*The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Rules:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching.
We finally did this-I went with Ali and my mom, and it was pretty cool. They basically just have speakers everywhere, and the sounds consist of historical stories about the area. Then they light up the water falls, and the colors change a lot.
