A total eclipse

We were at a dinner party last night, pool side at one of the venues in town. Not only did we have a fab night but we also got treated to a full lunar eclipse!
It was absolutely amazing!

Only us here in East Asia, people in Australia, and in some areas of Alaska could get the full visibility. Apparently people in the European countries only could see a partial eclipse. Also out here, the eclipse was totally clear as we have no air pollution.
It was quite a special event, as the cosmic lineup needed for a total lunar eclipse won't occur again until the 14th of April 2014.
Oaw.

Hello. I visited Brunei this year which gives me quite a lot of surprises. The Christmas preparations in many places are getting more and more exciting.
