Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
For explorers and sun-worshippers, there will be another partial solar eclipse visible in the Philippines on January 15, 2010.
For Metro Manila, any place with a good view of the sun is the best vantage point to witness the solar event. According to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Metro Manila people will witness about 39.1 percent of the sun’s diameter blacked out by the moon. The partial solar eclipse will start at 3:49 pm with the maximum eclipse at 4:53 pm and ending at 5:51 pm.
The best vantage poitn/viewing area for the annular solar eclipse (no total eclipse this time) would be in the middle of the Indian Ocean but also visible across central Africa, and eastern Asia.
Hope this phenomenon will be more visible, unlike the partial solar eclipse last year obscured by clouds of the rainy season.
Tutubi expects to also gain another power, similar to Hiro Nakamura, to be the master of space and time, for him to explore places and to actually watch past events for an accurate report of historical past.
Lastly, do not look directly at the sun during the eclipse to avoid eye damage. Use a suitable filter or better look at it's reflection on surface of water.
