  I like these. The place looks immaculate, so clean! Maybe the outdoor pictures could use a bit of brightening, especially the shadows? Judging by the clouds it was fairly dull out? Nice composition in all of them and just like a proper tourist, you’ve got your background stories, years and all. Very well done :)
