Squiz the World goes to ... Netherlands

Each week, 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.

With all the flooding happening in Australia, we thought we'd travel to Europe this week to learn about "The Lowlands" - which is what "The Netherlands" means - and find out how they deal with having more than 1/3 of their country below sea level. The Dutch are serious experts when it comes to dealing with unwanted water. They're also some of the world's tallest people, have a thing for licorice, and, yes... we'll talk about tulips.
