Around the World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday, April 7, 2016
"Welcome to Beijing," Anakin said, speaking loudly to be heard over the traffic as the class stood in Tiananmen Square. "This is China, the most populous country on this planet."
"This country has a long and storied history, as one of the great cultural centers of this planet," Obi-Wan continued. "There are relics of this past to be found everywhere - but its future appears equally bright and visible, in its way."
"In its way?" Anakin echoed, tilting his head at Obi-Wan.
"The local manufacturing culture has been rather brutal," Obi-Wan said lightly, "It remains to be seen if the future is as bright for certain classes as it is for the richer locals. Though I suppose that is true everywhere."
"Ahh," Anakin said, expression clearing slightly. "Today we're going to have you running around and learning about the culture of this country," via slightly embarrassing activities, as usual--"and we look forward to seeing you all at the end. Do not get into trouble here. You don't want to experience their criminal justice system. At all."
"But I am sure we can rely on you to be good," Obi-Wan said wryly. "Please. Go on. May the Force be with you."
