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.

Isabela looked expectantly at Anakin, since if he was setting the assignments, presumably he knew which way to go. "Well?"

"Well what?" Anakin asked. "It's your class."

"If it was my class we'd be somewhere people wear less clothes." Isabela maaaay have deliberately misinterpreted him.

"I'm shocked to hear that," Anakin said dryly.
