Journey:

Personal highlights

  1. Art gallery: it's Monday and all museums is closed, no exception
  2. Assema: then the guard shows me the craftsmen behind the museum
  3. Craftsmen: funny guys, not speaking English, but try to interact anyway
  4. Artworks: beautifully and fragile figures carved out of wood and painted
  5. Architecture: as the rest of the city, all walls are crumbling and falling apart
