UAE has a lot of nationalities, and has more than 200 cultures. Almost we are sharing our cultures between each other.

For 1^st time I worked in a group of my class in this project. It was very difficult because some of us don’t know about how to make short videos, editing, and schedule time. I learn from this project a lot; like how to decide our jobs, and dividing works between each other, and I knew a little bit of how to edit videos on mac computers. Some of us were really serious in the project, and some was funny.
