1:47 am
a pretty serious academic program. this dance and temple is home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument behind. your chichi process of course of such discussions with students learning the philosophic truth of. your game is the senior monk here give me a tour of the impressive temple grounds. it was built back in the late eighteenth seventy's but fell into disrepair during the soviet union and for the last twenty years you have gagne and his brothers have been helping to restore it to its former glory. but the monks haven't only been rebuilding the temple they've also been restoring their academy. as an english teacher who's been working here since one thousand nine hundred four the students study here for five years and as well as languages and oh yes they focus heavily on tibetan sciences to get to math

. one. to board the science five for the sciences and you can teach people to. explain the types of pulse. so there are lots of different ones is what might the polls tell you straight out of the you will paul's kid nepal's beef and some long run this country. and all hers his computer work a certain rate for the thing is ok. so perhaps the most important lessons concentrate on buddhist themes and ideas and they have some extremely well travelled professors class. poor fellows the list in this teacher or phil wilson is that both of them are he came from. his.

former and he told. me his thing. for nine years for it's. when the student and nowadays he teaches for those who follow what languages he writes a bit. more as a person is not what it should be hi decided it was time to buy him and the monks farewell but these deep intellectual close's they do make you think. they may study it for ideas but that doesn't mean that the philosophical questions for the monks here apparently are one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. some of the probably would like a lifetime figure. but the people around here don't just like to exercise their minds has plenty of healthy competition among the villages in this region
1:50 am
especially when it comes to archery. but this is boman ship korea style and that's a little different. be all she's a mage go to targets on the grounds and there are some fairly complicated rules. this point because it looks like a ridiculously accurate one he just has one point because he's not this from there . each participant stands either twenty or thirty metres back and gets up to thirty two shops if you knock the whites out of the target zone it's two points any others really want. it's a technique that takes years to master but when in game. i fancy myself as a bit of a. growing herd. you know i think let's give it a shot right. all of those are made from birch bark and horns and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those you know my line here is the most experienced
1:51 am
torture in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. it's good for the so. play dress and release. perfect form without sorrow. and see how that thing did and it's and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need a line every. little white. lucilla's one point. one if i get one of these people on the head would you. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the other competitors i wasn't really dressed for the occasion. it was time to stone's
1:52 am
exploring some more of the local wilderness nowadays none of this territory is off limits but i was having to replace the just twenty years ago i would have been allowed anywhere near. their huge areas of understood step in the region and in the middle as one place that was closed off from the outside world for more than twenty years during the soviet union. and it's because of this but is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and a fuel. of the country's nuclear power. i was about to head four hundred meters down into the. mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium.
1:53 am
right. there. you seems a constantly. monday tracked down several levels. this . is a pretty serious quipping. these drills are used to holes in the wall which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped ready for collection. of beasts of more uranium or. to believe that within this is a small piece of radioactive material. and surprisingly i wasn't allowed to use any heavy machinery. going to do it. well you
1:54 am
can't come down into a void like this and. of course. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet i think i want to be there for the support of. the only thing you really like to suffer from down here is dust inhalation but in the four thousand tons of all the horrors of the pit every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to so grateful. so survive but probably spread to radiate mind without any noticeable effects in the hopes that. the above of these bits mere glowing in. my time is
1:55 am
a michaels good reason was coming to an end and i still have some souvenirs to pick up in the region hundreds of years the berea have had a reputation for beautiful and ornate weaponry like this one takes over a knife but like with any old thing sometimes you need to give it a bit of a touch up and there's a lady around here and really nervous how to put the sparkle back into things. as an office and sold the smith and if you want something to look it's best she's the woman you go and see. and i thought i'd check if i could get discounts by helping out with the cleaning. specific scrubbing technique. the bit of elbow grease this is. very clear that shining away there will be the envy of all. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the berea wedding but dreamer did invite me
1:56 am
to carry our family picnic the next day with a bit of a difference. they don't do things but when they get together in these parts dinner today was being supplied by a law of sheep. so this is actually the most important parts of the ceremony where you have to do it with your head covered. you make an offering to the four corners of the earth and that is to ensure that the soul of the. goes to a different place and is welcomed by the spirit and michael i left to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy. speciality liver
1:57 am
i'm not leak. it just because the meat which is still warm. from with freshness here then once we seal the liver it was time for the second layer. so the meats now that it's been cooked has now wraps in the facts and then we go back and cook it again and this is a very special treat. exceptionally more men meat and far. we're doing it for thousands of years. i feel truly only to have been able to share this experience with the reamer and her relatives. an authentic piece of korea family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect and it's much harder as a baikal still richer.
