Around The World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday

[saddeserthermit]

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.

Road Block: Chop or Frock

[saddeserthermit]

You're taken from the square to the woods just outside of Prague. Here, you can choose one of two challenges: grab an axe and chop a hundred pieces of firewood, or attempt to follow the instructions to a traditional Czech folk dance.

Yes, you'll be required to wear the traditional garb, too.

Isabela blinked for a moment upon being presented the choices. "...oh, frock."

It took a while to get teh dance right, since she kept trying to lead.

Laura had no time for your silly dances! And she could use the workout anyway.

At some point she might have discarded the axe and used her own, erm, implements.

Eggsy thought wood chopping would have been the easier option. Eggsy regretted his choice immensely about halfway through when his arms felt numb.

Blue had chopped firewood for money before, as one of her dozen odd jobs around Henrietta, and was surprisingly strong for someone her size. She liked her chances with that better than her chances with the folk dance, and it meant she got to keep her own outfit on. So chopping it was!

Chopping, definitely chopping. No matter how long it took.
