the holiday season upon us we've decided to get well and truly into the festive spirits and consent. a real winter wonderland. i think no place faced out discussion better than the northern russian or for blake of cordelia is not right. the piano express is one of the few in steam fate and still regularly in service in the country, the smell of the cold face of his name and the song of the west. so it's almost like going by a bygone era. so without further ado, let's get on board and get them the way

the submitted. there's something magical about traveling on a steam train these days, especially at this time of year. we seem to have a little more carry it to the modern electric trains. what do you think it is? but since the last one,

but i wasn't getting the notice to let to move is always an extraordinary experience which has been like, are every day trips and more than trains go with it is something truly magical in challenging about isn't that easily on a steam locomotive has a unique reason, almost like it's a life. and that is where it's chum lies for science care with this technology dates back to the taurus and so the 2 years older generations, remember these trains and steam engines, incorporation, 11 younger generations have never seen them in real life. and there's some don't even know what the cold so it's like a new experience for some nostalgia for us. yes, that's absolutely correct. and tell me about the little scottie express itself. where did the root come from, and what makes it so special martial to discuss. good ru scale express runs between the city of sorts of all and roost. killed the mountain pug. nobody comes. this jewel of co, really entering these in mobile quarry that wants to play device a role in the construction of st. petersburg. so it's

a historical root. and this and syria, it's just magnificent. walter era, is it supposed to reflect this strain is a combination of different historical elements. and for example, the look of motives and cause originated from the soviet era. i caused a back to the 19 seventy's and eighty's why the locomotives are from the 1950s. in the postwar period, however, i mean to raise, have been recreated with design elements from the color of sky railway representing the tourist imperial tiara, and put on the account we're currently in is the truth lifestyle to reflect the soviet period was absolutely wonderful. so again, if you ask any russian what they associates with a trained trip in the country, i bet they'll say it's this glass on the ordinate metal holder. with this traditional come from and why is he always served in this type of glass that sits in the railway tradition of 17 glow sold as cheese above all practical one not

spare, with the use of tall trucks in the gloss contains boiling water, making it necessary to have an insulator austin to hold the gloss comfortably and stuff during the imperial year. uh, these holders will only view only like items are commonly found in wealthy households. but by the end of the 19th century, more affordable and practical bloss hold is became widespread immune immunizations . then the tradition has endued the n. t on trains is still served in these hold is it's the roof and made from nickel bras, or called the more legs you raise versions of corrupted from silva there for the k usually go to work for you while i'm not seeing them yet. but some guy says thank you so much for telling me about the scalia. you're welcome. thank you for the

adult. you have us much choice, especially with them both. so you see the little scale to express isn't just a train, right? it's a whole luxurious experience that gives you the real feeling of a life would have been likes to the sauce in motion the if you want to go back the way you came. so the real scalar express uses this line to the table to do 118

the instead of gate, you'll drive a all 0 scale, an express train, and i can't think of anyone better. tell us more about the engine itself. how different is it driving a steam chain like this from say, a diesel or an electric train? 80 photo of adoption of the steam engine started in 1945. i do really to start one of these just to fire up the furnace and get it up to a certain temperature and pressure. but we have to get the train moving. the driver opens and closes miles, relying on gut feeling. so there's no tech to assess to determine exactly how much team is needed to see the engine and get it moving. exactly how much water on the cold, the years on this route or for 12 hour shifts of the train consumes 3 to 4 tons of cool and approximately 15 to 20 tons of water super morning. it's quite some think is the so, you know, i've seen the inside of the cabin and it seems a bit crumbs intuitive because it's all the ghosts from the coal on is quite

a physically involved the way according to you to it. what drew it to this works because the fact that when you drive a steam engine, you sort of fuel that has a soles for this kind of become one with it while driving. most folks and as a whole different feeling, it's addictive. one day you realize that you one more and more of a failed interaction with a machine like this, this thing, and you don't get the feeling for modern trains. so to me on the move to modern trains don't give you that feeling. they're totally different. it's a little how long does it take for you to learn to drive a steam train like this or re qualify? to be honest, because i've been working on this train for 10 years and this, and i'm still learning really because that heavy trip is different from the train may behave differently every time. and yours have to be on lookout for any irregularities. the boy is ready to handle them and drive on to the doors and fight something you never stop learning to do so. each team train behaves differently. so you have to get no each strain each has its own character. off on, do you have

