Are you sure? Unless I have misunderstood your reply, here's how it will approximately look like here in Finland: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/fi...o=20150320

Though, I haven't any (reasonable) experience in eclipses, be it lunar or solar, because the last time I had watching them was when I was about 7 years old.

You surely can see the covered sun with those glasses. But everything else just appears normal. You wont notice 90%, everything just looks normal, you cannot see any difference in brightness. Some animals feel the difference, dogs may yowl and bark.
I once had the pleasure of a total eclipse in southern Germany (1999?).
