China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Solar Eclipse]

At Huangshan.

This is a screen shot from my video of the solar eclipse! I just happen to be in the right place and time in China where a total solar eclipse would occur (Huangshan, July 22, 2009 around 9:32am). Still, I was very lucky to see the eclipse. The weather was very cloudy that morning and I had just about given up seeing the eclipse. Then the clouds cleared just in time to expose the total solar eclipse! Just as totality was ending, the clouds converged again and I couldn't see the sun anymore.

The situation was weird but oddly satisfying.

The video is coming soon and it's killer. I need to edit it. I finally got around to editing the solar eclipse video! Check it out!
