Amazingly, three foreigners were there to record this unique moment in history.

Thanks for sharing that Taro, good find!
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
