Went for a walk around the Imperial Palace this morning. Didn't see anything strange.

This was as near as we managed to get to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't get into the surrounding park but understand the reasons. For those interested pre booked accompanied tours are available on certain days.

This is one of the 4 corners guard tower at the Imperial palace in Beijing. Newly renovated and lighted up in the evening sky in celebration of the Spring festival welcoming the year of the dragon. Anything that has a dragon, whether its a carving, sculpture or a design symbol on the ceiling, wall and door panels are being "harassed" by the visitors with their digital camera or handphone in the palace ground.

I added in some antique calligraphy and chop stamps from a Japanese scroll I have. I photographed the scroll, selected the text and then copied it in. The scroll is quite ancient, so the text is quite hard to decipher. If anyone can read it, I would definitely appreciate a translation.
