Ljubljana, Slovenia: Wednesday afternoon - Spring. Takayama, Japan: Wednesday afternoon - Spring.

"The Dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana. In Ljubljana's coat of arms it's perched on top of Ljubljana's castle. It comes from the story of Jason and the Argonauts. On his way home from stealing the Golden Fleece from the Colchian king, near Ljubljana Jason encountered a "terrible marsh monster" which he fought and killed. This terrible marsh monster is the Ljubljana dragon. The dragon here appears on the dragon bridge. The bridge is nicknamed the mother-in-law bridge."
