these guys prefer to ride off the roads. motorcycle team is based we call the trans motor sports federation the team is made up of more than thirty minutes and the training is just over here. most of the team are away to competition but there were still plenty of people out for a quiet day the first. day broken bones here and there and having fun. and if a seven year old can make it around the track in one piece. once i figured out how to stop the thing from stalling at least. i got society making my own. never again. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people in chief who do live rather unconventional lives

9:37 am
experience. christmassy. knew. such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was any way through the treatment. right on happy with.

that both gentle and refreshing the first because now my back row feels like he's had an encounter with a tyke. understandably i was a little nervous as i climbed on to my next plinth but my instructor soon had me completely relaxed. at least until i noticed him getting out and like to. the very moment of my. knees with him. they may have been using me as a human flaw. but it's also supposed to be great for the secular. compared to those volatile volatiles this is a walk in the park. not sure whether most kids sucked up into little.
9:39 am
with. centuries of chinese wisdom it was time to seek out some spiritual healing too and that meant getting out of the city. from the capital is one of the areas most beautiful nature spots. service as the national park it's the biggest national park in the whole region and it's centered around a series of sacred buddhist monuments unfortunately most of them all high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. i've got a bit of a truck ahead of me. and of course i'll take one of the hottest days of the year to do. this there's plenty of refreshment available.
9:40 am
the trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visitor responds to do their bit to keep them clear. the piles of stones that you can see here are made by the pilgrims taking the trek up into the hills. it's traditional to remove obstacles from your paw so that obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course never head step a bit of good karma. it can be easy to get lost here if you don't know where you're going but i was lucky enough to have my guide by year waiting for me and one of the park's most spectacular points. is a buddhist who's been showing people around here for more than ten years and he knows all of all how nice most sacred places. this is a holy place and the moments name means goddess and one of the goddesses is right
9:41 am
here in the rock for much you can answer many questions and one can profit from the knowledge that just touched the rock with your hands and for it. by. touching my forehead to this rock who for me it's supposed to impart some wisdom to me. it is the state of. but there are plenty of opportunities to draw on the god's knowledge here dozens of children journey here almost every day to make offerings will seek guidance in the parks various shrines and most of them are headed for one particular destination. it's been a long hot track but it's finally almost to the end because just behind me is the holiest sites for the buddhists in the whole of this park it's called the gates
9:42 am
cathedral and people believe that that's really marks the entrance to paradise. the stairway to heaven. while you look enough to have the spirit speak to you or not there's definitely a special energy about the. incredible views and natural monoliths make this a memorable trip and i was looking forward to seeing more of the region has put its treasures.
9:43 am
more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets in canada. giant corporations are today. download the official placation your i pod touch from the top story. on the go. video on demand. broadcasts and feeds now in the palm of your. question. is an amazing experience for both haikus and pilgrims alike but. can be found in the region
9:44 am
buddhism plays a major role in culture in fact the region is home to the two oldest but it's temples in the whole of the country but it's not just people spiritual wellbeing but the concern with here i've also got a pretty serious academic program to. police home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument to be. teaching. a course of such discussions to students learning the philosophic truth. game is the sunni among the muslims give me a tour of the impressive temple grounds. it was built back in the late eight hundred 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
9:45 am
their academy. as an english teacher who's been working here since one nine hundred ninety four the students study here for five years and as well as languages and they focus heavily on tibetan scientists. want. to board the science. fyfe for the sciences and felicity you can teach tippett and that's to. explain the types of paul's. since. there are lots of different ones is what might your polls tell you what sort of thing i'll leave you will paul's kid nepal's a different kind some long road. trip. and all the others have to be able to look a certain rate for fifteen years ok. perhaps the most impatient lessons concentrate on buddhist or similar ideas and they have some extremely well
9:46 am
travelled professors. class. the listeners the teach oil field most of that bottom line he came from and. his. form are great he. appeared to me to stand. for nine years for. falsely. and want to study and nowadays he teaches feels she flounced what languages he writes and a bit. more intervention is not what it should be high i decided it was time to get by the monks well but these deep intellectual close is they do make you think. they may study it for five years but that doesn't mean that the philosophical question stop for the monks there apparently are one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. ok that's something that probably would take
9:47 am
a lot of time. but the people around here don't just like to exercise their minds there's plenty of healthy competition among the villages in this region especially when it comes to archery. but this is bowman ship style and that's a little different. beyond choosing a much go to targets on the ground and there are some fairly complicated rules. despite the fact that it looks like a ridiculously accurate one he just gives one point because he's not from there. each participant stands on the twenty or thirty meters back and gets up to thirty two shots if you knock the want out of the target zone it's two points any of us only one. it's a technique that takes years to master when. i fancy myself as a bit of a. robin hood probably with the let's let's give it
9:48 am
a shot. all the bows a home made from but can horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those snapping in a hurry my ear is the most experienced on sure in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. so . drab and release. perfect form without an arrow. and see how that changes in about. then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need to line every. little white. loose the one point. where if i get one of these people to put it up on the head
9:49 am
with it. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the other dr competitors i wasn't really dressed for the occasion. it was time to exploring some. limits but i was heading to a place that just twenty years ago i wouldn't. step in this region but in the middle as one place that was closed from the outside world for more than twenty years during the soviet union. because of this but. in the whole of russia and it fuel. of the country. i was about to head four hundred meters down into the. which produces eighty percent of the countries you.
9:50 am

9:51 am
material. you. didn't. well you can't come down and survive like this. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet i think i want to be but if. the only thing you really like me to suffer from down here is dust inhalation bus in the four thousand tons of coal they hold on to the pit every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to sobering fault. so it's.
9:52 am
probably. mine without any noticeable effects. of the above. my time in the good reason was coming to an end but i still have to souvenirs to pick up in the region. hundreds of years the berea have had a reputation for beautiful and weaponry like this silver 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 who really knows how to put the sparkle back into things. as an artist and silversmith and if you want something to look its best she's the woman you go and see. oh i thought i'd check if i could get discounts by helping out with the cleaning. specific scrubbing. it's. a bit of elbow grease this is. a shot for us signing away there will be the envy of all my
9:53 am
next gloria wedding. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend. but jurymen did invite me to a family picnic the next day with a bit of a difference. they don't do things when they get together in these parts and dinner today was being supplied. cheap. so this is actually the most important part of the ceremony where you have to do it with your head covered. you make an offering to the four corners of the earth. is to ensure that the soul of the. goes to a different place and is welcomed in by the spirit and by god i left the guys to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking.
9:54 am
so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy so particular mongolian speciality the liver but. because the meat which is still warm but it's. with freshness here. sealed the liver it was time for the second layer. so the meat now that it's been cooked is now wrapped in the fat and then we go back and cook it again this is a very special treat. exceptionally primal men meet. and be doing it to me. i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with to remember and her relatives. an authentic piece of berea family life the few westerners ever have
