Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.
Buckle up with your captain, Amanda Bower, on the Squiz Kids Super Fast Supersonic Jetliner as we zoom into China - land of 1.4 billion people, a Communist government, and where "heaps of homework" is an understatement. We'll sneak a peek at the Great Wall, not visible from space unless you've got superhuman vision, and dive into the delicious world of Peking duck. Get ready to say "Ni Hao" and impress with your Mandarin because we're on a whirlwind tour filled with laughs, quirky facts, and maybe learning a thing or two. It's China like you've never heard it before!
