Laos - Land 寮国 - 地理

Hello friends. Welcome to Window on the World. Today we'll continue our trip around Southeast Asia and visit the Lao People's Democratic Republic. It is better known as Laos. This country is bordered on the north by China and Vietnam, on the east by Vietnam, on the south by Cambodia, on the west by Thailand, and on the northwest by Myanmar. Laos is Southeast Asia's only landlocked nation. A landlocked country is one that is completely surrounded by land. The total land area is 236,800 sq km. The capital and largest city of Laos is Vientiane.

Laos is very mountainous. The country can be divided into a northern section that has very thick forests and narrow valleys. The southern section has less trees in its mountain area. The Mekong River which is the main river of Laos, enters the country in the northwest from Thailand. It then flows south along the Laos-Thailand border, and enters Cambodia in the southwest. The Mekong River is the longest river in Southeast Asia. It is 4, 184 KM long. It is used for fishing, transportation, and to make electricity.

Laos is a country that has a tropical climate. It is usually warm and rainy. The wet summer season begins in May and lasts until October. During this time, Laos receives about 1778 mm of rain. A dry, cool season begins in November and lasts until February.

We must close our Window on the World for now. Do listen next week, friends, when we'll learn all about the people of Laos. Goodbye for no

Hello friends! Welcome to Window on the World. We are learning all about different countries in our region. Last week we found out all about the only island country that is a continent. Do you remember which continent it is? It is way down under!!! That's right ... Australia!

Let's find out about the people who live there. The Australian people are often called "Aussies." The population of Australia is 18, 088,000 people. The Aborigines are called the "first people." They lived on the island before other people came from Europe to settle in. Most of the people today live in the large coastal cities. The main language is English. You might hear phrases like..."no worries, mate" meaning "everything is fine, friend" or "G'day" that means "hello."

An average family in Australia has two to three children. All children aged five to fifteen must attend school. There are primary and secondary schools. Some children who live in remote areas, like the "Outback," receive their schoolwork by mail so they can work at home. There are many universities and colleges for students who wish to continue their education. Children and adults enjoy sports and outdoor activities. Favorite sports in Australia include rugby, cricket, basketball and soccer. Cycling, walking, tennis and golf are also enjoyed. For those who live near the coastal regions, water sports are fun, especially swimming, surfing, and fishing.

Many people also enjoy the arts and music. The famous "Sydney Opera House" has programs featuring opera, orchestras, ballet, and other dance styles.

Our Australian friends would enjoy having you visit. They love to entertain especially by having a barbeque! That sounds great to me!

Well, it's time to close our Window on the World for this week. Listen again next week to hear about the food of Australia. G'bye Mates!
