What is Mouk About?
The TV show Mouk follows the exciting adventures of two friends, Mouk and Chavapa. They travel all around the world on their bikes, exploring new places and meeting different people.
At the start of each episode, Mouk and Chavapa chat with their friends Popo and Mita back home using a webcam. Popo and Mita are always excited to share something interesting that happened to them. But before they can, Mouk usually jumps in with a story about his latest travels. This means Popo and Mita often don't get to tell their own tales!
