often already will always be something of a mystery. but it's an integral parts of son, damien identity that lives on to the present day. time now to head to one of the most beautiful winter paradises in europe,

the swiss resort sent for it. it lies at an altitude of over 1800 meters and is surrounded by stunning panoramas. i'm almost there. all that's left is this mountain past. this time i'm going to be pretty high up in the, in the it's a valley and the swiss alps and it's my very 1st time my destination is st. margaret's. a place that stands for winter tourism like no other st. more. it's used to be a simple farming village, but today you see massive hotels and shop windows with luxury items. the tour guide is only the place to go explained to me that winter tourism was the result of a bed between the hotel owner, 200 spotwood and a group of 4 summer travelers from england. then they made a bit with me. yes. she said, come to se moritz in the winter,

and if you don't like it, i'll pay for your trip from london to saint moritz and back. and if you like it, you can stay at my hotel for free as long as you'd like died. needless to say, he won the bed and as a result, st mertz became a popular trouble destination in winter time to the international competitions. take place in this with mountain town regularly. even the st. lawrence lake is used in winter for a rather unusual events, a pool or tournament. slip out in december. we need about a week of minus 30 degree temperatures every night, ideally without any window, and then it freezes over nicely. it'll be covered in about half meter to one meter of snow. do you have what it is, the name of the sky area, and you're st more it's. we're going to an altitude of almost 3000 meters. and

because i don't have a lot of experience leno's my ski instructor should help me on the slopes the i want to take it slow it 1st. the yes. okay, perfect. perfect. where's the applause leaders? but when it gets a little steeper, i have to put in a lot of effort. and i'm glad when i make it down safely, to me as a beginner fear and sun is pretty close to each other, but this is what makes it challenging. anyway, i won't be the king of the as of today, this is santiago. originally from the going on, the bus has lift and work in the st. moore. it's for many years as

a ski instructor in mountain bike guide. i go on a tour with him, followed by phone to business. what's special about the i can get in for you personally. i'm not a nature because of the gas toronto. me is great. so the ambience, i'm coming to and get in as like entering another world under that the highlight of the tour is cycling through the dark. and of course, the rewards that awaits us. the fund who is calling brought put a few pieces of bread on your plate and philip stab one with your fork. yeah . i just don't kid. so the

ready for the next one. the solution. if you lose your bread, you have to do the washing up. okay, so if you really want to get moving in winter, the and getting is not perfect travel destination for you. but there's not only when to sports action here. that's also something that's increasingly difficult to find to date and remote fee of extra winter days in your or get chilly. there's nothing better than a delicious gould or soup to warm you up. we have now too hungry from where it originated to see how they make this famous signature dish. the

will that is a very simple dish. you want to pays the meat and you want to taste the pump. rico the good quality top quality, but because which is not easy to get your hands on, even in hungry the you have to follow the to the shows just looking for a few hours and give that out as well. the every 2nd week, me me and said with us, with that phone, that's why i say like, as well the time, my name is the sound, so i'm from hungry. i'm the expert that the shipping is probably gonna be the best . and one of the most popular, i've seen each of these condo remind you that the traditional 100 and who do i. so

the be the best thing that out for a 100 and what are we going to be laser and the markets so we can find the way nice to meet the needs and probably the father as well, the progress. so fee was the semester, but as well. so that is the favorite regarding much more each. so i sure that's the basic to finish the bus is available all the time. and the additional some garlic is very important and you're going to buy somebody showing it as well. that's going to be the base of this to so we're going to use the beef cheek. this is one of the most send the parts of me, the me. so after this part of the muscle, the call we use the most the that's why is a, is to the more much more than the drilling

. i've got the nice the actually cubes and the cool things together with the one them based on this very important this wednesday is solely stakes. half an hour. every one, i mean let it be just simple tories from which every part of the read or let me be a 3 me sure. last time chef up from a famous kitchen. everyone who comes to hungry wants to phase the perfect glass. hello. i'm still feeling angry. and fold rather based and pulled up the edge. and i believe that perfect glass is really the best step into the ritual for giving him and all that to me of the glass is a complicated issue because i think people normally international people are

expecting to get us to when the order in collection of the restaurant, but un hungry if you're eating good slash or if you order it from a restaurant menu, you would probably get a soup and less group which is more likely to reach the majority of the people who would expect to when they or the electric. it's cool, i've an angry increasing this could put, could the topic case, then other complex if you place you, it's obviously the signature of spice of hanging and okay. if you have 1st look on the public eye, you can immediately say a lot about the quality. it should be very intense through the clean pace. the, the secret tape of all of the hanging in grandmother's. he was probably not. we didn't

ever recipe. and the secret is when you add the public um have to pick the pen off of the heat. and for the top we get on the, on the is separately because it gets very easily better and it burns very easily. so that's why you have this excess then the, the base. so for me, because of why on a tough to to hours the meat is nice and cool. and the picking up some of the best of us will be mixed together with the meat heroes. the bit we have to add the assembled the so uh good. so these are the, all the elements are cool. i like to do that too because of a instead of somebody due to favors. so maybe that's why the most of the finances of it really like the and with that we come to

the end of another. so remember to follow us on social media for more from the world of culture and lifestyle in europe. as always, thanks for tuning in and join us again. next week the, the, the
