Die gefährlichsten Länder der Welt - Hörbuch Gefahrenzonen Teil 5 [07:07]
"Die 10 gefährlichsten Reiseziele... ...habe ich auch nicht besucht. Es gibt No-Gos, im buchstäblichen Sinne. Länder, in die man nicht leichtfertig reist, wenn man halbwegs bei Sinnen ist. Solche No-Gos verändern sich natürlich mit der Zeit -- eben war Simbabwe noch am absoluten Boden, man riskierte Mord und Totschlag und wenn schon keine Pest, so doch Cholera. Schon ein Jahr später bin ich dorthin geflogen und erlebte eine der positivsten Überraschungen meines Reiselebens!" Abenteurer und Autor Fabian Balles reiste in die "gefährlichsten" Länder der Welt und gibt seinen Hörern einen wunderbaren Einblick in die geheimnisvollen und teilweise so gar nicht gefährlichen Länder dieser Erde. Ein wirklich eindrucksvolles Hörbuch mit vielen privaten Details, Tipps und Überlebensstrategien für jeden, der das Abenteuer ferner Länder auch einmal wagen möchte!

Tsáchila Cleansing Ceremony [03:27]
Several University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student Optimist Club members traveled to Ecuador to participate in a number of service learning projects. Part of the experience was, of course, to learn something of the local cultures. A highlight was the visit to an indigenous Tsáchila village in Ecuador's northern coastal rainforest. The Tsáchilas are noted for their unique hairstyle fashioned by mixing oils with the ground seeds of the Achiote plant. The group, according to various sources on the Web, numbers about 2000--but the local shaman says that there are only about 700 native speakers of the Tsáchila language. The spiritual cleansing of individuals by the shaman is a key part of the culture, and we had the opportunity to participate in a cleansing ceremony. The video shows key elements of the ceremonial cleansing process.
