I wasn't sure if you'd been to Japan or not. One of the motivating factors behind this trip was having been briefly in Tokyo last December on my way to Austrilia for the new year, and just totally falling in love with the place. I knew I had to go back there, and for longer, and see more of Japan than Tokyo too. And now, of course, I love Japan even more so, and want to go back there for even longer. I can't win can I? :)
I'd a feeling those Japanese islands were a little small, and getting there isn't easy at normal times, and was guessing getting there for the eclipse would be nigh-on impossible. Alternatively, Shanghai would be trivial to get to, but smoggy? I want to see an eclipse - why are they so hard to find? :( Patagonia is actually high up on my places-I-must-visit already, eclipse or not, so that would make thigns interesting. Although doesn't the 2010 eclipse hit Easter Island, which also sounds tempting? Hey, I could waffle all day about eclipses too, but I've never actually got around to travelling out to see one properly!
