Saturday morning at the Royal Plaza: Tanks, families, human interest, and Scientologists - September 23, 2006

Military vehicles on the street are gone now. Soldiers are now wearing berets instead of helmets. Eight tanks are lined up at the Royal Plaza to give locals and toursits a chance to get their photos taken. There is a carnival atmosphere with entire families arriving in yellow shirts (yellow is the color of The King) to greet the soldiers and take photos. Foreign photographers are swarming the area as well taking photos of this fascinating tableau. About a dozen Scientiologists in red shirts are distributing Scientology brochures to the crowd (below).
