a broken. bones there in there are you having fun. and if a seven year old can make you around the truck in one piece. well once i figure out how to stop the thing from stalling at least. right i got society i'm making my own. ok so i might not be a natural rebel without a cause but there are some people in to live rather unconventional lives. probably to say the recycling projects around russia still in their infancy but i know around here. you know exactly what to do with. there are. things might do well america. has developed a whole new take on hitting the bottle. of engineer who just can't stop building

and why bother with expensive bricks when there are plenty of alternatives just lying around. so many bottles if you boil it up over the years you know mineral water beer and the linking up with 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 ball through my nice and warm place. and as time went by all the projects crop talked. like this portal tower for instance from the inside it may be all counties version of the london muslim. this. but it's a place for the kids to play and help with the gardening too. is my swimming pool has a double purpose if you prefer still children swim in the water when it's used to watering plants and then will feel this feeling up again will feeling go out

a way to will feel better. ok these projects have made him a bit of a local celebrity he's always had plenty of fans to bring him supply of luxury luxury village news. and if you keep up with a new. country look coming up. it took seventy eight people to collect these bottles even a plaque you know what everyone has brought up in. each building normally takes years to complete it isn't slowing down his property empire his next one isn't always whole and he's always looking for willing volunteers if you want to try and with a few quick tips from the master i was well on my way to an architectural triumph. who is hard work in the hot sun makes a man thirsty. that sadly i don't have to stay and help or how to finish his projects but i can at least help contribute to the building materials he

would ring on the job has incurred his. pleasure with just one of course because my next stop was going to take some serious concentration. didn't want to end up with a black hole to. shock but i'm no rocket. to martial artists. this is ten c. karate club the biggest and most successful in the city some it's run by alexander one of russia's most accomplished karate masters and he's a bully assisted by his son yet gaining. he's a black belt of course i was in for. some . it's been cordial. around. here. an intensive refresher course. but. quickly in here.

over the head. has been teaching here since nine hundred ninety four and estimates he's trained thousand students. sense of the city's population. this is a man who says he wants to attack his with his always blindfolded. when he offered me a little plane struction. to take measures. on the lean mean fighting machine. was just not good i wanted to find somewhere in the city to relax and recuperate. a few hundred kilometers from the chinese border and there's

a thriving chinese community here i don't culture they've also brought their relatives there are almost no russians working in this chinese medicine center and there are a whole range of different treatments. cupping therapy was particularly effective and he was the word of a grandmaster. this is supposed to be great for your circulation and your joints. it also happens to be one of the most agonizing things i've ever experience . and once the muscle. is over then you just relax and have the gels do their thing. it does get better the longer you lloyd but i was still counting down the fifteen minutes i had to wait.

for. us to see good. this new good. old boy. who for such a small person was capable of inflicting so much pain and i was any off way through the treatment. right on happy with the procedures at all gentle and refreshing but because now my back row feels like it's happening council with a tiger. understandably i was a little nervous so i climbed on to my next plymouth but my instructor on dre sued me completely relaxed. ready for some relief at least until i noticed him just sing out of like. the good old one of the month.

because of the very nice with him but good to. see the world through. they may have been using me as a human flown by but it's also supposed to be great for the circulation. compared to those volatile voyles this is a walk in the park. not sure that most kids suck up into little clubs boyles book. is really quite good and i guess those two things because what 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. national park it's the biggest national park in the whole region and it's centered

around a series of sacred. unfortunately most of them all high up on the hills which means if i'm going to see them. a little bit of a trick and of. course i picked one of the hottest days of the year to do it. he says plenty of refreshment available. trucks are said to have been here for millennia and each visit their response to do their bit to keep and. piles of stones that you can see here now made by the pilgrims taking the trek up into the hills it's traditional to remove obstacles from your park so that obviously helps you but also the others who are coming to follow in your footsteps and of course never had 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 the most sacred places. this is a holy place and the man with his name means gorgeous and one of the goddesses is right here in the rock for much you can answer many questions like anyone can profit from the knowledge that just touch the rock with your hands and for it. by. putting my forehead on this rock and 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 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 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. and people believe that flea marks the entrance to paradise. climb up the stairway to heaven. cohabit as a cold drink. then there. will be all much enough to have the spirit speak to your notes is definitely a special energy about our night. incredible

views and natural monoliths make this a memorable trip i was looking for to seeing more of the reasons for this treasures . commit. to. pick and picked . out.

