Today, parts of Asia witnessed a total solar eclipse, or 皆既日食 (kaiki nisshoku). In Fukuoka we were not able to experience total darkness, but at approximately five minutes to 11am, the sun was down to a sliver. The viewing glasses were sold out at most places, but many students got a chance to see it outside the school (either by heading to the elementary school nearby where viewing apparatuses were set up, or by borrowing a film from a kind gentlemen who was standing outside the school).
