00:01:17Young people in Albania, what does the daily life of a
00:01:20high school student in the capital Tirana look like, French
00:01:24upbringing, what do parents in France do
00:01:26differently.
00:01:29Hiking on the... Wadden Sea, what all you can experience
00:01:32along the German North Sea coast, all and much
00:01:35more in today's Euromax.
00:01:55Tirana, the Albanian capital, is very popular among
00:01:59tourists. But what is it like to grow up in this city, a
00:02:02young Albanian shows us his daily
00:02:05life.
00:02:09I am Drin, I am 16 years old and I live in Tirana. This is
00:02:13the city where I grew up, where I experienced many things for the first
00:02:16time. Come with me, I will show you what
00:02:19one of my
00:02:20days looks like.
00:02:24Hello, welcome to my
00:02:25home.
00:02:29I live with my parents. My grandmother and grandfather live in an apartment that is
00:02:32connected to ours.
00:02:35This is my mother who always helps me get ready for breakfast and
00:02:38school.
00:02:42Drin's older brother works abroad. In Albania, it is
00:02:45normal for several generations of the same family to live under the same
00:02:48roof.
00:02:51This is my room, I love it. It reflects my
00:02:54character, it is also very practical because I spend most
00:02:57of my time here studying or playing music.
00:03:07Drin's day starts at 6 in the morning, he has to walk quite a bit
00:03:11to the bus that takes him to school.
00:03:15Drin attends a private Catholic high school. Classes start at
00:03:198 o'clock. Today
00:03:21shoe sizes, but in his class has an Albanian language test. Classes end
00:03:24after the sixth
00:03:25hour.
00:03:30After school, Drin stops by his grandmother's, his father's mother.
00:03:34Since his grandfather passed away, she lives alone. On the ground floor there
00:03:37is a room that has a special meaning for
00:03:40Drin.
00:03:42These are the boats
00:03:49that my grandfather and I made for years. These are
00:03:52models of real ships. Grandfather was very
00:03:56dedicated to this and passed that love on to me.
00:04:02land. We have to hurry before
00:04:05"This is my part, as a young man he
00:04:08espresso, and attended a maritime school, later he worked on a
00:04:10ship for years,
00:04:14here's my
00:04:14grandma,
00:04:24Grandma and I are very close so I try to visit her as
00:04:27often as possible, three to four times a week. And on weekends,
00:04:31family is the most important
00:04:33thing in Albania.
00:04:36In the afternoon, Drin goes with his friend Boran to the city center,
00:04:40both are part of the same group of school
00:04:42friends.
00:04:45We hang out outside of school, we play sports, we play
00:04:49video games and we do similar
00:04:50things.
00:04:55Or like today, they go to the bakery together for
00:04:58burek.
00:05:03Burek has become fast food in Albania and is mostly bought
00:05:07to go. It's really delicious, everyone
00:05:10eats it. According to
00:05:13one survey, about half of Albanians cannot afford to go to a restaurant,
00:05:17even occasionally, perhaps that is one of the reasons why
00:05:20burek is so
00:05:21popular.
00:05:26I took sfetom and ricotta cheese, and he
00:05:29took
00:05:33I took with meat.
00:05:35In Tirana, there are many places that recall the country's
00:05:39history. Albania was a socialist dictatorship until
00:05:421991, and for most of that period, Enver Hoxha was at its helm.
00:05:46The then dictator built a large number of bunkers. A large part
00:05:50of the state's revenue was spent on building bunkers like
00:05:53this, so that the population would be safe in case of war.
00:05:57However, that war never came, so all that money
00:06:01was practically spent in vain. Albania
00:06:03is still considered one of the most economically poorest countries in Europe.
00:06:06A quarter of young people between 15 and 24 are not employed.
00:06:10I even feel the need to leave
00:06:13the country to study, because I think that after graduating from university here,
00:06:17I would not be able to choose a professional career. I think that is the biggest
00:06:21problem of the Albanian system and the main thing that needs to be
00:06:25changed.
