her friends on the only bike isn't she. prefers a ride off the roads. motorcycle team is based we call the trans motor sports federation the team is made up of more than thirty men and the training is just over here. most of the team are away at a competition but there were still plenty of people out for a quiet day of risking. a 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. take that society i'm making my own. never again. ok so on might not be a natural rebel without

a cause but there are some people in chief who do live rather unconventional lives . probably to say that recycling projects around russia still in their infancy. around here. you know exactly what to do with. there are certain. things might. develop a whole new take on hitting the bottle. engineer who just can't stop building. expensive bricks when there are plenty of alternatives just lying around. many bottles if you pull it up over the years you know mineral water beer and the like had difficulty getting rid of them so i thought i might as well use them for a good purpose so if the first thing i made was a bathroom. nice and warm place. and as time went by and all the projects crop talk

. like this portal talent for instance from the inside it maybe all these version of the lennon more. but up top it's a place for the kids to play and help with the gardening to. some yeah is my swimming pool has a double purpose which you into first your children swim in the water local five minutes used to watering plants and then will fill the swimming pool up again a great little thrilling bow out a way to watch the orbits the. earth. projects have made him a bit of a local celebrity he's always had plenty of fans to bring him supplies luxury luxury village news. and you can keep up with a news. story coming up. it took seventy eight people to collect these bottles even

a plaque with everyone is. each building normally takes years to complete it isn't slowing down his property empire his next one is an old school and he's always looking for willing volunteers if you want to try and with a few quick tips from the most i was well on my way to an architectural triumph. always hard work in the hot sun makes a man thirsty. that. i don't have to stay and help or how to finish this project but i can at least help contribute to the building materials. on the job is encouraged. but just one of course because my next stop was going to take some serious concentration if i didn't want to end up with a block or two. i'd. suffered imo. from bottle. to martial artist does. this is ten c.

karate club the biggest and most successful in the city so it's run by alexander one of russia's most accomplished karate masters and he's able to assist in his son years gaining. blackbelt. i was in. an intensive course. quickly and. has been teaching. and estimates he's trained thousand students. percent of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to. blindfolded. me a little. to

take. somewhere in the city to relax and recuperate. and. they've brought us there almost no russians working. different treatments. particularly effective and. this is supposed to be great for you. happens to be one of the most

things ever experience. then you just relax and have to do the thing. it does get better the longer. but i'm still counting down the fifteen minutes i have to wait. for. christmas eve. to get. such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was only off way through

the treatment. right on happy with this. but both gentle and refreshing. because now my back row feels like it'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 to like. 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 vols this is a walk in the park. most kids sucked up into little. pieces

. 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. so this is the national park it's the biggest national park in the whole region and it's centered around a series of sacred 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 trek ahead of me. and of course i picked one of the hottest days of the year to do. this there's plenty of refreshment available.

the trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visitor responds to do their bit to keep them flare. 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 part sorry that obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course never head step 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 in the long woods name means goddess and one of the goddesses is right 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 hopefully it's supposed to impart some wisdom to me. and it's good to stay. 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 cathedral and people believe that it actually marks the entrance to paradise. who is left for me to do. is take a climb up the stairway to heaven. kohat as a cold drink go to the waiting room here then there. will you lucky enough to have the spirit speak to you or not there's definitely a special energy about our. incredible views in natural monoliths make this a memorable trip and i was looking forward to seeing more of the region's put his treasures. wealthy british style.

markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports.

experience for both and pilgrims alike. can be found in the region 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 well being that they're concerned with here they've also got a pretty serious academic program. home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument to be. teaching. course so such discussions with students learning. truth all food is. your game is this see me among kids 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. but the monks haven't only been rebuilding the temple they've also been restoring their academy. as an english teacher who has been working here since one nine hundred ninety four the students study here for five years and as well as languages in office they focus heavily on tibetan sciences to get. one low grade to board the sciences fife for the sciences and felicity you can teach tippett and that's to. explain the types of paul's. there are lots of different ones is what your polls tell you what sort of thing i'll leave you will paul's kid nepal's different kinds some long road. trip. and all the others have to be able to work

a certain rate for fifteen years ok. well perhaps the most important lesson is concentration on buddhist or similar ideas and they have some extremely well travelled professors a few classes. to listen to listeners if teach oilfield most of that bottom line he can from. his. former thank you so it's good to meet his thing and. fall in line for. falsely claiming want to study and nowadays he teaches symbols to follow what languages he writes to be at. person is not what it should be decided it was time to get by the monks farewell but these deep intellectual close's they do make you think. they may study but that doesn't mean that the philosophical question for

the monks apparently one of the favorites is simply how is it i am who i am. something that probably would take a lifetime to figure out. 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 gets one point because he's not from there. each participant stands either twenty or thirty meters back and gets up to thirty two shots if you knock the wind out of the target zone it's two points any of us

only one. it's a technique that takes years to master went in by. myself is a bit of a. robin hood problem with the way it's let's give it a shot. all the bozo made from but ball can horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those snapping in a hurry my point here is the most experienced don't tour 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 two minutes and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need to lie everything up. little white targets.

loose the one point. 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 start exploring some more of the local wilderness nowadays none of this territory is off limits but i was heading to a place the just twenty years ago i would have been allowed anywhere near. there are huge areas of understood 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. and it's because of this but it is the largest uranium mine in the whole of russia and it fuels one of the country's nuclear. i was about

to head four hundred meters down into the. mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium. they. say. you seams are constantly being. tracked down several levels. this is pretty serious equipment. these drills are used to for holes in the rock which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped ready for

collection. piece of. wood hard to believe that within this is this small piece of radioactive material. and surprisingly i wasn't allowed to use any heavy machinery but then didn't going to do a little mining you. come down to live like this. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet. i want to be but it's. the only thing you'll really like me to suffer from down here is dust inhalation bus in the four thousand tons of coal the whole of the pit

every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to sobering fools. so it's. probably to radiate mind without any noticeable effects. of the above of these bits mere glowing in the. reason was coming to an end but i still have to souvenirs to pick up in the region . hundreds of years the berea of had a reputation for beautiful ornate weaponry like this. 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. and i thought i'd check if i could get discounts by helping

out with the cleaning. specific. the. shining away there will be the envy of all of my next gloria. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the wedding but dream a 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 i did today was being supplied by a law if she. so this is the most important part of the ceremony where you have to do it with your head cut . 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 spirit and by god i left to do what needed to be done and got ready to start cooking. so this is considered to be the biggest. speciality the liver but. it's because the meat which is still warm but it's. with freshness here then once we'd sealed the liver it was time for the second leg . so the meat now that it's been cooked has no wraps in the fat and then we go back and cook it again this is a very special treat. exceptionally primal men meat and fodder. for doing it thousands of them.

i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with to remember and her relatives. an authentic piece of period family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect end to my time in the job i call stream richer. luck.

to grow however there's also another feeling going here as well as of grief and that sort of anger and questions increasingly growing as to the revelations that keep emerging about the ship just earlier here at the river port of former captain of that ship the bulgaria came and revealed some alarming details about the ship's life before its last voyage. i became captain of the vessel in two thousand and seven the ship hadn't even been renovated for a while before that there were big problems with the engines and power generators to repeatedly mention that to the management and even had an argument with them these debates will continue as to what caused this tragic sinking but it doesn't do anything to relieve the grief here on the banks of the volga. this is the happy scene that should have been this ship is designed almost identically to the bulgaria in this room almost identical to the one that children on that ship played .
