Now on bbc news, The Travel Show. This week on The Travel Show, i head to brunei to check out the Worlds Largest floating town. Hello ade is in london to find out why so many nightclubs are closing down. Bingo im it kind of looks like a spare part that has fallen off a stormtrooper. And tommy plays around with the latest in travel gadgets. For many, london is a dream destination. It is a city steeped in a rich history and maybe that is why it is the most visited city in europe. But is it still top when it comes to its nightlife . In the last five years, an estimated a0 club venues have closed their doors in london and that has got promoters worried. Some of the most iconic nightspots have simply gone. So is london even up there any more when it comes to number one clubbing destinations worldwide . I would describe it as the most diverse Clubbing Scene in the world, as opposed to the leading or the best. I think the reason for that is because you have other cities in the world, for example berlin, where clubbing is supported by the local authorities a little bit more positively. And the same maybe can be said for amsterdam as well. However, saying that, there is still a very strong Dance Music Scene in london. The Ministry Of Sound is celebrating 25 years. I cant believe it, because i came here in the early days. This place started off as a small club in a derelict garage and it has since become a massive global brand. In fact, at one stage, it owned the biggest independent record label in the world, selling over 70 million records. Hey Ministry Of Sound was londons first ever super club and has survived a number of attempts to shut it down. Justin berkmann is one of the founders. He is also one of its resident djs so i am in good hands for this dj lesson. You have got your Volume Controls here. Highs, mids and lows so your bass knob, this is your bass knob. A little bit of sibilance, strip that out, bring that down. With the technology today, it gives you much more flexibility to take risks and do things you couldnt do in the old days with vinyl. So could you put Like A Classic Opera track with some hip hop . Yes. Beethoven wrote most of his music in 120 bpm so he was one of the first house djs. Beethoven knew what he was talking about, he dropped beats he did and a lot of his stuff was dance music speed. All right, lets do this then. 0k. One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Three, two, one, four. Four, three, two, four. Bingo. Im now time to see if all that training has worked. It is the moment of truth. I tell you what i will say, is its very loud in here. Im in a dj box with gavin mitchell, the resident dj and promoter for the gallery which takes place every friday night at the club. Fortunately, it is still early so the pressure is off a little bit and i am getting the hang of things. By the end of the night, i have got the house rocking. Ministry of sound almost closed following the development Of A Iii Storey Tower of flats just yards from the entrance. But thanks to the power of the Ministry Brand and its finances, the club has been saved to rave another day. I think all clubs have their nemesis moment when there comes something along that wants to close it. It is usually residents and it is the balance between a city and the fact that it needs some form of entertainment. You cannot have one without the other because a city full of bedrooms is just no fun. So you have to have nightclubs, you have to have restaurants, bars, entertainment. Last year, Fabric Nightclub one of londons biggest was forced to shut down. It was stripped of its licence and faced permanent closure after the drug related deaths of two teenagers. It has since reopened after the local Council Agreed to strict new licensing conditions, including an over 195 policy and id scanners at the entry to the venue. When fabric was temporarily closed, a lot of people saw that as a very worrying sign. It looked like the authorities werent really classifying dance music or Nightlife Culture as something of a priority. And when they changed their mind following the public response, not only did it show how important this culture is for people, but it also showed that the authorities are beginning to take that seriously. Fabrics survival has been seen as a boost to londons Clubbing Scene. And Wider Development isnt the only factor to why so many clubs are closing down. There are other things to contend with, like lifestyle changes, high entry prices, inflated costs of drinks inside nightclubs and early closing times. But one London Underground club is aiming to diversify its brand. The boiler room is turning to technology by creating the uks First Virtual reality nightclub. Kevin molloy is from a Company Called inception vr, they are one of only a few companies in the capital at the forefront of Virtual Reality content. He is bringing club nights to your living room or in my case, an office in north london. Going into one of these super clubs in ibiza is something that maybe you get to do on an occasional holiday but it is certainly not something anybody can just do at any moment. We identified it as one of the places where it would be great if you could go there even when you were not able. If we can take people and put them in the middle of amnesia in ibiza, in the middle of a dj set, and have them experience what that is like. So, sally from basingstoke can end up going to amnesia and having it large in herfront room. Absolutely. Yes, that is the plan. So i am going to put this on. The way it works, you put on a vr headset and depending on how good it is, your brain can be tricked into believing you are in a 3d world. 