知识之旅@八景島Sea Paradise

讲了很久,终于在2008年的秋天,来到了横滨的八景岛。颠簸了快一个小时。。。终于到了!

入门票长得还蛮像到孕妇到医院生小孩时戴的。。。
not so appealing mascot which is why i was the photographer!
屹立不到15年。。。应该是not bad 吧?

The super windy show area was packed with people, check out the cute kids in happy colored caps.. some school excursion i think.

Ok, the usual wow impressive stuff with smart white and black dolphins flying around doing stuff.. entertaining but maybe i am getting a bit old for this... hee... wanted to go dive in with the dolphin but that will mean forking out like S$100. Forget it.

Now, it was the aquarium and all the exotic marine life they have inside that caught my attention. I am reminded of my Kindy class and teaching them about 'Under the sea'. The good old days of Daneth asking me endless questions and Tania drawing lovely angler fishes.

These pretty fluorescent petal-like creatures are jelly-fishes! A sight to behold but not good when you get stung by one! According to my friends, you better go pee on the part where you got stung ASAP. (The alkaline in your pee can neutralize the bad acid, something like that.. if you think that is gross, maybe you can use soap??)
Up close and personal. I was so fascinated that my friends, were sitting at the exit with bored faces while i was oohing and wowing over the real stuff that i had only read about in National Library books when i was teaching at the kindergarten!

The huge aquarium with the travellator tunnel thingy.


Highlight of the day was .... boring predicatable Viking cos rollercoaster and Freefall tower were closed due to strong winds.
Way cooler than Underwater World at Sentosa! Very educational!

A stressed guy and 3 excited girls. That's Little Miss Daredevil Keke, taking the photo while we were at the highest point of the ride. ;D Well done!
Ok, next we headed on to something safer.
