Reflection
From this project, I've really understood more the culture of Siam and the Western as Anna Leonowens is from Western and The King Mongkut is from Siam. This project also made me use my creative thinking skills. Creating the hoop skirt wasn't easy and all, there are a lot of steps going through. I also learned to improve my time management as there are a lot of thing to be done.
