structure and the further you rolaids the more soviet and industrial it becomes. if you don't mind your bug in your teeth this is a great way to see the city stanislav her and her friends on the only point isn't to talk with these guys prefer to write off the roads. motorcycle team is based we call the trans i call motor sports federation the team is made up of more than thirty mins and the training cost is just over here. most of the team are away to competition and there are still plenty of people out for a quiet day of risking life and limb. with a broken bones here and there and having fun. and if the seven year old can make you around the track in one piece come to the right. well once i figured out how to stop the thing from stalling at least for. right i got so i think i'm making my

own. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people in chips all who do live rather unconventional ma it's. probably fair to say that recycling projects around russia still in their infancy i know around here. you know exactly what to do with those policies that. there are. other things might do what america really. good deal should ski has developed a whole new take on hitting the bottle. the engineer who just can't stop building and why bother with expensive pricks when there are plenty of alternatives just lying around. so many bottles if you pull it up over the years you know

mineral water beer and the like you had difficulty getting rid of them so i thought i might as well use them for a good purpose so if first thing i made was a bathroom a nice and warm place you should see it and as time went by all the projects. like this portal tower for instance from the inside it may be all counties version of the london muslim. but it's a place for the kids to play and help with the gardening tools. and yeah this is my swimming pool has a double purpose but you're into first children's from in the water buckle five minutes used to watering plants and then we'll fill this rolling pool up again for a great deal from info on a way to wealthy orbits the earth for a cause projects have made him a bit of a local celebrity he's always had plenty of fans to bring him supplies luxury

with a black hole to. shock them over. to martial artists. this is ten c. karate club the biggest and most successful in the city. russia's most accomplished karate masters and. his son yet gainey he's only a first black belt of course i was in for an easy ride. somehow. chords one else and so on throws a roundhouse kick in anger and here again in an intensive refresher course. just quickly in here. cracked over the head. has been teaching here since nine hundred ninety four and estimates he's trained thousand students that's more

than one percent of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to attack his with his eyes blindfolded. when he offered me a little. play instruction. that you want to take home just. so there is no excuse me not to become a lean mean fighting machine. was just not good i wanted to find somewhere in the city to relax and recuperate. hundred kilometers from the chinese border and there's a thriving chinese community here i long with culture they've also brought their relatives there are almost no russians working in this chinese medicine and there

are a whole range of different treatments. cupping therapy was particularly effective and he was. most. this is supposed to be great for you circulation and your joints. it also happens to be one of the most agonizing things ever experience. when you just relax and have the jones do their thing. it does get better the longer you lawyer the but i'm still counting down the fifteen minutes i had to wait. for. the. receipt.

this new good. old boy. who'd a thought such a small close and was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was any health way through the treatments. right on hoping that the second cedars give it more gentle refreshing the first because then we're back row feels like it's had an encounter with a time. understandably i was a little nervous as i climbed on to my next plinth but my instructor on dres soon had me completely relaxed. ready for some relief at least until i noticed him getting out a lighter. but with a very moment of oh my but. of course of never go through any with him. good. is a walk through. they may have been using me as

a human flown by but it's also supposed to be great for the secular nation. compared to those volatile voyles this is a walk in the park. not sure whether most kids sucked up into little clubs. being seven for years with. i guess those two things in play when she will ok the boy. with my body chewed up by centuries of chinese wisdom it was time to seek out some spiritual healing too and that meant getting out of the city. i'm not far from the capitol is one of the areas most beautiful nature schools. service is 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 are high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. i've got a bit of

a trek ahead of me. and of course i picked one of the hottest days of the year to do. he says plenty of refreshment available. trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visitor a s'posed to do their bit to keep them clear. these piles of stones that you can see here how made by the pilgrims taking the trek up into the hills it's traditional to remove obstacles from your part so that obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course you never have 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. by it was

a buddhist who's been showing people around here for more than ten years and he knows all of the most sacred places. that. this is a holy place and among one's name means gorgeous and one of the goddesses is right here in the wrong for much you can answer many questions i think one can profit from the knowledge that just touch the rock with your hands and for it. by. touching my forehead. hopefully it's supposed to impart some wisdom to me. stay. but there are plenty of opportunities to draw on the god's knowledge here dozens of pilgrims journey here almost every day to

make offerings will seek guidance in the park's various shrines and most of them are headed for one particular destination. it's been a long hot track but it's finally almost at the end because just behind me is the holiest sites for the buddhists in the whole of this park it's called the gates cathedral and people believe that it actually marks the entrance to paradise. take a climb up the stairway to heaven. as a cult wrinkle to waiting for me then the. more you lucky enough to have the spirit speak to you or not there's definitely a special energy about our. incredible views and natural monoliths make this a memorable trip and i was looking forward to seeing more of the region's british treasures.

