Testing out the idea of Viglo Challenges

In my childhood it was always an event to see what lame gifts we were about to receive for Christmas from Grammy Duncanson. As we got older, the gifts we received were still designed for children. However, the very last thing my grandmother gave me when I was 13 was an L.L. Bean backpack, which I still use daily 23 years later. It's been my one companion who has always accompanied me on all my travels, whether I was using it to carry food from the dumpster back to my car I was living in, or using it as a pillow on my hitchhiking adventures. The backpack is currently on it's 5th zipper and looks like Frankenstein with all the stitchwork I've put into it, but it's getting to the point that I now need professional expertise to keep the bag alive. And I will need to find that professional here in Buenos Aires, using my Spanish.
I mentioned before that I want Viglo to make our users get out and USE their Spanish in real life situations. I don't know exactly how that will play out, so my need for an emergency procedure to save my backpack will let me do a test run. I'm going to do Viglo calls with Roxy that are specifically targeted for a conversation with someone who can fix my backpack. Then next week, I will put myself out into Buenos Aires to find my backpack doctor who can save this most worthy of patients. It's up to Viglo to get my Spanish ready for this real life test.
