The rest of Japan and South Korea will see a partial eclipse, with the moon obscuring 80 percent of the sun in southern Japan and Okinawa, and 60 percent elsewhere in the country and South Korea.

Thanks for the tip. I don't think I've ever seen a solar eclipse, even a 60% one.

Something off the topic: you never know how Korean you are.

Today after lunch, when I walked out of my office to the toilet at the ned of the corridor with a toothbrush in my mouth, I just realized how KOREAN I have been.......

Oh yeah, I booked a baseball game ticket today as well, with my office friends......we also pooled money for soju and chicken... Laughing Laughing

It has now reached Seoul. Around 11.00am should be max. I am at the Research insititute so we made some great filters at my work. So I saw the eclipse very well. Without it, try use a CD or even better an old computer 1.44 MB disc (you can still use it to something...). However my battery of the camera just went dead so I didnt managed to get a good picture.

I remember a solar eclipse from when I was 8.
It went all dark, but I didnt take any notice cause I just assumed it had clouded over Sad