a favorite one? 0 so i can't say i have a favorite ones here. they are all my favorites. you just have to figure out each of them and learn to control them. well that's now we live in an age where we have a super modern comfortable electric trains. but what do you think still attracts people to steam? things like this on a bike, on air? do you think it's a certain sense of nostalgia romanticism? otherwise cool. well, i think the people who don't know their history have no future. so my life people are attracted to the history of trains the way the engines of develop all the monitor local modems that we have in our originate from steam engines. and this is for the people want to know the history of how it all the gallons of 50 train rides might be over with the magic dozens. and the camellias and exotic landscape is shrouded in ancient legends and miss. we've come to the scale of the melting pot, which has

a rich mining history. so let's think deep the so what can you tell us about the landscape and cordelia and what does it tell us about the ancient geology of the region? one soft for little ones, the whole landscape was calmed down by a glassy sure. but it's quite incredible when you think about this year. more than 10000 years ago, the glue c a was like powerful sand paper or a cost file. then literally scraping away the surface, so i'll play you have listed revealed what do you all logistical to both x ray or any of that will defend a scan the windshield is it's known internationally with this pressure. if it was these rocks and stones and minerals that created this amazing pallet of colors and tenix, jessica authority, some of the, the stones have volcanic origin,

cisco like marble. for example. with these ones, let me see here. it's actually transformed deep, underground work stream. he's been pressure created these don't you to full phones and stripes. we think today, all sorts of ethnic groups live in correctly. i'm what can you tell us about the relationship with this region and nature here, both past and present. what did you say to you? this region has seen more than 10 different people is interacting across some vast distances. for centuries, orders from the city. the history goes back the more than a 1000 years where it relates to the office of the glazier, retreated north, saw me with the 1st to settle here, though they like to move further north. the russians call them the potty. they hunted reindeer hunted and finished with the bible. then came the canadians, who were more agriculture oriented in to fight industrious. the unique micro climate of this area really shape tell these people's lives. yeah. but as they had to live in harmony with nature, there was simply no other way to survive here on your cards as to what it was a coke because somebody didn't. so it's also

a place where you can see how the landscape shapes of people's mindset when they have a new come those who settled here and adapted to this reality. and just 10 to 15 or 20 years without drawing inspiration from the territories. and eventually living just like true could really answer the car dealer. i know that currently isn't just famous for its model like this is also known as the lens of a 1000 lakes. can we go and see some of them? but i don't. yeah. so let me show you one of i likes the . busy busy busy hacking, there was so many lakes getting caught in the midst of most of all next performed by degrees c, which copped out huge grooves as it moved across the terrain. so the longer only will those grooves and length of field with walter noise was as easily exhaust,

simply beautiful, and never failed to inspire us. no, i sorta like the eyes of nature reflecting the sky above the house, the prevalence of so many bodies of will to light this influence local police and folklore. and are there any stories you can tell us about it? what questions of the human every body of water in camelia has its own guardian spirit as needed? and as a chief guardian like a senior award to spirits cold of dealing with these in charge of the whole territory or deciding where they should swim and who deserves a good catch. so it's good. hopefully, you can be bless that a good catch if you understand and h as low. so if you don't take more than you need when you want, if you live in harmony with your local lake, nice nearby. if you don't to lift up, i've got to move. these police are still very much alive today. and local people really try to maintain that harmony with nature. and those who break the rules associated with that well. but what they know makes it has its own harsh way of dealing with them, hoping to understand that's what we believe around here. how can we get them going? mm hm. so you mentioned the budget and all you had the water spirit. i've been and

clearly a while now i'm getting the feeling that the trees, the rocks, the bolts of the old car. yes. so it's a significant so some people believe that the inhabited by spirit say what's on that as a whole new family of mythical creatures here look. so should we call them the number x ray. and because it's an attempt to give a mountain twist to the old time belief and friendly spirits, i really don't. okay, will you tell me, please? i said just when but yes it was. let's go and meet them. and that's a minute when we get to him the picture because they'll be talking just a moment or you can, you can see symbolizes the wisdom contained in the scale. yeah. mountain box, nature or particles, his name and what is what kind of what you say see it for a reason. this mission is to god the entrance to the underground world. right. let's go and take a look what the look. yeah. a while this is the entrance to the skin caves deal