wealthy british style. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on r t. l

my national park is an amazing experience for both hikers and pilgrims alike. can be found in the region. plays a major role in culture in fact the region is home to the two oldest temples in the whole country but it's not just people spiritual well being that concerned with here they've also got a pretty serious academic program. this time some time police home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good arguments behind. teaching. courses such discussions

to students learn the skills. truth of. your game is the senior monk here and also to 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. the monks haven't only been rebuilding their temple they've also been restoring their academy. as an english teacher who has been working here since ninety ninety four the students studying here for five years and as well as languages and oh it's they focus heavily on tibet and sciences. that's. one of the great broadest sciences fife for the sciences and philosophy teacher can teach templeton that's. explained the types of paul's.

so there are lots of different models you want your pulse to tell you're playing with. balls kidney appalls different kinds some long balls right. and all the others have to be to work at a certain rate for fifteen years ok. perhaps the most important lesson is concentration on buddhist teachers and i do and they have some extremely well child professors from the same class. for most of the listeners their teacher all feel most of that bottom line he came from. his. form are you. kidding me this thing. for nine years were. all things i want to study and now these he teaches riddles you flounced what languages he writes

a bit. more expensive is not what it should be high decided it was time to buy him in the monks well but these deep intellectual close's they do make you think. well they may study it for ideas but that doesn't mean that the philosophical question stop for the monks here apparently one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. that's something that probably would take a lifetime. 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. we all choose a mcdo ten targets on the grounds and there are some fairly complicated rules. about it it looks like a ridiculously accurate one he just gets one point because he's not this from there

. each participant stands either twenty or thirty metres back and get some 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 when it. is a bit of a. robin hood. although i think let's give it a shot right. all the bozo made from birch bark and horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of you know my play here is the most experienced archer in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. for the. draft and release. perfect form without an arrow and

see how that changes and it's and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need. a little white. loose one point. trust me. i decided to quit while i was ahead anyway compared to some of the other competitors. for the occasion. it was time to exploring some more of the local wilderness nowadays none of this territory is off limits but i was heading to a place that just twenty years ago i would have been allowed anywhere near. their huge areas of understood spec 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. it was because of this but it is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and it fuels one third 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. yeah. right. there. you seams are constantly being. tracked down several levels. this.

is a pretty serious quickly. these drills are used to for holes in the rock which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped ready for collection. a piece of. code to believe that within this is this small piece of radioactive material. and surprisingly. use any heavy machinery didn't want to do a little mining here where. it can come down into void like this and. of course. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the

planet we don't want to be there for the self-pity. the only thing you're really likely to suffer from down here is dust inhalation bus and the four thousand tons of coal the whole of the pits every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium it's a sobering force. so survive much probably a tribute to your radiant mind without any made similar effects. these bits made laying in. my time when there's a good reason was coming to an end. to some good news to pick up in the region. hundreds of years that have had a reputation for beautiful weaponry like this antiques over 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.

their emerged as an artist and silversmith but 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 can get a discount by helping out with the cleaning. specific scrubbing. a bit of elbow grease this is. very cheerfully that's shining away there will be the envy of all of my next gloria wedding. coming. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the brilliant wedding a dreamer did invite me to agree on a family picnic the next day with a bit of a difference. they don't do things by halves when they get together in these parts i'm doing today was being supplied by a law of sheep. 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 by the spirits and like i left to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy so particular mongolian speciality liver. and just because the me which is still warm but the problem with freshness here once we had sealed the liver it was time for the second leg. to the meats now that it's been cooked is now wrapped in the fats

and then we go back and cooking again this is a very special treat. exceptionally primal men meat and thought i. could do it. i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with the reamer and her relatives. an authentic piece of career family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect ending to my time as a michael screecher.
