Coming up on this weeks travel show. Were in colombia, exploring the legacy of one of the countrys most controversial criminals. Were here at pablos prison five star resort oops did ijust make that man crash . I hit the road in tokyo, taking tourists for a ride. They look a bit shell shocked and global gadgets gives you the lowdown on how to take a selfie from up in the sky hello and welcome to The Travel Show, coming to you this week from tokyo in japan, with me, carmen roberts. A little later on in the show, ill be trying my hand at pulling one of the iconic rickshaws that weaves its way through the streets here. But first. Were in medellin, in the north west of colombia. Two decades ago it was one of the most dangerous cities in the world, as the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar waged war against the government. Now, the city has been transformed, but for many tourists who come here, the fascination with escobar endures. We travelled to his hometown to find out how tours about his life are dividing Public Opinion there. People are still scared, and still are scared to come to colombia, especially medellin. For a long time it was the most violent city in the world. Were here at la catedral, pablos prison five star resort la catedral was a jail that escobar built for himself and which was part of the agreement with the government that he would turn himself in, but he would come to his jail. In here, theyve still got some of the remains of what used to be his bed. The frame. Pretty big bed if you look in here, theres a plaque on the wall with little white crosses. Thats a memorial to, i think, the amount of people they think were killed here when pablo was here. Right here, he kept people that you saw on the little white crosses, and they say what he would do. He would clap his hands and say, you know where youre going, lets go. Hell take them back here by the back side of the property and push them off a cliff. So this is the view he would see over his domain. At that time, pablo ran medellin. Medellin was his. This tour has become very controversial, even with the mayor here of medellin. I can understand that, because they lived through some terrible times. Some people are trying to glorify this guy, and they actually have a name for it. They call it narco tourism. How do you feel about the Pablo Escobar tours . In the beginning i didnt want to come on the tour because i was like, should i go on the tour . Itd be giving money to something that created such devastation in the past. More tourists know about it, more around the world, so the more real it is. I think that the kids of colombia also need to learn about him, so i think it could actually be a school tour as well, possibly, notjust for tourists. Now we are headed to barrio Pablo Escobar, and thats the actual name of the neighbourhood he built 300 plus houses for these people that were living in the city dump. He went and got them out of the dump, gave each one of these families their own house. As you can imagine, people here love him. You might not make it out of here if you come up here to talk bad about escobar alright, here we are at pablos grave. This is the man right here, his final resting place. Pablo Emilio Escobar gaviria. Ive had one group come and wanted to sniff cocaine off the tombstone i was like, man, do what you want. Its up to you, if thats what you want to do. I dont tell them what they can or cant do. It aint my cemetery. As you can see, people here taking selfies. You can sit here all afternoon and you just see people coming and going, coming and going, to come and see the grave. Its part of the history here, i dont think we should forget what happened in that era and how that came about. Time now for our global gourmet. This week were in the parisian Market Districts for a masterclass in how to create one of frances favourite pastries. I am the founder here. I started when i was 19 years old, so it was in 2012. My idea was to have a new challenge and to create something new. I love the pastry of the eclair, and i said, no stores in paris sell good eclairs. This special machine. You can do very beautiful eclairs. You can do it by hand. We do, like, 500 a day. To have the same eclairs, we need a machine like this. You will see how it works. Very, very beautiful eclairs with this machine. Here we are in what they call the second district, its really in the centre of paris. The eclair was invented in france by antonin careme, like, 200 years ago. In france, the eclair is the most popular pastry. For several years it has been elected the most favourite pastry. And when you are young, it is the pastry every child knows and wants to eat, because you have chocolate to have the best quality, everything is made here, every morning. We have only one store in paris, so we can control everything. We have always chocolates, salted butter caramel and vanilla, the most popular, but after we have original flavours like mont blanc, chestnut cream. Theres one that works a lot, raspberry blackcurrant. We created more than 100 flavours. There are a lot of stages in creating an eclair, the choux pastry, the cream, and after, the decoration. But if the choux pastry is not good, you will not have a good eclair. We have several sizes of eclairs. Small eclairs, regular eclairs and giant eclairs. Its an eclair for eight persons, for christmas or birthdays still to come here on The Travel Show. Hello, bbc travel we meet the team who are travelling the world by rickshaw. So dont go away The Travel Show, your essential guide wherever youre heading this is tower bridge, one of londons tourism crown jewels, but if you watch the people whove come to see it, theyve got one thing on their minds. This week, its all about selfies. Were taking a look at some of the tech that might help you take better snaps first. A way to get a bit more distance between you and the camera. Sometimes you need a wider perspective. The airselfie is an ultra light flying camera with built in wi fi, which connects to an app on your phone. It also gets its power from this case, that you get in the box. At 61 grams, its pretty lightweight, so in theory that makes it easy to fly, but on a day like this. The wind keeps getting it that means i keep having to chase it the airselfie. Its a