A japanese cannon.

Kandy, 21-10-1994. Leaving early to escape the worst heat of the day i got to Kandy just after noon and checked in once again at the Old Empire Hotel for a mere 150 Rp. Though poluted the lake of Kandy might be, it is full with carps and all sorts of other fish. Just above the lake and near the Indian High Commission is a park that contains a cannon taken from the japanese during W.W. Two and a gift from Mount Batten during his stay here in 44/45. Nowadays the park is used by young local couples who like some privacy away from the watchfull eyes of the family.
