4. Problems We Had To Overcome

(1) FROM NONE TO EVERYTHING About the local name story, the range of area, history and culture, ancient monument, the understanding of sightseeing resources, all these we must work it from nothing by net and library we found some materials, it's helpful to the realization of the history and cultural of Patauw, yet that seemed not enough by merely web for further step, that's the first jam we met. (2) The materials were so complicated, those useful one is no easy to get and always missing: The concept of people is not always realistic and owning to the long enduring history of Patauw, the relative materials were so much and complicated, while they don't seem correct and work, e.g.: when we make the research about stone monument of Patauw, there is a livestock sprit monument, and according to the materials, it was located in the opposite side of market, we think it's easy to find originally, but when it comes to real visit, it's a parking lot filled with cars, and it's viehcles and peoples shopping around, there's simply no way to find a tiny stone, then it occurred to me that an ancient job-the motorcycle pick up, they must be well recognize about that history, I think, it happened to be some of them, may be they were to young to know that, even if in the right slaughter house, no one knows it. So it's the stupidest way we choose-searching around the Hwang-Gang road, still nothing found. This time we were really trapped, then Chin Yang got an idea to quote the grandpa and grandma in the park, hoping some of them might have more intelligence, Wow! Bingo! this time we found it and learned some treasure under their entheusiastic guide, we are so greatful and really thanked them. (3) Insufficient of time The direct teacher thinked that though it's important to attend the competition, the curriculumn can't be postponed, and it's really very hard to make a dicision, so we collect the materials only after class and in leisure times, after ther communication with the parents and achieving their support, we make use of the rest of time as possible to collect, arrange the photogh, web page etc.; after daily home work review, during noon break, we bring the file to computer classroom for unification and held meeting, the out visit of student will be on the holiday, make use of the winter vacation thoroughly to visit the goverment department, less it might affect the curriculumn.
