Did you know?
Argentina has the highest number of psychiatrists per capita in the world — psychotherapy is so culturally ingrained that Buenos Aires is sometimes called 'the couch capital'.
Australia is the only continent that is also a single country. It is wider than the moon and home to 21 of the world's 25 most venomous snakes.
Brazil is home to the Amazon, which produces 20% of the world's oxygen and holds 10% of all species on Earth.
Canada has the longest coastline in the world at 202,080 km — so long it would take over four years to walk it at a steady pace.
China spans five time zones but uses a single national time (UTC+8), meaning sunsets in the west can occur as late as 10 PM local time.
Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 3,800 years — from 2560 BC until Lincoln Cathedral was completed in 1311 AD.
