total eclipse of the heart

I left south east asia today for Beijing. It was a bittersweet ending, the mark of another chapter in my life, closed. I have another month in China, where I'll be doing a lot of miscellaneous work for Hias Gourmet in Beijing and Shanghai, and then it's off to real life back at home.

There were storm clouds all over China this morning, it was impossible to see the longest solar eclipse of the century from the ground. Lucky for me, I was soaring 50,000 meters above the ground at around 10 am when the skies became pitch black for 5 long minutes.
