Japan Eclipse 2012

This may be a little old story to write about, but I just saw some photos of eclipse which was visible in Japan on May 21, and found that it interesting to actually see all the variety of sunglasses they were sold at stores. Yes, the photo of eclipse is the most amazing thing, but so are the sunglasses/googles.

Eclipse sunglasses and googles were at the shops everywhere and millions of people rushed into the stores to grab one for themselves. By the 21st, lots of shops sold out them and come people still tried to look at the eclipses with naked eyes (which was not recommended and people rushed into eye clinics afterwards).

I heard the story from my mum and friends, but I didn’t know there’re so many kinds of sunglasses and googles out there. From character things to funny looking ones…. I just have to agree because it’s Japan!