this very place is of all around the was a mountain called green mountain to see if there's as you can see this little left of it because of decades of mobile mining. so what, i'm, what i now i said, yes, we go and see the caves inside the green mountain. let's go and take a closer look. it's an absolutely was seeing you want the, the soviet community underground caves and those key allah makes me so special. i'm

trying to shift, so this is the very hard to the scale mountain past. the entrance to the caves is actually shrinks like a hobble to. yep. uh huh. so it's the big thing out of the area in every sense at the moment, and it's all new place of power. a place that inspires gross development of creativity. because this project has given a new life to the old risk of their model calories as part of a history on the culture, which is absolutely invaluable. bruschetti, a mobile call res. what's the name of the enterprise to mind mobile back here in 18? 96. so this place is both about to unique nature and technology, the shingle, and it has this mesmerizing look to it, which makes it almost the worldly and mysterious, awful night. absolutely loved and admired every single time. i am very proud of it to assume the,

the, the, the landscaping is dr. by jane bold as an unusual rock formations on this, on the, even the say the giants used to rome, the land to is that how the ancient people explained the landscape? oh no, i used to be younger. oh yes. as a legend about giants committed the mysterious method elaine and who could easily pick up huge rocks and throw them around. so locals koreans had to watch out for them at so which them and then they had an alliance with people, according to one of the legends and helps the canadians move these huge boulders to the edges of the field support. and also there was even a period of co operation between the giants and regular people. yeah. but of course, that's a legendary although what's interesting is that there might've been something that gave rise to these belief. so there are rumors that the archaeologist will offend, found an unusually toll human scale. it's in her will though wherever is it,

we don't know, but i know the idols made up to stone ancient petra glanced and even mazes made out to stone. the local people have bestow special meaning on to the rocks here is due to i used to be in the they're all the so called magical rocks. rocks that are a life ethical. have them. how is at least circuits the 3rd? that's what ancient people believe. 10 years in the 50, over as a fellow of the korean science and research center. but i am convinced that any ferita held on legend usually has a scientific explanation. you have sent the, getting some people and such as the subbing for godaddy on this end of eps. freedom of solely that central rock formations had special powers for him no longer if they made offerings to them. whatever talks to them. i've talked to the key thing about it listed, all list that'll help people to explain the landscape personally. and i want to just, i'm thinking, i believe that we can safely say that these ancient rituals where in fact, pre causes of molten geology on the science about landscape and to rain man, monkey o griffey. and the risk of the mountain park is

a unique place where we can talk about the history of mobile mining with deal about ancient belief or near and about the present day life of korea. the, the new year is just around the corner, and it's often a good time to reflect some of the just gone. and so wonder, well the next one has in store was take the guesswork out of it. we've come to the sides of an ng some settlements of the saw me people here in colorado. yeah. well we hope to find out exactly what 2025 holes in one vision, the

good news this monday. the really the, the saw this as an ancient sites of the saw me. people are so you have a lot of these wooden totems on the ground say what does this symbolise? it's awesome. we saw many people has and pagans for a very long time. but even when christianity came to their lands, they especially adopted it, but remained pagans in their hearts at all. continuing to worship their ancient gods and ancestors and so on. and here we can see some of those gods of goods, liberty may have, for example, man dosh here is a god that's half human, half reindeer. are these regarded as the 4 father of the saw me or pretty? it's come. some of it will be, so in a way the saw me and the reading there are relatives. so i'm of no,

as far as i know, the saw me, they've been celebrates new year christmas like we do obviously, is december had many people are preparing for those holidays. and when they did have a festival of the people snow, can you tell me about that? please let us know. of course in the ancient times the saw me couldn't have had new year because back then they were a whole different nation with the different calendar and different traditions. now of course the saw me celebrate new year just like everyone else, but they also keep their agent tradition of celebrating poor snow day on january 7th. we'll start over on that day. the saw me bathing snow to cleanse themselves from everything old, outdated, and unnecessary. god, the words on that day people also make a wish most for wish to come true. if you write it down and then burn that note in the fire they take, now we can go to our fire and do just that. a perfect success story. the

computer's slow, but you have this tradition where you have to write a wish on a bit of paper and then throw it into the flames. is there any specific way that i need to formulate this wish? can i wish for anything if i telephone about it? wish not then country a long you well not good. 11 thing is to make your wish as detailed as possible. if you just say i want to be, have need to, we might just use your mind and start smiling for no reason for such as the sort of . so you need to say exactly what makes you happy. almost just in reason you and of course, do not tell anyone what you wished for, so you don't drink satisfied with them in order for wish to come true on new years, you know, one casa, the saw, many people, santa claus deluxe, the wishes from people, and throws them into his magic fire, which has to be made in the cauldron. then the wishes are granted, obviously, but since i'm on the costs is not here yet. you for this as new years, eve is

