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