It was the King's birthday on Tuesday (5th Dec)... when you live in a tourist zone public holidays aren't much different to normal days - because most of the shops were open. However, out of respect for the King, most of the bars were closed!Yellow is a very special colour this year. The King was born on a Monday, and yellow is the colour for Monday - so most Mondays you'll see people wearing the yellow shirt out of respect for the King... but even more so on his birthday, I was in Tesco and just about everyone had their yellow shirt on. It's quite nice to think that the whole country does this... I just can't imagine Aussies or Brits doing the same for Lizzie! :-)
This photo is of a big mounted picture of the King... on the roadside near where we live.
