Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Friday 1:00-3:00 pm

Rushing, without looking like he's rushing, Seimei rolls out this discussion question this week and apologizes for being late. "The Mikado had a minor issue to deal with involving the most auspicious place to plant his juniper trees."

Discussion question –

Discuss the rise of camels use for Saharan transport and what economic impacts did it have on the bridging of the sub Saharan and North African regions.

Sakura, mildly amused by the teacher's slight tardyness, pulls out a notebook. "It appears that your camel is spitting in my coffee, sensei." she said, then tilted her head.

"Um, well, there were both advantages and disadvantages to the rise of camels in the Sahara, for instance, 'Your camel is spitting in my coffee, sir' became a completely normal statment at rest stops."

Piper wanders into class and begins taking notes.

Belthazor glances over in Piper's direction.

Piper notices Belthazor glancing at her.

What the hell? Is he stalking me? she thought to herself.

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor quickly looks away. She's going to think I'm stalking her....