00:06:26Nowhere in Europe do so many young people
00:06:31leave their country. A third
00:06:34of the inhabitants born in Albania today live abroad, many of them
00:06:38in the European Union. Although Albania
00:06:41is not a member of the European Union, it has had candidate status for membership since
00:06:452014. Drin would like to study
00:06:49mechanical engineering or robotics, perhaps in Vienna, Austria, but
00:06:53he also plans to return home to
00:06:55Tirana.
00:06:57So, that was a day in my life. I sincerely hope that
00:07:01you liked it. Goodbye, peace to
00:07:03you.
00:07:06French children are often considered to be particularly well-behaved.
00:07:09How do French parents manage this?
00:07:13To find out, we visited a family in
00:07:15Paris. Meet Caesar.
00:07:18This nine-year-old moves around Paris by himself, at the last
00:07:22minute he buys groceries for the family dinner.
00:07:26Two baguettes and, please, buy raspberries.
00:07:30Shopping is not Caesar's only household chore, and his
00:07:33sister Emilia regularly helps around the
00:07:36house. I wash dishes and clear away
00:07:40glasses, plates and cutlery. The Vieira family lives in Paris
00:07:43as a perfectly average French family, although
00:07:47Veronique raises her two children, Emilia and
00:07:51Caesar, by herself. She broke up with her partner in
00:07:542020, and the children have mostly been with her
00:07:57since then. What values do French parents
00:08:01try to pass on to their children? We must raise
00:08:04our children. I think it is very important that they are well-behaved.
00:08:08When we eat out, we try to make them behave as they
00:08:11should, that is important to us. It is about
00:08:15setting boundaries, clearly defining
00:08:17priorities.
00:08:23Approximately 8 million families live in France, every
00:08:26fourth has a single parent. France
00:08:29also has one of the highest birth rates in Europe. On
00:08:33average, each woman has between 1.6 and
00:08:36two children. Although that average is the lowest in the last
00:08:40hundred years, it is still relatively high. It's seven in the morning,
00:08:43it's important for families to have breakfast together because they won't
00:08:47see each other until evening. Emilia and Caesar are at school from
00:08:508:30 to 5 p.m. They go to school
00:08:54by themselves. After breakfast, I get ready and
00:08:57leave. I go to school alone. It only takes me five minutes.
00:09:01That's completely normal, everyone
00:09:03does it.
00:09:06Hi darling. I love you, have a good time. See you
00:09:10tonight.
00:09:15Emilia and Caesar actually prefer that no one accompanies them and that
00:09:19no one picks them up from
00:09:20school.
00:09:23Veronique thus has a little time for herself. The mother works in
00:09:26banking. After childbirth, she returned to full-time work
00:09:30when the babies were only three months old. In France,
00:09:34this is common. 2/3 of French women are
00:09:37employed, which is roughly the European average, but
00:09:40many more of them work full-time.
00:09:50are quite independent, in the family they are much more than those who organize
00:09:53everything.
00:09:56As mothers, we are present, but also overly intrusive,
00:09:59at least I think so. We try
00:10:02to be good mothers, but also to develop our lives as
00:10:05women.
00:10:12supports families in various ways, for example, with partial
00:10:16childcare allowances and direct child
00:10:19benefits, but how do French families really share
00:10:22responsibilities when it comes to raising
00:10:26has changed, hasn't it? Among my
00:10:29friends, I see that responsibilities are increasingly
00:10:32shared equally, but we are still far from true equality, I would say
00:10:36that mothers still bear most of the burden. Fathers
00:10:40usually deal with exciting things like
00:10:43excursions, holidays, fun, and
00:10:46we are left with what is not really fun. That's how we are
00:10:50and yes, maybe we feel guilty if we do that,
00:10:53but we are simply better at it than
00:10:56men.
00:11:00Caesar and Emilia usually come home from school around 5
00:11:04p.m., then they do their homework, help
00:11:08around the house. Caesar goes shopping, while
00:11:11Emilia helps with laundry and
00:11:13tidying up. What kind of
00:11:17shoes are these? Take them
00:11:21off immediately.
