Alarm at the emergency exit we them again once the first word to bring, our clever accident adventurers and forgetful.

Asian travel and now make you comfortable please, forget that you are in the cinema and accompany us on a small world tour. These days, because small trips around the world are written in capital letters, we were on the road. Lufthansa German Airlines started its opening flight to Bangkok and Asia began Pakistan's capital for us after 20 hours in Karachi.

Karachi: Karachi we met probably at the time the most prominent travelers in terms of world politics. President Eisenhower, referred to by the inhabitants of Pakistan as a "Champion of peace", enjoyed a reception without example.
The official talks with Emmanuel Khan dealt with Asian communism. The mounted bodyguard of the President then made the program of an apolitical afternoon. New Delhi: In New Delhi, President Prasad and Prime Minister Nehru welcomed the American guest as "Prince of peace". 2 million Indians were so thrilled that Eisenhower's bodyguards then went to medical treatment.
In a speech called Eisenhower to the fight against poverty all over the world.

Calcutta: Misery and poverty encountered us on many places in Kolkata. The capital of West Bengal is the largest city in India with a population of 5.5 million and is situated in an area commonly referred to as "Indian Ruhr".
Life in this industrial city is often depressing and fascinating at the same time. It's a confusing mess in which the untouchable sacred cow also claims its place as the free air masseur at the Hughlifluß, whitewashed Hindu sectarians, who purports to be a Saint, or the diviner who reads the future from the hands.

Srinagar: India has two faces. And it was a completely different picture than the youth of Calcutta celebrated the "day of the child".
The "children's day" is celebrated everywhere festive in India. It is the expression of a fundamental, national reform, which wants to ensure a carefree youth the Indian child.

Orissa: An expedition journey separates us from 6 days of this event and the shots that we made in the jungles of Orissa. Here lives Ursula Danny stone, a German nurse, as only white at the root of the Adevasis, which is almost 100% ill according to a UNESCO report. With a rifle and medical case, Ursula Danny stone makes her sick. The villages are about 40 kilometers and leads through the jungle only a single viable option.
Where always sister Ursula appears, people in bright crowds gather. The natives trust her and the reputation of their helpfulness sounds in the jungle of Orissa now as a wonderful tale. Bangkok - city of wonder our next and last stop was Bangkok. At the airfield were Transport Minister Seebohm and federal Postmaster Stücklen welcomes Thai tradition. Then opened the gates to the city of the temple, of which Bangkok has about 400.
The 28 metre high monument of standing Buddha at the Temple of Indra is one of the most important sights.
Military sounds reminded us again of the timeliness of the day. The Royal Guard to celebrate of the 32nd anniversary of King Pumiphol paraded before the Thai Parliament.
The modern and the old Asia! Nowhere the contrasts are more conciliatory towards as in Thailand, where all people look happy, simply, because they are happy.
Maybe we have to hurry to capture the Visual charm of ancient Bangkok once again. And actually, it hastens! In the middle of the colourful scenery we met a German film team with actor Wolfgang Preiß, the elephant boy Sabu, the videographer, Richard angst and the Director William Dieterle during recording of a deutschenMillionenfilm: "Our Lady of the world".
Yet the jeweled crowns of old costumes glitter, but already the nightly neon signs of Jawarad road, which all recommend, what a modern urbanites requires Flash.

À la Thai Boxing the Siamese are extremely keen on sport and the two young men, still silent and absorbed are probably asking the same Gods favor, will clash in the next minute, to get success in putting all extremities. The whole thing is a boxing match of à la Thai.
The fight against mosquitoes is recorded during the lull, which appears but eventually just as meaningless as the explanation of the Thai box rules for European viewers. In the event that you come to Thailand, we can you tell already, that this type is maintained by box art in Bangkok four times a week and every time it comes to any Championship.
Free ring to the last round; the gods decide now for the better of the two fighters.
If you also want to know who won: he is called Charmanee Ruangthon and won on points.

International competition in artistic gymnastics 5.55 points, with this incredibly narrow margin won turn Russia's elite at the international match against Germany in Krefeld, Germany. It was a contest of great achievements, which was the German team surprisingly well in the race.
During a floor routine of Russian Pavel Stolbow, an exercise that was highly rated.
Helmut Bantz on parallel bars. Of the 38 old masters qualified as third single Turner.
A turnerischer treat was the Freestyle of world champion Albert Azarian at the rings. The cross slope of the Russians is outbid by anyone at the time.
Second-best gymnast of the day: the German Philipp Fürst. His consistent performances earned valuable points his team in all disciplines, Boris Chaklin, referred to as the best gymnast in the world, took individual victory also in this Ländertreffen. He excelled with a sweeping and sophisticated routine on the horizontal bar.

An exhibition was opened messengers of heaven in Recklinghausen, showing representations of Angels from several centuries. The Angel as a means of being between man and God employed the Western art since the fourth century, and throughout the centuries is the Angel as image become one symbol of pure spirituality a topic which deals with almost every artist. And so a further by then to the today extends. Although the Angel has a permanent place in our imagination, he evades yet any precise definition. But year after year it becomes for us the reality, if we bear in mind that we have received the customer of the Gospel through him.
