Somebody save meeeeee, come oooooon, had to do it.
I'll most certainly be staring at the sky tomorrow, this kind of meteorological phenomenon is much more enjoyable than any form of contemporary entertainment.

Thanks for the heads up. The universe is stirring, better put some plans into motion.

It was stormy here, so I didn't see anything. I was goofing about the whole plans into motion thing, but I ended up laying some plans down last night anyway. Wish me luck.

actually if you are in Asia right now, you should have a good view of the peak around 21:45 UT . Bracket that by a couple hours and you got your viewing time.
Find the constellation LEO. All the Leonid meteorite will seem to emanate from there.
I woke up at 4 am. Drove out to somewhere dark and looked up. I got too cold and my neck hurt after just a few minutes. So I went to my back yard and set up my mats, and sleeping bags and got parallel to the ground. After 15 minutes I saw the first one. It was bright aqua green! I saw 5 in total. At intervals of 5-10 minutes. All were amazing. There was one that had a long white tail. As it streaked across the sky it broke apart in fiery blaze. If I hadn't read the articles on it I would have given up earlier. Considering it wasn't peak I had to be patient.
Well worth the effort. It was my first time trying this.
