Full Eclipes tommorow....in the most superstitious countries of India and Nepal!...Demon swallows sun!

Thanks! It will definitely be the highlight this trip....hard to think of anything that could beat that!
wha happened?

My mother told me a story of when she was expecting me. Her neighbors who are Japanese warned her to stay indoors during the eclipes or I might die. It freaked my dad and Mom stayed indoors and watched everything from a window

Pregnant women must put a safety pin on their garments in order to avoid having the eclipse cause cleft lip.
Amazing.

I just put up on Youtube my video of the event:

China blocks Youtube access so I had to wait till I got to Japan to upload the video.
I'm in Hakone right now, and today I'm off to Tokyo.