0h, theres loads of things floating in front of me. I am told it is all about the stereoscopic display which is ultimately 360 degrees views, which allows you to move left, right, up or down as if you were there. Iam in ibiza now, ithink. Oh, yes right now, im in a club on the beach in ibiza. Im loving this she is dancing with spaceships in the air. That last bit is too freaky it is too freaky. That is such a bizarre experience. You really feel like you are there and ibiza has changed. Since when has there been aliens in ibiza . The question is, can Virtual Reality clubbing be something that will ever overtake the real Clubbing Experience . Everything has got these potential positives and negatives. If you look injapan now, there are hundreds of thousands of kids living at home, never going out of the house because they can experience life from their, whatever, their computer. And that is the sort of First Step Towards matrix. It is both a good thing and a bad thing. Ade exploring the changing face of the london club scene. And here is our rundown of some other Great Clubbing Destinations around the world. Green valley is a brazilian clubbing landmark. A South American Mega Club in Santa Catarina has come a long way since its early days, which started life as a rave tent. Now, the club boasts impressive laser shows, c02 cannons and several whopping sound systems. Oh, and a massive man made lake. Ibiza has been long known as the destination of Clubbing Holiday Hotspots for partygoers. Amnesia is perhaps the most famous venue on the island. Founded back on the 70s on the island, on the site of an old farm, the historic venue hasnt lost any of its magic. And finally, on the other side of the world, and to seouls gangnam district, where 0ctagon has been gaining a reputation as the place to party in south korea. This nightclub is now pulling big name International Djs and fashionable millennials with its upfront housey vibe. Next up on The Travel Show we are trying a delicacy found in the finest of restaurants. Native oysters from the British Isles are some of the best in the world. We have tracked down where many of them come from galway bay on the west coast of ireland. This is the heart of the oyster bed. The wild oysters here, you see them here, the native flat oyster, they have come from the wild Oyster Fishery out here. Theres 800 acres of wild Oyster Fishery. The fishermen go out there in the winter months november and december and they fish them off the beds. We buy them and we put them in our own beds here where they develop their own unique flavour. They get that from the fresh water coming in from the fields around and we have the burn to the south and connemara to the north so we have wonderful flavours and textures in the oysters when they develop. So, these oysters, we are taking them up and they will be brought over to the packing sheds where they will be sorted and graded and packed into the baskets and then they will go off to london. Within 36 hours they will be on the Restaurant Table over there. So you really have very fresh, good quality from the west of ireland. Some people like to eat them, they love to put a drop of tabasco or a squeeze of lemon or a crack of black pepper or even horseradish and tomato sauce. But because they are so good here, the flavours are so good, we just eat them au naturel. Wejust squeeze the knife in here, we pop the shell and we slide back and cut the muscle to release the top shell. Then we have a beautiful native wild flat oyster from galway bay. Take a nice smell and savour the flavour and the taste and take a sip of thejuice. Slide it in. Delicious. I could stay here all day eating this. Still to come on The Travel Show i head to brunei to check out the Worlds Largest floating town. Plus, tommy tries on some of the latest travel must haves with his global gadgets. So, stick with us. Hi, tommy here with your global gadgets round up and today, we are in hertfordshire at the snow centre, just outside london. People often ask me, tommy, what have you done for me recently . What have you done for me . Well, i will tell you what i am about to do, i am about to potentially save your life with this. Enter the Mammoth Ultra Light with its removable airbag system in a backpack. Without the air canister, this pack is nearly race weight and it comes in under two kilograms when not topped up. That means, you may not have to sacrifice much speed for the additional avalanche safety. The Compressed Air System is the third model mammoth have made and they say it is a proven design that has been credited with saving lives in the field. This is obviously the kind of case that is meant for people that are going to be visiting extreme conditions. But heres the problem, the Canister Inside here that blows up the air to save you in an avalanche, cant be taken on planes because of regulations. And on top of that, it takes up so much space inside the bag, that it leaves very little room for Shovel Blades or a pickaxe. But if that is not a problem for you, then you will love the design, you can feel that is really robust and a potential life saver. So, as well as potentially being here to save your life, im also here to make sure you can be both hot and cool when you want to be. This odd and futuristic looking contraption is ultimately an electric scarf. Its makers claim, but directing warmth onto your neck, it helps moderate the temperature of your entire body. Yes, i know, it kind of looks like a spare part that has fallen off a stormtrooper. But what this is trying to do is actually really good. Warms you up when you are on the slopes and cools you down if you are in a hotter climate. But it is the way it does it that really doesnt work for me. Having it around your neck feels really restrictive and it is rather bulky. That is the last thing you would want when you are out and about and being active. Pretty little smart watches are everywhere but the makers of this one claim that it is the daddy of smart watches because it is chunky and robust and it could also save your life if you are stranded at sea or on the side of the mountain. This is ultimately a smart watch that looks like a high end runners watch. The makers say they wanted to create something a bit different for the surf and ski fans with its design, which comes in three different colours. The big sell here is the fact that this watch has gps tracking. It can also track all your ski sessions and will even update the Weather Forecast for you via the android where app. Now, there are lots of smart watches to choose from you know that and this one isnt sleek, it isnt slim and that is why it can receive a fair bit of criticism. But that is what i like