In this video I have earned a lot of things about the cultural in this country that I didn’t know about by helping my group. My friends and I have shared the ideas and helped each other to finish this video. However, we suffered to collect the ideas and research about something that was old and unique in our country and still exist until now. Then everyone did his job by talking about something old and value. We had some trouble to find tourist people to make an interview with them, but then we found some people to talk with them and they were helpful. The weather wasn’t so cool and hot and that the reason to slow our work and it took about two hours to finish our project.  In the end we had a lot of fun and we are proud to make a film about our country.
