Oh the Humanity!: Friendship is International Adventure, Thursday, period 1

"Pony's out sick," Eliot grumbled when the students arrived for class that day. He didn't look much like he was feeling that great himself. His grumpiness factor had gone up by several degrees. "Which means you don't have to deal with her decidin' humans are amphibious. Congrats."

He led the class through the portal without further ado. They stepped out the other side in a lobby in Sydney, Australia. "Welcome to the home of world's largest IMAX theater screen." Was he starting to sound stuffy? "Today we're gonna enjoy a couple immersive 'film experiences' about the Earth's oceans."

Yup, that's right, he took you to the other side of the globe for a movie day.

Enjoy.

Around The World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday

After gathering up and stepping through the portal, the class would find itself on a large and exceptionally busy bridge, crowded with people, kiosks, vendors, and painters.

"Welcome," said Obi-Wan, "to Charles Bridge, one of Prague's most famous bridges. Your journey will begin here today."

"We're in the Czech Republic--" stop pronouncing the "z", Anakin, "--in Eastern Europe. This will be our last stop in the European continent this semester."

"Though not our last stop on the Eurasian continent," said Obi-Wan, who thought he was funny, yes. "You will begin today's course by engaging in the local practice of... well, painting people on bridges."

There wasn't a good local word for it that he could pronounce.

Too bad Threepio wasn't around to provide translation! "After that, you will pair up for an easy navigational exercise," Anakin said, "before heading out of the city for your final task."

"But we will let that be a surprise," Obi-Wan finished, smiling. (He should probably not be smiling.)

"You love our surprises," Anakin added, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
