so i asked little, surprised hi, i was shoving and i'm ready to dive into the hands of children to you. have you have a window quote, on the vehicle despise on the on expected side supplies the the same as venice carnival in full swing. we look at how the art of mask making can be preserved will seem become an endangered sport. we see how winter activities have become affected by climate change. and how about a little spice in your life? we get a taste of bell pepper spread from the balkans. all listen more coming up on your own mac the

. we start off in the standing your tongue. and so the event is where carnival is underway. people in beautiful bro costumes are out and about on the narrow passage ways and canals throughout the city. and one very particular, mysterious accessory, completes every outfit mazda. so the trademark of businesses carnival is the most making tradition endangered. there are only a handful of all systems left to know how to make them by hand. and so be done. those 2 is one that's a challenge. it's to the problems as you caught me go worship benny's and i'm one of the very last from us me curse. doing traditional masks here in the city of canals is also known as the city of moscow. and there are among the most popular souvenirs most are now mass produced abroad. so just that part of the threat to the craft of mall is making in his workshop to be at

a loss to mix each of his mosques by hand applause. the cost provides the basic shape. he lays various materials into it to create the finished most of the, the 1st layers, the most important one is because it will be the most external. so it is a very soft paper made of wood and fibers. indeed, it's important to catch all the little details of the mask. so the most precise you are then the most the mosque will have a clear and precise shape. it takes to be about a week to complete one mosque. here he applies imitation called leaf. the 27 year old originally learned the cross from his father, quite cheerful. they share a dedication to both the creates of work and the greatest significance of the most

a level that is the the mascot at a level what i'm working on. the mask means working on the person for the story. the inner self will accept their inspiration. so perform the task a. so it's about the internal and external world. so instead most of them on the said no, it, many people can see it as a negative thing. so to put up a mask, to, to cover yourself to be fake. whereas traditionally, menu is nice is exactly the opposite. it is to cover your identity to being called can you tell us a giving you the freedom, or to express or your cell. so putting up a mask is showing yourself rather than height the mosque. so the vendors have a long history. in the 13th century, people in this wealthy center of commerce began concealing. this thing says carnival. that way. they could remain anonymous and temporarily a bolder social higher keys while they set a branch of the bible to a mosque is

a historical model that covers the entire face. looks masculine buddy was worn by any one men, women reach poor merchants, priests and the other one which was used alone. the long time of carnival was the more they stuck these swinging studies, offending a mask. as you see, it does no strings, no stick. how could they, where it's the secret lies? the behind it was word by biting does lead to boston. in 1797 and often napoleon conquered vendors carnival was outlawed. the most faded into oblivion. not until the late 19 seventies did watch cable down no store and a group of other artists revived the tradition in the general guys that the negro bull, hey, let me say it was

a group and team efforts. and in that field involving experimentation and interviews with elderly artisans, living and venison, who pursued other professions, and what had the motivation for opportunities to work on masks. so they seemed to be well below, cuz you only been queen level that is from the mask to mazda by the demo. stores can run from 3rd to yours to several 1000 volumes. a carnival renters on lovers, and movie makers. the father and son also off a most workshops for tourist. they have no desire to compete with a cheap most sold by the souvenir. of course, if you're happy with the 5 euros plastic maskeen parted from you don't know where it's, it's something so different to what we do that it's 22 different trucks, a k do something special and unique and i feel the, the potency, the, the strength of such

a strong cultural heritage connected to the history of the place i was born to the place i belong to this house. and so that to be done us to put into every mosque he makes, it's a business the nation culture that he wants to preserve for the future. germany of course, is known for its beer wine from here also has a good reputation, but germans aren't drinking as much as they used to. so how important is alcohol still to them? yes, it is cool. jones have reputation for not being expect any of us to have it. but it's their level. germany's world famous be, are still not strong. that's what we find out in this episode. off meet the german class, you will see me think some german plastic nickos said i couldn't bring myself to try out yet. the drink and go to enjoy many miss chanc forwarded. those. especially if the come from a society where alcohol isn't that important or is forbidden. what shocked me was