00:11:27I truly believe that children need clear boundaries,
00:11:30they need to feel frustration sometimes and they need to hear
00:11:34no,
00:11:37and when I say no, I say it because I
00:11:40love them. I also think it's good for their
00:11:43later life, to be independent, so even as children
00:11:47they learn how to manage on their own and
00:11:50they will know that I won't do everything for them, I don't want to
00:11:54do that.
00:11:59One rule in this family is not questioned:
00:12:03communal dinner. Every evening at exactly 7:00, food is
00:12:06on the table, this time they eat salad, chicken
00:12:10and vegetables, which Caesar and Emilia accept without
00:12:13problems. They use the time to be
00:12:15together.
00:12:19What is really important to me is connection.
00:12:23Of course there will be arguments. rivalries, but that's
00:12:26normal, if there's anyone in the world I can really
00:12:29count on, I want them to know that they have each
00:12:32other,
00:12:38after dinner they play cards, talk or watch
00:12:41television, this is a typical evening for the Vieira family, in
00:12:44many ways typical for French
00:12:47society,
00:12:54the Wadden Sea in the north of Germany represents an exceptional natural
00:12:57phenomenon, and is therefore listed as a UNESCO World
00:13:00Heritage Site. We spent a day there exploring all that this region
00:13:04has to offer.
00:13:07Welcome to the Wadden Sea.
00:13:11The Wadden Sea is part of the North Sea, it is the largest system of shallow
00:13:14mudflats in the world. This marine belt remains dry during
00:13:18low tide, while the high tide covers it with water again. Due to
00:13:21its uniqueness, the Wadden Sea has been included in the UNESCO World
00:13:25Heritage List. I am currently in the Wadden Sea National Park
00:13:29in the German state of Lower Saxony.
00:13:32Our day starts at 6:00 AM with a hike across the Mudflats.
00:13:36With guide Joke Puliart, we embark on a 10
00:13:40km long walking tour of the seabed during
00:13:43low tide. Joke shows us some of the smallest
00:13:46inhabitants of the Wadden Sea that we would certainly
00:13:49not have noticed without a guide. We have to see what all is swimming
00:13:53here. But we don't have much time, we have to move on
00:13:57before the tide comes back and the sea rises, the tide and ebb
00:14:01here change twice a day, it's even
00:14:04deeper here, walk a little there, a real current has formed
00:14:07here, come
00:14:08here,
00:14:16now it's raining, today we experienced all kinds of weather,
00:14:19finally we reach our destination, the island of
00:14:22Minzenero. Wet, but happy. We return to
00:14:27the tide completely covers the mudflats. What
00:14:31an adventure.
00:14:33After so much nature, it's
00:14:35time to explore the landscapes and people who live here. That's why
00:14:39we go to the coastal town of Norden, East Frisia.
00:14:42I can't wait to take a break the Frisian way. It's time for
00:14:46tea. This tea is not just a drink here.
00:14:50Tetit, which means tea time. It is part of the East Frisian
00:14:53culture. First, a sugar cube is placed in the cup,
00:14:56and then black tea is added. If everything
00:15:00is done correctly, you can hear the sugar
00:15:04crackling, now perhaps the most interesting part
00:15:06is that cream is added to the tea in
00:15:10a circle, counter-clockwise. counter-clockwise.
00:15:14This creates small shapes resembling
00:15:18clouds.
00:15:18blačićima.
00:15:22The tea is not stirred. And it is drunk in three
00:15:26sips.
00:15:31The first is
00:15:31creamy.
00:15:36The second.
00:15:37bitter,
00:15:42and the third sweetest,
00:15:45that's it, if you are interested in the history of Frisian tea,
00:15:49I recommend you visit the tea museum in Norden,
00:15:53now I'm looking forward to meeting the fascinating inhabitants of the Wadden
00:15:56Sea. The Seal Rescue Station is one of the main
00:16:00attractions here in Norden. Here injured and abandoned
00:16:03seals are cared for and recover before returning to...
00:16:18A seal that loses its mother ends up here.
00:16:20Visitors at the center can learn more about these cute
00:16:24mammals.
