It truly looks like a great way to spend your time while improving your camera skills. I don't want to kill the fun in it, but I want to mention that I find it somewhat strange to publish pictures of individual people without their explicit consent. It might be implicit consent if a woman starts posing for your pictures; and that's fine. I would still enjoy if they gave explicit consent, but maybe this implicit consent is enough. But if someone doesn't realize you've taken pictures of them, and then they get published, that feels very wrong.
Maybe that's just my way to view things out of a strict German perspective and it you are right, that people in other parts of the world are a lot more relaxed about it and it is fully fine.

Anyways: Your pictures turned out great!