that public drinking is legal and tolerated here. we just very different from my experience in india, where women buying alcohol in public is still quite irritable. but here i understand the germans open law for b a because they have a long history that goes back housings of yes, german wine has introduced into roman times and the country novels a wide variety of sports, red and white wines with how to pronounce names to the best ones, like please link big moving to or the middle to about can be found in either the high and his father's bottom regions are here in the most of the valley. my favorite part fucking away into many this is a must have for celebrations. although i don't think it always requires a special education coast overall, the germans have long perceived alcohol. is the vehicle to who are culture unless it is to increase. i do think it is a cultural asset. it has very much and could and not eating. i'm drinking cult shot job. i'd like it. yes, because it has

a long history in germany. you especially beer and wine and many regions. one day, many people relate their culture to it. it's simply tradition and i think traditional should be upheld to a certain extent. of course, alcohol consumption should not get out of hand, of course, but i think it's part of the traditional consulting that's who will say. so as if i see it is probably a mistake because it really has no place a tool as a cultural asset. and it leads to trivialization in society to a to 5 years on which occasions do you drink alcohol? is that too often? i think a good red wine with dinner and goes by with some dishes about some months and conditioning shown that so that one. so home alcohol is definitely the posts or festive occasions, for example, sparkling wine or regular wine. and no wonder that germany is still considered to be a high consumption country for alcohol, with germans drinking almost twice a global average. and it seems like they can't afford it. did you know that the alcohol prices here belong to the lowest in europe? so it doesn't come as a surprise to germany also has alcoholism, problems,

around 3000000 germans between the ages of 18 and 64 face alcohol related issues and almost 8000000. jo. when a does zoom alcohol interest q a during festivals like carnival or october, 1st, many people drinking insane amounts of alcohol, but things are changing around here. in the last 4 decades, jones has gone down massively on the alcohol consumption. according to studies in 1980 tillman's age, 15 and above, consumed on average, 15 liters of pure alcohol per capita. by 2021. this number came down to around 10 meters per year. even though b or it means the germans favorite alcoholic drink in the last 3 decades, beer seems have gone down by 30 percent. there are several reasons for this. generally decreasing alcohol consumption. for example, jim, is that more hes conscious nowadays? and for so sobriety more than they used to also, the gentleman market offered a wide selection of non alcoholic drinks. catering to the countries devastates,

especially young jo minutes consume less alcohol nowadays. but nonetheless, alcohol is been from quite comedy at social gatherings in germany. and i did say i was going to take some liquors, so here's the coast. an awesome news, or late in the evening, joe, most often put snobs or some kind of pick on the tables. for this episode, i select the 3 of these things that i haven't tried before. number one on the list . the i can buy stuff. undoubtedly, this is jeremy's most famous subject. and now let's see how it tastes like coca cola and fender. next, the origin of the traffic. this problem and click on it is popular in germany's eastern states. the last one. hi, how you can ignore and you show the alcohol. is it a drink or put in the

5th day is better than i expected? not again at all. how about you? what's your take on the german drinking contact? share it in the cold in winter. sports fans are truly concerned that soon there won't be enough snow for skiing or snowboarding due to climate change. we went to the out to see for ourselves how the situation looks to the majestic doubts covered in snow. but how much longer will it last? according to calculations made by climate researchers by 2050, the average temperature in the else is expected to rise by 4 degrees celsius. what does this mean for winter tourism in the out? the, i'm on the subscripts,

germany's highest mountain lots of slow and scarce. or what, how long will see, you'll be out still be possible. simply wonderful. will room smoke less amazing panorama? not that. like me, many others enjoy this. know. will it always be like this? my grandchildren will not be able to enjoy the sky and snow and the mountains, and the way that we do is come with my daughter. if i come from the algoy, then something has changed there and come, you can't ski like you used to be able to see if i'm going to, you've got and you're going to fight to keep their industry going. this going year to year with getting see and how it changes, how the weather changes. it gets so chaotic, the precipitation every time. yeah. it's a concern. you might be the last generation to do it not to be here on the to. it seems to be business as usual. at least at 1st glance. we're skiing here at an