00:16:30Today I have the opportunity to help animal keeper Mona during
00:16:33feeding. On the menu are
00:16:36herring. Annually, up to 180 young
00:16:39seals are raised. After approximately 63 days, the animals
00:16:42reach a body weight of 25 kg
00:16:45and can be released back into nature. Seals are brought
00:16:49here because people in the wild get too
00:16:52close to them.
00:16:55The sight of all those fish made me hungry.
00:16:57apetit.
00:17:02One herring sandwich, please.
00:17:03haringama.
00:17:06Fish sandwiches are the most popular street food in northern
00:17:09Germany, a true sign of quality is a sandwich
00:17:12prepared with fresh
00:17:14fish.
00:17:17I enjoyed this day by the Wadden Sea, especially the
00:17:20encounters with its large and small inhabitants. Since this
00:17:24is my home region, I was particularly happy to present
00:17:28it to you. Thank you for watching and see you next
00:17:31time.
00:17:34Every European country has its own characteristic dining
00:17:37culture. In Germany, people gather in a beer garden, in Austria
00:17:41in a coffee house, in England in a pub, in Greece
00:17:44in a kafenion.
00:17:47And what is a Kafenion, we will show you
00:17:49now. Would you dare to enter
00:17:52here or is this place reserved for older
00:17:55men? Are tourists welcome in a Greek kafenion and
00:17:59why should you never stir your coffee. We will show you
00:18:03the customs that make a traditional Greek kafenion so
00:18:06unique. People who choose to come to a traditional
00:18:09cafe are looking for exactly that, an original thing,
00:18:12an authentic experience.
00:18:16Even if you travel alone, you will quickly make contacts.
00:18:20All of us Greeks have something in common, that ease of
00:18:23making
00:18:24friends.
00:18:28With pleasant people, the kafenion is a perfect place, especially if
00:18:31you are looking for something affordable. This is your
00:18:34host, Giorgos Castelo Risios. Earlier,
00:18:37the Kafenion Castelo in Athens was run by his
00:18:40father. Here every word has its
00:18:43weight, when someone says good morning, they really mean it. In
00:18:47cafes, people sitting sometimes don't greet each other, whether you know
00:18:50someone or not, here in the kafenion you feel that you are friends
00:18:53with everyone, part of the community.
00:18:57Kafenion means coffee house. This one
00:19:00opens at 8 in the morning, first comes coffee the Greek
00:19:03way.
00:19:10with boiling water, you don't need a large espresso machine to prepare Greek coffee,
00:19:13ground coffee along with water and a little sugar is simply
00:19:17heated on the stove in a pot known as
00:19:20briki. Are you familiar with this type of
00:19:23coffee.
00:19:27Tourists often drink it the wrong way, thinking it's
00:19:31espresso.
00:19:35Greek coffee must have foam. very slowly, perhaps with
00:19:39a small sweet on the side, but very slowly, it's not
00:19:45beware, there's sediment at the bottom of the cup, never
00:19:49stir Greek coffee,
00:19:53if you visit the kafenion late in the morning, you will mostly
00:19:57find yourself in the company of older men who gather there, many of them are
00:20:00retired so they have time, we meet here without
00:20:04an appointment, those of us who are still here know that...
00:20:07we elect the prime minister here. Kafenion has its roots in the coffee
00:20:15we solve all political crises, practically
00:20:20house culture from the time of Ottoman rule in
00:20:23Greece.
00:20:26Interestingly, the Kafenion once often had the only
00:20:29telephone or the only television in the village. Everyone gathered
00:20:32there. Backgammon, the Greek version of
00:20:36Backgammon, is still regularly
00:20:38played here. At that time, the Kafenion was almost
00:20:42like a consulate. The whole village gathered there.
00:20:46The postman brought pensions and letters and everyone came
00:20:49here. But women were sometimes forbidden
00:20:53to enter, it was strictly male
00:20:56territory, exclusively
00:21:00male place,
00:21:03especially alone.
