Acknowledgement
My gratitude goes to my teachers – coordinator, lecturer, tutor, my focus group participants, my interviewee, my friends, my significant other, and of course, to my parents. This project could never have been completed without all of your suppport.
I want to go back and explore the locations
I want to go back to the beginning
