Ostwärts

The book about the successful TV series "Go East." How do you eat soup with your hands without having to change afterwards? And why is tea poured back into the pot three times in Kyrgyzstan? Julia Finkernagel entertainingly shares her personal premiere as a "Go East" traveler. In about 25 short episodes, the journey starts in Leipzig and travels through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Southern Russia, and the Caucasus, reaching Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. She recounts how she got spooked at the Castle of the Blood Countess in Slovakia, ended up in prison in Russia, and why she met Peter Maffay in Romania. Julia Finkernagel was not accompanied by a large television crew, but traveled alone with a cameraman and a porter on a small budget. This required a lot of improvisation, ensuring great punchlines and an exciting behind-the-scenes look! Features: black and white, approximately 80 black and white photos.