about it. It is big, it is bold, it is a bit like me you know what i really like . People with warm souls. I have got a warm soul, in fact, i have got two of them. Because i have got the digit soles in my shoes right now which not only keep my feet warm, but they also track my steps and tell me how many calories i am burning. I am burning right now you like that . The digit sole uses bluetooth to connect to an app on ios or android. From there, you can adjust the temperature on each foot and see statistics on your walking. It is not the most elegant app in the world but you probably wont care much as you walk around just thinking about how toasty your toes are. It takes about three hours to charge these in full and from that, you will get six to nine hours worth of use, so perfect for a whole day on the slopes. The only thing is, it is just another thing to plug in so, before you go to bed, you have got to plug in your phone, you have got to plug in your tablet, your laptop, your camera, and now, your insoles, obviously. And finally, i am off to visit one of the Worlds Largest floating villages. Houses built on stilts can be found right across southeast asia, raised a few feet from the ground to protect them from flooding. But the village im about to see is on a scale that is hard to match. It is in brunei, a small country on the island of borneo. The capital, bandar seri begawan, has all the trappings of your average modern city. But if you venture a little further out of town, you will come across a way of life that is a lot more traditional. Along the brunei river lies kampong ayer. It is made up of 4,000 stilted buildings and over 18 miles of walkways. To get over to the floating village over there, you have to take these water taxis which only cost one bruneian dollar. But it is very choppy, this little body of water, it is a challenge and there is a lot of wind and whitecaps as you can see. Bruneians have been living on the river for over a thousand years. Kampong ayer itself goes back at least six centuries. As head villager, this man is an authority on the community. Do you see a new generation of bruneians coming to live here in kampong ayer to keep up the traditions . Kampong ayer is said to be home to 30,000 people, most of whom are fishermen and craftspeople. But if the community is to survive, it will have to attract new generation. To entice people, the government has built these stilted houses from concrete. And this, a new bridge which will dramatically cutjourney times into the capital. These houses kind of overlook the old village wall made of old timber and that metal grate on top. So i think i am more interested in heading over there and seeing what that has to offer. The older section of the village still features plenty of wooden buildings and walkways. It is not as pristine as the modern section but it has its own charm. I am going to learn about one of the crafts that has been practised here for centuries. This little boat builder has been going at it for a few generations, now. And im keen to see exactly what kind of techniques he uses and how he does it. Hello wow what a beautiful boat. You made this . So big. Is there anything i can do to help you finish the boat . 0k. How many generations have your family been in the industry . Just like that. It fits perfectly, doesnt it . After spending the day here and actually seeing a lot of change happening in the near future. I do hope they keep some of this old world charm, it is such an attraction for people who have never seen a floating village of this size. Thats it for this week butjoin us next week if you can when in the run up to st valentines day. If you touch the book with both hands, you are going to be married within six months.

But from me, Henry Golding and the rest of The Travel Show team here in brunei, it is goodbye. Cold tonight, frost first thing tomorrow morning, and if you are an early bird you might need your hat and gloves. It really will be chilly. Watch out for mist and fog. Freezing fog in some areas. A very wintry start to the morning tomorrow. The weather in the short term is picking quiet. Some rain is heading our way. That will not reach us until late in the morning. It is a dry start on monday. But watch out for those mist and fog patches. This Weather Front will bring the rain. You can see warm front here. That will introduce milder weather towards the far south west of the country. Also turning quite windy. This is about 8am, Rainjustabout Turning quite windy. This is about 8am, rainjust about nudging into cornwall. For most that dry start, some mist and fog patches. Across the south east the four could be quite dense around 9am. With a fog. You can see the frost of newcastle and over most of scotland. Wherever you are in the morning if ill be more or less the same. The risk of fog and certainly some frost around. The rain marches in and affects the west country, wales, northern ireland, and eventually south west scotland. It nudges into the north west of england too. Wet and windy here. Milder, as well, Milderaircoming Into and windy here. Milder, as well, milder air coming into plymouth, double figures down there. Eastern areas hazy through the day but itll be dry and cold. Monday night into tuesday, The Rain Marches through. Just about cold enough for some snow over the tops of the pennines and into the highlands of scotland. On tuesday the Weather Front stalls over eastern areas of the uk. Thats not great. Itll be cloudy, wet, wind, off the north sea. It is stalling because you have winds coming from both directions which clash at the front cannot move. It hangs around the eastern coast. In the west more sunshine. Maybe some showers across south western and north Western Areas. 0n showers across south western and north Western Areas. On wednesday the Weather Front fizzles away. Just cloud left over. Chilly feeling day, particularly across the east, only 4 degrees in norwich. That rain from the atlantic never really makes it, we dont think. In fact by the end of the week it looks like a cold easterly wind will wind, so itll feel pretty nippy. This is bbc world news today, broadcasting in the uk and around the world.
