Sunday 18 April 2021

We haven't touched this project for over 6 months as Janet has started University.
Today we are recreating the first 20.

Janet has added another 20-30 location walking down the street toward the MTR. We'll add them in next week. However she realised the in-the-house locations are more fun to remember. The crowded feeling has them interacting. We might find another house to map and put down a portal on the walk.
