With much of Japan witnessing only a 70% partial solar eclipse, many serious eclipse-chasers headed off to China to witness minutes of total darkness.

George was one such person, and in this mini-special, recorded the day after the eclipse, he tells us what it was like to witness a complete eclipse.

He also talks about busking in China, and some strange food that he’s been eating.

Joseph also talks a little about the climb up Mt. Fuji to view the eclipse over here.
