    My wife and I went to this. It is worth a visit if you like history.

    It was a bit crowded if you wanted to get near the front to watch the ceremony, and it was humid but worth it.

    I've got some video of it I might try to get up on day…

    I saw a former adult student there taking pictures, and he said his dad was a performer. When I asked which one, he said the guy in the yellow hat, which could have only been the guy playing the king — so I guessed he was a member of the royal line — (His name was Dr. Lee…)

    Great, more preservations of a failed past.