00:21:06Don't worry, today everyone is welcome. Besides coffee,
00:21:10you can also order other drinks and some snacks throughout
00:21:13the day. Here you can usually get meze, small, freshly
00:21:17prepared traditional Greek dishes. In the evening, more
00:21:21young guests come, the kafenion is often open until one in the morning,
00:21:25or even longer, we drink stronger drinks like rakija and
00:21:28tsipouro, and when it's hot,
00:21:30beer.
00:21:33For lunch we usually have ouzo or tsipouro with meze. In the evening
00:21:37we will drink wine or beer together, but meze is usually on
00:21:41the table throughout the day.
00:21:45I think that in recent years, young people have also started going out
00:21:48en masse to kafenions.
00:22:28The Netherlands is known for its wooden clogs, a tradition
00:22:32more than 800 years old, however this craft
00:22:35is slowly dying out, we visited a man who decided to save it from
00:22:39oblivion.
00:22:44This is Martin Dijman in his workshop. The Dutch
00:22:47shoemaker cultivates the centuries-old art of making clogs
00:22:51worldwide, famous wooden shoes, but his
00:22:54craft no longer attracts new apprentices today. In the Netherlands,
00:22:58a dozen people do it as a hobby, and only a few
00:23:01professionally.
00:23:05Martin, who is one of them, is dedicated to promoting the art and craft
00:23:08of clog making worldwide. My goal is to help preserve the
00:23:12tradition of clogs. Of course, I hope that one day I will show someone
00:23:16the secrets of this craft, but the chances for that are decreasing.
00:23:22Martin was practically born with clogs, here in the Dutch
00:23:26village of Luttenberg, he is the fourth generation in the family
00:23:29that does this.
00:23:33It all starts with poplar.
00:23:36The wood must not have knots, when you
00:23:39start cutting it into pieces, you immediately see if it's
00:23:42good?
00:23:46The wood is then transported to the workshop. Here everything
00:23:49revolves around clogs. Martin has even made works of
00:23:52art from them. On this part alone there are
00:23:56more than 13,00 miniature shoes, but
00:24:00let's go back to the ones that are worn.
00:24:03This is a children's clog, approximately size
00:24:0632, but clogs are actually not made by
00:24:11centimeters.
00:24:16In shoe size, but in centimeters.
00:24:20The clog maker uses tools that he inherited from his ancestors
00:24:23and which were used in the same way more than 800
00:24:27years ago. Left, right
00:24:30check,
00:24:33it once took seven years to master
00:24:35the craft.
00:24:40You don't have to be strong, but the wood must be good,
00:24:44the tools sharp, and the technique perfected.
00:24:47For example, this rest makes it easier.
00:24:51This way you would need more strength, but then there is
00:24:55no need.
00:25:01Once, farmers and craftsmen wore clogs all
00:25:04day, today they are more a symbol of the Netherlands and
00:25:08a popular souvenir.
00:25:11Since there are no new generations of apprentices, Martin promotes
00:25:15his craft himself. At the invitation of the Dutch embassies, he travels
00:25:19the world and meets with
00:25:22kings. I worked in New York, in
00:25:25Kuala Lumpur, in Tokyo, in China.
00:25:28In New York, I met the Dutch king. I
00:25:32was there for 10 days, and the king stopped by for an
00:25:35hour. I am proud that he looked me in the eye, that
00:25:39was of course
00:25:40wonderful.
00:25:48This recognition gives him additional strength, but it is even more important
00:25:52to him that customers are satisfied. The most important thing for customers is the comfortable
00:25:55interior that Martin shapes with a special
00:25:58drill.
00:26:09After about five hours, a pair of clogs is finished,
00:26:13or maybe not?
00:26:15These clogs are finished, but they're not, the wood
00:26:19must first dry, that takes a week, only then
00:26:23can the children start wearing them, then of course
00:26:26they need to be
00:26:27decorated.
00:26:31Every master has his own design,
00:26:35Martin inherited his from his father, but he also made completely different
00:26:39variations of clogs, some of which
00:26:40are only for
00:26:44exhibition. Whether as everyday footwear or
00:26:48a souvenir, clogs have been part of Dutch culture for centuries,
00:26:52preserved to this day thanks to enthusiasts of this craft,
00:26:55like Martin Dijman.