altitude of 2600 meters. it's the highest ski area in germany. but global warming has cost many changes here to to learn more. i need with busy not tons of. she works for it, so i'm sure it's fine. i keep the company responsible for operating the sky area. these are also called flat lists. here. this one runs directly above the northern, she may feel like asia and this glacial is melting and losing height. it loses volume, especially in the summer when it's boom. and that means that the beautiful ridge of the glacial which we are on now is getting steeper and steeper. and that is why the lift isn't working right now. lift at a standstill. this side is increasingly common in europe in ski resorts, including here at germany's only glacier skiing area. what you can see in winter is that the northern shenise found that glacier as melted drastically over the past 80 years. unlike and many other ski areas here,

as it's explicit, they don't make artificial snow. this was a conscious decision made by the operators. is this the area? is it a high enough altitude that winter sports can take place without the fights? to what extent have you already noticed changes on the mountain due to climate change isn't came of under. as of times, of course, in somebody you can see very clearly that the northern she needs found that is losing volume. we've always had good winds, isn't bad winters that's normal for this is opening here on the expense. so we've had the highest i snow for 20 years, but then you'll have another winter where you really same to how we really made snow now. otherwise we come to from the slope, so it's a lot of back and forth. yeah. nature is currently still providing enough snow up here. but what about in the alps in general? i would like to know what an expert has to say about this. the k i t come to us, i mean, is the oldest environmental research facility in germany and has been based in gums

putting kitchen since 1962 clements ologist. how equipment is working on calculation models that predict the effects of climate change and the alps by 2050 . they conclude that the average temperature will rise by 4 degrees celsius and the periods during which snow falls will likely become shorter. it's obvious that this is a fatal forecast for window sports. what this climate change due to the alps in winter to accept this template says uh that enrollment enrollment. this means that the level of snow line is getting into higher and higher elevations every couple of years. and that means that lower elevations becomes more and more difficult to goes key, and then that sort of condition, what's gonna happen in the future. can you say that regarding snow, the snow matress, king ada? that does not use artificial smaller than the technique is getting more, more expensive, of course,

because it need to be more and more efficient. and that also means it's and it's, it's getting more more expensive. that's key, it says it's getting even more expensive then it wants to know. so you always have to mix. no, otherwise. you couldn't ski, here is that true? this is miss. you know, the solution is not to expand this. no making, when it gets wilma, it's just that if you don't have enough precipitation in the form of snow, then you can save if one nights a super cold and you have good conditions, then you can produce, know so that you can open the slopes in the piston staying is still possible, but the l pine window show that things are getting tighter for windows sports and see was us. and the pressure on the tourism industry is growing. after all that activity, it's time now to sink our teeth into something delicious. so how about some of our from the bulk in this spicy spread is served with bread or meat and is an essential part of the bulk and diet. we had to north macedonia for

a taste of this speciality, the sweets, smoky and spicy. this peppery spread known as a bar is a defining part of balkan cruising, struck with the delicacy. i'm so stunning, the main columbus on. throughout the balkans on the bar is more than just to form a snack. every country claims to have the best recipe. who to the list because it was a social and cultural phenomenon. so then part of the method shown your dna. so what makes a bar so specials? how is it made? and why is it known as bulk and caviar? we went to the mountains of north macedonia to find out in the angelo family home, everything revolves around the popular red pepper, paste to many unhealthy years of friendship. the engine loves swear by the juicy red pointed portable peppers. it takes a full for kilos to make one kilo of good i bar

the under loves to run a small business producing i of are following a traditional family recipe. the village of police put a slice in the middle of north macedonia. many here have their own small bell pepper farms for $300.00 days of sunshine a year are not enough to bring up a typical smoky taste of our. this comes from a special wood burning stove, used to thoroughly roast the peppers, the ones that softened the peppers are painstakingly strip of their burnt skin by hand and put through the food grinder piece by piece for hours on end . with me since we started making us in august and each it all winter long, you don't seem which is why we call it the needles for you. but. but might that mean something like winter suit? we also use it as an appetizer with fruit brandy. a may use or has breakfast,

