The Aquarium

So today, we went to the "Shanghai Ocean Aquarium", and I will get pics online probably tomorrow when I have a bit more energy. They aparently had the "world's longest underwater viewing tunnel" at 155 meters long. Jet lag is finally kicking in, after 4 days in China.

Okay, so it wasn't tomorrow, it was a bit later, but anyways, in the viewing tunnel, there was this moving floorway, it looked like this:
----------___
glass=>/----\<>< <=fish
w/fish-/_____\><>
behind./\
....moving floor (pardon the dashes/dots, I need them to get the picture right)
Also, there were these big crocodiles (or alligators I can't remember), and one was staring me down through the glass. Creepy! Also, there were these HUGE fish, they had to be at least 6 feet long and 250-300 lbs. We saw spider crabs, and it (an info board) said that they can grow to 400 cm large. That's about 12 feet big!!! Luckily, the ones they had were about 2 feet big.
IThat's all the interesting stuff, I will post about the pearl tower next.

  13. Jet lag kicks in after 4 days, that's unusual. But then, we have an unusual #1 grandson!;-)!

    What's your jet-lag like?
