According to my sister, I don't tell her things anymore (not true, it is just that I am too tired to do anything most of the time.)
So I guess I should get back to blogging on a regular basis (not that it has ever been regular). August is always an exciting month not just because it is Summer, but also because ... it's the month where you can see the Perseid Meteor Showers.
One of the best things about living in the countryside and the fact that I'm now in the Northern Hemisphere where I can actually witness astrological phenomenons (like the Eclipse sometime this year or last year, need to check). Meteor showers are aplenty like the Gemini Constellation Meteors in Winter and the Perseid Meteors where you can see with your naked eyes.
I saw about 13 meteors in an hour in an environment where it is dark enough but with some lights in the background so it's actually not too bad.
There were a few good ones and one REALLY beautiful one. It was bright, huge and it streaked halfway across the sky so you couldn't miss it. It was really amazing to witness it. I was with the international students (Dani, Yi, Sankalp, Carlos and Alona) We were in the stables with the horse and it was funny.
Everytime Carlos turns around, a meteor falls and everyone would see it except him XD !
I had the good fortune to see the most that night and everyone just crowded around me so they could get the best view XD ! It was great to be able to watch the meteor showers with a bunch of lovely people in a lovely environment where I am not freezing my ass off.
Can't say the same for the Gemini meteors as it is in Winter ! But if possible, I really would want to watch the Gemini meteors too !