a few weeks away. people can give their wishes to shopping some on i'm ready. i'm ready, like the closets and then put your wish into the showman who's drum landscape. oh, yeah. a leah and i will call on the spirits of the north, south, east and west beach. and now we confirmed the piece of paper with your wish, the new parcels, like these close to us. all right, so where did this traditional come from? most of the police around and they've got a flock of sing though. the fire, hear, it has always been considered to be a messenger between the earth and the sky,

because the smoke rises up and reaches the spirits and gods this way they hear us. so sacrifices were often thrown into the fire in the old days, and to make your wish come true, we have burned your note. and that's going to float up to the sky now. that's high, and it goes straight to the upper world next to products. the while it is so sacred to the saw many people. uh, cuz we saw me say that we are reindeer people because reindeer help us create our homes. they are transportation, our clothes are food, our medicine, and our souls between us. in fact, in ancient times, the saw me covered their houses or fox us with reindeer skins. they made clothes for me, skins treated diseases with the blood of the reindeers with you and their antlers. and naturally, their diet also consisted of reindeer meat and reindeer milk or didn't use so the saw me people's whole lives revolve around reindeer and you will live without them . they would be completely different and leveled up. mm hm. now this months or ya,

gill is it's called the silly li, adult best most. but it also believes that it has health benefits for humans as well. what makes it so special? uh yeah, get it. yeah, go is the favorite suit, me but it's not the only thing. he says they also have tree bark and grass. but the reindeer little moss contains all the new trims and vitamins. they need that much and we'll go live all the and the saw me themselves. also make yegell brew. it's a great remedy for costs and colds. it was through me in system one more. you can add the brute to t or drink it as it is a the, the, the, this is from coach of 14 settings here in korea. i see we have some students here on the table with symbols on one of these useful. if the can do enough good,

these are scandinavian rooms. they can be made of stone bones or pieces of wood. what matters are the symbols depicted on them. if you want, we can give it a try pro bullets. we'll get that. well, you read my thoughts that was going through the next question and we'll just 2025. how the in store for our program in limitations? me move away at the is that guy? what do you do is ask the spirits for god's your question. so they answer after all, and then without looking, you take 3 rooms out of the bag. okay. well i chose any of them call out to you, then take the rooms out and place them here, the area. mm hm. what does this come about next year? we'll say, wow, you've got to see, she wrote me a bit, represents wealth and doing that stuff. so whatever you need, we'll definitely come to you this year and i move, i'm pretty much the most,

whether it's intellectual wealth, material or spiritual and whichever you need to hold. oh, got it. so the notion of, we did, wow, i mean, so it is the best one to pick out. well, readers are neither good nor bad in this case. yes, this is a good one, but we'll certainly take that the next to the stock donna now, the 2nd one is the canals room. it's the room of in our fire, the fire in your heart, and the fire of creativity works the way it's about having passion for what you do and the ability to share the same sparks with other people. so it burns within them to hold on various appropriate for our show rooms to create a c o. d. ok. so let's see what the 3rd one brings us will not i, this is the room of the wild, so called the lose. this room signifies strength and health on energy and the ability to push through any obstacle and work towards your goal was these are all very nice rooms. i'm very happy with those loons. really slow and thank you so much

sources say because gosh, killed over 72000 children business it my god. they have done a roll of nose up that of course i say, you know, they may have done one up front that they have just done with general to go a b c on that. and even the germans themselves were horrified by the atrocities committed by the stash reflection of that. so the deluxe and bill are staying up to 3 months, at least our structure, possibly a bit too tight, not to allow me to research on the

the russian aviation officials confirmed the other body. john airlines plane crushed on christmas day tried to land in pros, nate, but was unable to because of aerospace closures, due to ukrainian prune attacks. the aircraft commander made 2 attempts to land. the plane in groves needs, which were unsuccessful. the commander was offered other apples. he decided to go to act out at port election eminence the german parliament is officially dissolved following an earlier no confidence votes in the coalition government of the countries president. hence, foreign influence could be blamed if the opposition, when the head of the world health organization is.