russia would be so rich right. about sam from france to the persian. who finds down totty dot com. elmo in national park is an amazing experience for both haikus and pilgrims alike but he's buddhist center can be found in the argument gloria region buddhism plays a major role in syria 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 to.

this dance and sample is home to around two hundred monks and lay students and there's always a good argument to be heard. it's a teaching process order in the course of such discussions the students learn the philosophic truth of. your game is the senior monk here and author to give me a tour of the impressive temple grounds. it was built back in the late eighteenth seven states but fell into disrepair during the soviet union and for the last twenty years you have jamie 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 tibet and sciences.

one of the great to board the science five for the sciences and philosophy ph you can teach tibetan that tell. six plain the types of parts. so there are lots of different models is what might your pulse tell you're thinking of i'll leave appalls kid nepal's different kinds some long road. trip. and all the others have to be at the market certain rate for fifteen years ok. perhaps the most impatient lessons concentrate on what is themes and ideas and they have some extremely well travelled professors with your class. listeners their teacher all feel most of that bottom line he can from. his.

former. kid to meet his thin. line for the. monastery and now these he teaches us to follow what languages he writes seems to be it is more expensive is not what it should be high i decided it was time to hit by the monks by well but these deep intellectual pluses 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 one of the favorites is simply how is it. who i am. ok that's something that probably would take a lifetime. of 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 boman ship orient style and that's

a little different. beyond choosing a much gauteng targets on the grounds and there are some fairly complicated rules. this point about 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 meters back and gets up to thirty two shots if you know the whites out of the target zone hits two points any of us early one. it's a technique that takes years to master but when in. something with over that of a. robin hood. with the right let's give it a shot. all the bozo made from birch bark and horn and they have kevlar strings so not much chance of those you know her my point here is the most experienced don't share 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 thing didn't about it and then it was finally time to let loose ok so i need to learn every. little white. the one point. where if it hit one of these people put it on their head would you. 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 turned to stone to

exploring some more of the local wilderness nowadays none of this territory is off limits and i was heading to a place that just twenty years ago i would have been allowed anywhere near. there is a huge areas of understood step in this region but in the middle there's 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 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. on this. day. you seem to

constantly be. monday tracked down several levels. this. is a pretty serious quickly. these drills are used to holes in the rock which is then blasted with explosives and scooped up and dropped ready for collection. a piece of more uranium. to believe that within this is this small piece of radioactive material. and surprisingly. use any heavy machinery. going to do in the. well you can't come down

into a boy 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 in the self-pity for. the only thing you really learned to suffer from down here is just inhalation bus and the four thousand tons of. every day there's six tons of concentrated highly radioactive uranium to so grateful. so to buy a privilege you radiate mind without any noticeable effects. of these bits mere glowing in. the region was coming to an end but i still have some souvenirs to pick up in the

region. hundreds of years the bay area of had a reputation for beautiful ornate weaponry like this antiques over knife here 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 notice how to put the sparkle back in. as an artist and so the smith but 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 scrubbing. the bit of elbow grease this is. very. shining away there will be the envy of all of my next story at weddings. ok i'm probably unlikely to ever attend wedding but jurymen did invite me to bury our

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 lawyer sheet. 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 and that 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. so this is considered to be the biggest delicacy sceptical of mongolian boreal speciality the liver i'm not. interested because he knew it is

still warm but it's the problem with freshness here then once we'd seal 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 and this is a very special treat. for exceptionally primal men meat and thought i. would be doing it. i felt truly only to have been able to share this experience with the reamer and her relatives. an authentic piece of a real family life the few westerners ever have a chance to be a part of. i me was a perfect and my time is up michael still richer.
