Description
|
"It’s time to break out of the “humdrum” regularity of your everyday life.
It’s time to explore a diverse world, varied cultures and interesting civilizations.
This Quest will help you “virtually” visit another world culture. You will be expected to understand the population distributions of a country, as well as the cool places to visit in that country."
Question: "What type of vacation is it going to be? It is your group’s decision to create a theme for this trip."
