$0.10 on christmas present. but the most popular gifts being vouchers in money. 41 percentage um and say that sucks and at least favorite disk the contrary to what you might expect germans not like thing to admit that that disappointed any gift for germans christmas eve dinner is a humble affair with a more lavish meal being set. the next day on the 25th in old christian tradition, lynch began on st. martin's day on november 11th, and ended on december 24th. which is why traditionally a simple dish is served on christmas eve, the most popular being potato salad and sausages, the most german se, there's a sense of hominy is important for christmas. the

only one in 3 german se they can trudy 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 we close the chapter on. yes, another average jasmine christmas isn't just of what is me say i look a little lonely. perhaps he's looking for love as always like and describe average gather straight from the streets at bowie to u. d. w. fill in for us,

learn more about dates. origins in a moment. can be sent because you feel it here. you know, when everyone's singing and harmony, the big moved something here in your god. because i'm just, i'm it comes from the remote mountain villages of the tanya, an island of sardinia. it's known as the con to add to nora, and is said to thank 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 zone for several years . it's been declared an intangible world heritage. bi unesco, got the, is a 40 fixing, realize it by 4 parts of the courtyard. 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 cancer all to note a remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that it originated among the shepherds and titus the islands traditional occupations. it's passed on by the north on paper. i've always worked in the country around cows. the singing reminds me of cow's moving cabs sound very similar. i tried to imitate that. it was the same sound all the time. yeah, some might say this kind of song was inspired by the sounds of animals. but that really hasn't been proven to the condo often already is sung at certain festivals on holidays and occasionally it concepts. but here it's part of daily life. pump co is inside indian villages,

often spontaneously breakouts in song about 3500 thing is there active in order of sol dania. every village has its own styles. the what role does pursuing 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 the singing in our heart part of sardinian identity and all goes all those identity in order to to the content belongs to this region. and we're very proud of it. the way the lyrics were written in the san denny and language by son damien powers. they deal with love, friendship, religion, war and peace. how with this thing and 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 were so we all learn the tradition this way. you can't learn it at any school above his whole life. the origins of the account too often already will always be something of a mystery, but it's an integral positive santini, an 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 ascent for it. it lies at an altitude of over 1800 meters and is surrounded by stunning panoramas. the . 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 in the swiss alps and it's my very 1st time my destination to saint margaret's. a place that stands for winter tourism like no other saint mar. 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 usually the place to go explains 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. and then they made a bed in the fields. he said, come to save more rich 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

the swiss mountain town. regularly. even the saint. margaret's lake is used in winter for a rather unusual events. a total 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 in your 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 helped 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 st. moore, it's for many years as a ski instructor and mountain bike guide. i go on a tour with him, followed by phone to business. what special about the i can get in for you personally, um and not the nature of the gas toronto me is great. uh, so the ambience and 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 fun do is holding brought put a few pieces of bread on your plate and philip stab one with your fork. yeah, i just don't good. so the ready for the next one? the solution, if you lose your bread, you have to do the washing up so if you really want to get moving in winter, the and getting is the 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 that i see an extra the when to days in your or get chilly. there's nothing better than a delicious gould are 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 actually is a very simple dish you want to pay is the meat and he wants to taste the pump. rico the good quality, top quality fuck because which is not easy to get your hands on even in hungry the you have to follow the shows just looking for

a few hours and leave the lot as well. the every 2nd week we me and said with us, all, that's why i say like, as well the time my name is the saw sound, so i'm from hungry. i'm the x, it could be sharefile's, probably gonna be the best. and one of the most popular, i've seen each of these condo and menu, this the traditional 100 and who do i? so the, the best thing that out for a 100 and without hoops, we gotta get laser and uh, in the marketplace. we can find the way nice to meet the needs and the probably deposit as well the progress. so fee was the semester,

but as well. so that is the favor that i'm much more each. so i sure the basic who fish the bus is available all the time. and the additional some garlic is very important. and we're going to buy somebody showing them as well. that's going to be the base of this to to we're going to use the beef cheek. this is one of the most send the parts of meet the me. so after this part of muscle, the call we use the most of the that's why is a, is to the more much more than the, the because the nice the actually cubes and be cooking. so gather with the one of them based on the slides. so it takes half an hour. every one,

i mean let it be just simpler tories from whichever pipe of the red or let me be a 3 me sure. last time shift from the same as a kitchen. everyone who comes to hungry wants to face the perfect glass. hello, i'm still here. i'm out there hanging in full dresser basically and pulled up the edge. and i believe that perfect glass is really the best step into the ritual for giving the terminal it to me. of the glass is a complicated issue because i think people normally international people are expecting to get us to bend the order and selection of the restaurant. but even hungry if you think it will actually, 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 as well.

actually it's cool, i've even hungry and christine is going to put could the subject case, another complex issue? it's obviously the signature of spice of hanging and cooking. 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 take the pen off of the heat. and for the top we get on the on is separately because it gets very easily bitter and it brings very easily so that's why you have this excess then the, the base of the big a white filling out of the to the meat is nice. think good,

and we cannot some roots best of us. so they mixed together with the meat heroes the bit we have to add the assembled the so let's with these are the all the elements are cool. i like to do that too because this is a inside of some already to favors. so maybe that's why uh, the most of the finances really like the and with that we come to the end of another show. 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,
