The World’s daily geography puzzler. Today we ask listeners to name the site in Beijing where a winter festival is due to open tomorrow. The answer is INSIDE the Bird’s Nest Stadium built for the 2008 Olympic Games. The stadium’s field and running track are now covered in 3 feet of artificial snow.