or you have these all traditionals that have been with us for generations and on this for detail. so for the, for with the peppers are season with oil, salt and vinegar cooked for an hour and stirred constantly. the winter food is ready, at least for the angels. they make their, i've our mainly for themselves and sell it in small quantities to their neighbors. generations of people on the both ends have argued not only over for created i bar, but what ingredients go into the popular relish. one thing seems clear, the word i bar comes from the turkish hobby are, which means salty fish role. in other words, caviar, some people say i of are, looks like red caviar. and the taste for this balkan caviar has spread far beyond the region. it can be found in many fine gourmet shops. laconia is one of many

producers following an old macedonian recipe. laconia wouldn't hear of garlic in the i bar, as is often the case and other bulk and countries. still there factory produces different varieties. i'm not sure if there was one. the ivr near the going you, we make, i have are using a combination of red peppers and excellent because that gives it a very special labor and texture. who though it makes the final product taste better or the closest you quit. so somebody will see stuff. but just as the angel loves doing the countryside, the king who a roast appeals and stirs the ingredients altogether and much of the work is done by hand. the company exports the i buy products to 20 countries. and yet you post them is the big or not the customers give us feedback and tell us how they use . i've our them, you know what's in a couple. i have it as much as a very encouraging, but wouldn't put it in a sense more than so. no thoughts was completed on toaster and burritos. the one of

our customers reported on a really exciting combination with salmon and champagne. well, with meat to salmon and champagne are not part of a typical macedonian breakfast, and the engine loves household. they have fred fried, an oil to cheese and olives. and of course, 2 varieties of i have are mild and spicy, and they wash it all down with a glass of home. age snobs is break, dancing, or singing his best talent with holes counter turner. you all could use it for lensky. it's hard to tell. he's not only great breakdown, sir, he's also a successful oper. singer we met up with him in paris to witness both yacht club. joseph lensky is a rising star of the opera world. the

jews, $33.00 from poland, uniquely charismatic, and a master of an extraordinarily high vocal range, the age of age. to begin singing in a boys choir in warsaw. back then he had no idea he would have ventured. we make a career as a counter tenor. said the beginning, i didn't even know that it's a full set. the big thing that this account with in your voice i was just seeing i was just literally producing sound. so i was exploring experimenting, trying to melt into the, and sort of other voices of the, of the group. and then later on when we went for some workshops and i got the, the information from the, from one of the teachers that like all of your account right there. and i was like, are you trying to find me? what's, what's that like? and then i got the all the information, but he has

a hobby to break dance. and even while on tour with the opera, he practices almost every day. as a teenager, he spent a lot of time dancing in the streets with his friends. but at the same time, he was discovering a love for opera, was up hiding it, but that was not coming to a practice session saying like, hey, i like having dinner at 5. so it was just sort of like somewhere there. and at the beginning, i have to say i was living a little bit the let's say to live silver hopper uh, senior counter center, and then sir, like a breaker. and then he's kind of finally uh, got together. he sees no contradiction in his love, adult opera and break dancing. it is sort of different, but actually, you know, there are a lot of coming things and, and it, it actually fulfills me in a very good way because of course,

i love singing and that's what i do for living and every day. but also like dancing is my passion. it's like everything. what i love, it's the music. it's the physicality, acrobatics and freedom. it's sort of like a, i don't know, meditation, some people have to just sit down and i don't know, close their eyes and i have to dance, specializing and baroque opera, his charm and talent to concert halls across europe and the united states. even when a younger audiences for offering music the, it's really nice to see young public coming to to our concerts because really it is, it is fund energies is different, the atmosphere is different. i don't think better, but it's different. the music videos for the 6 albums, these cuts so far, very much like those are the major popstars. so it's no surprise that he does some modeling to as here for the post edition of vogue. i don't things my way and it's

a, i don't like when, when somebody says, for example, like all you should do this because it's like, brings a lot of views. all this brings a lot of followers. all my god is going to bring new public. i don't like this kind of thinking because it's, it's for me not authentic. and what i, what i want to do is to do things which are correct with me. and what i'm saying is, is, is good, good rules. the, this office star is busy touring the world, performing mostly in europe and the us. and still, she finds a little time for break dancing. and with that, we wrap up another edition of your own max. we hope you enjoyed this show, be sure to follow us on all of our social media channels for the latest, from the world of european culture and entered tainment till next week. it's,
