When a New Year's fireworks display is cancelled, the Team decides to visit CHINA, where fireworks were invented. Doki figures they must be celebrating too, and he wonders - what do the Chinese do, for New Year's? In BEIJING, they join their friend Dandan, who shows them Chinese New Year customs, while Oto makes traditional 'long life' noodles. They're surprised to learn that they're early for the real celebrations - which happen on the lunar calendar! But Dandan arranges for fireworks anyway.

On the way home from a New Year's eve celebration in the far East, the gang is invited to another countdown in LONDON, ENGLAND. But wait - how can it be New Year's Eve, again? They land, and are dismayed to discover that the famous 'Big Ben' appears to have stopped. Surely, it's past midnight! So while Oto tries to 'fix' it, the others head to the Greenwich observatory, for the correct time. There, they learn that thanks to time zones, it really can be different times in different places
