it's one of the only cities in russia that's based on a grid system and the downtown area has some beautiful european influenced architecture but the further you rolaids the more soviet and industrial it becomes . if you don't. this is a great way to see the city. friends on the only bike isn't she. prefers to ride off the roads. motorcycle team is based we hold the trans. federation team is made up of more than thirty minutes and the training is just over here. most of the team are away at a competition but there are still plenty of people out for a quiet day of rest from. broken bones here and there and having fun. and if the 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. over again. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people who do live rather unconventional lives. probably to say the recycling projects around russia still in their infancy but. around here. you know exactly what to do. there are certain. things might. take on hitting the bottle. who just can't stop building.

expensive bricks but 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 i had difficulty getting rid of them so i thought i might as well use them for a good purpose so the first thing i made was a bathroom a nice and warm place. and as time went by and all the projects cropped talking. like this portal tower for instance from the inside it maybe all these version of the london 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 but you interspersed your children swim in the water and then it's useful watering plants and then we'll feel this rolling through up again great ill feeling go out a way to will feel that's. a could these 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 look. at that it took seventy eight people to collect these bottles even a plant get it or let everyone who. each building normally takes years to complete it isn't slowing down his property empire his next one is an old chapel 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. war but always hard work in the hot sun makes a man thirsty. that sadly i don't have to stay and help me finish this project but i can at least help contribute to the building materials. were drinking on the job is encouraged. but just one of course

because my next stop was going to take some serious concentration i didn't want to end up with a black hole to. suffer them over. from both a lot ists 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 year. blackbelt of course. it's been. an intensive course. quickly in here who.

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 there's a thriving community. there remedies there are almost

no russians working. different treatments. he was particularly effective. this is supposed to be great for your circulation and. happens to be one of the most things ever experience. just relax and hope. 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 any health way through the treatment. right on hoping that this. all gentle and refreshing the first because now my back 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 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 volatile voyles this is a walk in the park. not sure whether most kids sucked up into little. things. with. centuries of chinese wisdom it was time to see counts in 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 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. 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 stop 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. his most sacred places. this is a holy place and among its 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 who found it supposed to impart some wisdom to me. it could. 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 that fully marks the entrance to paradise. who is less the need to do. is take the stairway to heaven. you lucky 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's put his treasures. won't come into the future what makes a big splash in the world of high tech business questions in advance science into i can't she products they don't understand all he'll which is he's got the fall of russian innovators to easy majors and broad and their big breakthrough back home spotlight on stocking up on technology update here on which we've got the future covered. brighton. from feinstein.

who finds totty dot com. is an amazing experience for both haikus and pilgrims alike but. santa 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 the concern with here i've also got a pretty serious academic program to. this dance sometime police home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument to be had. it's a teaching process for the course of such discussions the students learn the philosophic truth of. your game is the sunni among care to 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 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 language is an arts they focus heavily on tibetan sciences to get. one grade to board the science. fyfe for the sciences and felicity you can teach tippett and that's to. explain the types of paul's. voices. 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 at work a certain rate for fifteen years ok. it's the most important lessons concentrate on buddhist or so my dears and they have some extremely well travelled professors you will see a class. to listen to listeners their teacher all feel most of that bottom line he can from. his. former. kid in his thing and. for nine years for this. thing one want to study and nowadays he teaches people to follow what languages he writes and a bit. more to betson is not what it should be hi decided it was time to goodbye and the monks farewell but these deep intellectual close's 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. 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. we all choose 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 white out of the target zone it's two points any of us

only one. it's a technique that takes years to master but when. i found myself a bit of a. robin hood problem with. let's give it a shot. made from birch bark and horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those snapping in a hurry my point here is the most experienced sure in the village so if i was going to get a lesson from anyone he's the man. in the chair. so . it's a play dress and release. perfect form without an arrow. and see how that changes in about. now and then it was finally time to let it loose ok so i need. a little white.

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 turned to stone 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. 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 power. i was about

to head four hundred meters down into the. mine which produces eighty percent of the country's uranium. they. knew seems a. trench. this is pretty serious equipment. these drills are used to holes in the rock which

is good with explosives it's scooped up and dropped ready for collection. a piece of. wood hard to believe but within this is this small piece of radioactive material. surprisingly around to use any heavy machinery but didn't going to do a little mining your. comes out in to avoid like this and. when you're dealing with one of the most potentially lethal substances on the planet i think i want to put it. the only thing you'll really like me to suffer from down here is dust inhalation butts 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 fault. so it's. probably. mine without any noticeable effects. of the above. the reason was coming to an end but i still have to souvenirs to pick up in the region. hundreds of years the brewery out of had a reputation for beautiful 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 a discount by helping out with the cleaning. specific script he says. the. chef leave us shining away there will be the envy of all of. us. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend the wedding but dreamer 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. 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 by the spirits and by god. 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. 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 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

fall and. be doing it thousands of them. i feel truly only to have been able to share this experience with the reamer and her relatives. an authentic piece of berea family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. and it was a perfect ten minutes of my time as a baikal screen richer. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on r t.
