Crossing Lightsabers in the Imperial City


Yesterday I traveled to the Imperial city, Coruscant, to seek a council with Emperor Palpatine. The stormtroopers were out in force, in thier green armor. We walked around Tianmen Square taking pictures of things and enjoyed it's massivley open vistas. I examined a memorial to the heroes of the revolution and was swarmed by merchants all selling Mao watches, kites, and post cards. I don't think I'll ever need to say "Wo bu yao" so often again in my life.

We then walked over to the Forbiden City and entered through the gate of 9 brass studs. Explored the various rooms, battled with light sabers and left. There's a garden, and throne room and so forth.
