Royal encounter

I forgot to say that I saw the Japanese prince on Saturday. As I was trying to cross the road all this blue rope was put up by the cops and we had to wait about 5 minutes for his procession to pass. About 15 cars full of security personnel I assume went past and then he flashed by with his window down waving. I didn't know what was coming so I didn't have time to get my real camera out and hence have only this rather dodgy mobile shot in which you can't really see him at all. His car was very shiny. The Japs were all heaps excited and afterwards I heard one bloke say to his wife, "Wow, his face is heaps tiny" - which is also something I get told a lot over here!
