What i enjoyed the most is taking the photos of every building, looking at it and thinking of how it feels like when you are there.The challenges that i faced are that i have to stand under the hot sun while taking those photos. Some of the buildings are to long for me to take a whole of it. Even when i stood across the road , I still could not take the whole building. There is also another challenge i faced and it it that the internet did not provide much information of when the building was build and other important informations.Some of them i had to ask my parents to see how long it was built as they have been staying there longer than i had.If i were given a chance to do it again, i would add in more informations and also interview the people on what they think.
