Solar Eclipse

We got a chance to see it today! According to the reports, at around 11am this morning it will happen. When I woke up this morning it was sunny, partly cloudy. Now it is hazy...As long as it doesn't rain, or become really really cloudy, we should be aboe to see it in Osaka. I heard from two different people two totally different theories about how often an eclipse happens. One person said: "It happens once every 45 years." The other person said: "The next eclipse will happen in 125 years." Which one is true? do you know?

Also, did you get those special sunglasses to look at the eclipse?

Anyway, I wish I could go to Kita Iwojima(I think it is in Okinawa), the best place on earth to see the eclipse, but I will have to settle for Osaka.

One of my favorite things about Japane are Japanese Ryokans, hot springs.
