DESCRIPTION
A relaxing family holiday, with a fake heated swimming pool, terrifying castle stairs, a giant owl, raw beef and raw egg dish, indoor climbing, a former prison and roaring dinosaurs. What could possibly go wrong?
In episode 479 of the Mandarin Monkey Podcast, Tom and Ula chat naturally in Mandarin Chinese and English about their family trip to Shropshire. They share stories from Stokesay Castle, Shrewsbury Prison, a dinosaur park and an unforgettable bird-of-prey experience—while discussing parenting, fear of heights, theme parks and replacing the children’s screen time with Kindles.
