The Great Wall

hi guys, sorry i couldn't come to class cause i got really sick..from food poisioning..never should eat that sushi...anyways, here is my penny-great wall, hope y'all like it.

i really like this project because it taught me how hard for my ancestors to bulid the great bricks by bricks, it really gave me a headache to stack all the pennies because the glue cold-out really fast (approximately 5-10mins), so i have to calculate how much glue i should mix in and how many pennies i want to stack.
i'm from China, where the Great Wall is, but i never been to it, now i'm in US, the chances to see the real Great Wall is really small, so this project represent how expensive for me to travel from here to China, to see the Great Wall.
Also this represent how much money, and energies of people to bulit such big architecture. i think if i use chinese coins will be more suitable for its meaning, but i can't really get any here since we don't use it..so just go with pennies^_^
