I stayed there last year. I can remember the smell. The doctors and nurses were kind, but I wasn’t happy at that time. I couldn’t play volleyball or football. I wanted to go home.

This is the tallest building in the city. I like going there to do photography. There’s a café at the top and you can go outdoors. On a sunny day you can see the whole city, but don’t look down!

I love this place. It’s so old. You can climb to the top of a tower. Sometimes people dress up as characters from history here. It’s great for history projects.
