Weren't as many as I thought there would be, but I did get to see maybe 20 meteors in 15 or 20 minutes. Pretty cool!!

went camping in the desert...was cloudy the whole drive, but then when it got dark, the sky directly above was open...saw between 50-100 between 1:30 - 2:30.
I saw a lot out of the corner of my eye, but they were faint...there were a few bright ones that streaked a good distance...

damnit nano, just cause ur partner likes to roll around in shit, doesnt mean u have to too!
i saw aa few. set my alarm clock to about half hour b4 it was supposed to peak, but slept right thru it. got up almost an hour after the peak & watched fer like 10 monutes from the balcony (not the greatest viewpoint, most directions obstructed. but damn, we musta had it much better than north america i guess, cause even with the strong ambient light from tokyo, i was seein them at an average of one every 5 seconds, and that was well after the peak & with a rather small patch of sky visible! was clear at least, but it usually is in tokyo. too bad i couldnt get up on the roof & lie down on a lawnchair. woulda been pretty cool! but was too damn tired anyhow.