Cool Contraption and a nice idea, but unless youre flying it in completely non windy surroundings, you can pretty much forget it. And what youve got to remember as well, its still classified as a drone, which means in some parts of the world its illegal to fly it in built up areas. The most popular way to get yourself into the frame properly is by investing in one of these. Its called a selfie stick. So, how much should i spend on a new stick and what features should i be looking out for . Well, my new friend leads smartphone photography tours. Pretend youre not looking. So if anyone will know, she will. If youre thinking of taking them on your trips, its very important you take something youre comfortable with. For example, this anchor, its compact, it will fit in your pocket, your bag or carry on luggage. Its not heavy. Have a feel. Wow. Nice and light. And also, the clamp. We have this from a corner shop. Very wobbly. I can see its wobbly. New phones coming out right now, worth £600, £700, so i wouldnt go cheap on the selfie stick if it risks. Yeah, the materialfeels cheap. If youre into more serious outdoor situations, sport, adventures, you may want to try this polar pro. Wow, a beast the great thing about it is that you can recharge your phone and your gopro here. Headphones as well, with usb ports. This is waterproof . Waterproof. Go underwater, do water sports, go fishing. Wow. Whatever you want. How much does Something Like this cost . £80 to £100. Wow, thats a lot of money for a selfie stick yeah, beacause its more than a stick you can be powering your phone for 12 hours of battery. If youre definitely sure youre going to be using this a lot, then go for it, but if youre starting and you just want to experiment, go with the safe option. But if you want something a little extra for your selfies, this is ourfinal tip. This is the giroptic io, a pocket friendly camera that shoots 360 degree photos and steals live streams to youtube and facebook. Its really easy to use. Thats mainly because theres no set up process. Simply take the device, plug it into the bottom of the iphone, it fires up the dedicated app. The minute you fire up the app, you have options to take photos, shoot video, stream. Simple stuff. I can easily pan around the surroundings. Theres the cameraman wave, say hi hi the Ice Cream Van compared to other devices on the market, bigger, clunkier, this probably feels a godsend, although the fact it plays nice with apple only. That isnt going to be to everyones favour. The quality, as far as i can see, is pretty good. But for the price, youve really got to ask yourself, is this something youre really going to use . Now, come to tokyo and youre surrounded by so many iconic sights and sounds. But maybe none is more japanese than the hand pulled rickshaw in other cities around the world, Tourist Rickshaws are sometimes seen as an unregulated menace. But here in asakusa in tokyo, the hand pulled carts are a much loved symbol of the city. Theyre so iconic, in fact, theres a boyband dedicated to the rickshaw plus, theres another group of drivers who have become social media stars as they document their rickshaw journey around the world. At the moment theyre in cambodia. Hello, bbc travel their aim is to introduce people to Japanese Culture before the Tokyo Olympic games in 2020. See you guys soon you can follow the teams epic journey on social media, but if you want to try a hand pulled rickshaw for yourself, theres no better place than asakusa in tokyo. Hi ive come down to meet one of the citys few female Rickshaw Drivers. So how did you get into this career . I liked the marathon i went to the hong kong marathon, vancouver marathon, many races, and one day i saw the rickshaw in asakusa and oh, i thought, this is myjob it felt like destiny wow, ok yeah the rickshaw, orjinrikisha as theyre called here, was invented in tokyo in the 19th century. Her boss told me how things have changed since then. Translation the rickshaw used to be like a taxi a long time ago, but now its more for entertainment. A good Rickshaw Driver needs to quickly feel what the customer wants to do. Some people want to be entertained, some want to see the scenery, some want to listen to the guide. It depends on the customer. Ok, first we have to look the part. Youve got me a uniform . Yeah 0k. Here we go. And then heres a belt. Very long one turn one more, i think and make it tight. Ta da and to complete the look im wearing those traditional split toe shoes. Its more comfortable than Running Shoes is it . Yeah there we go. You got it i might look the part, but i soon realise theres more to the job than just manoeuvring the rickshaw. Many cars are crossing very close to me. Its kind of scary. This is the main street of asakusa. We have to talk during running, but at the same time im like. She pants. Its harder than a marathon im beginning to think i should have trained for this. How heavy is this . 100kg what . Wow, thats heavy ok, you sit like this, hold maybe here, then stand up very slowly like this. 0k. Because if you do it quick, the customer gets very scared. Oh, isee. Yeah. And the most important thing is to keep balance. 0k. Now its my turn. Yes now, ill be slow, try not to scare you. 0k wow, wow good, good. Thats good . Yes 0k. Youre a bit heavier than i thought youre alright . A nice, easy pace. Trying not to scare my passengers. 0k. Oops did ijust make that man crash . Yes. Was it my fault . No lesson over, its time for my first customers. Ok, so theyre two small children. But it still counts they look a bit scared slowly. Up these two are heavier than you here we go this isnt too bad, actually. Once you get going, you get a bit of momentum. They look a bit shell shocked highfive i think its safe to say its best i leave that to the professionals, but if youre in tokyo and want to give a proper rickshaw tour a go, youll find the drivers near the kaminarimon gate, near the exit of the asakusa metro station. Ride time is agreed in advance, and the cheapest option is a ten minute jog around the neighbourhood for roughly 3,000 yen, thats roughly about £35. Well, thats all weve got time for on this weeks show. Coming up next week. Were injaffa, in israel, to meet the actors who perform as part of the worlds first ever deaf blind theatre company.
