Sentosa Island


Yesterday, we went to Sentosa Island by cable car. We could see the container terminal that we can see from the place where we stay (left). Here is the merlion statue that you see as you reach the island.

The first thing we did was go to an aquarium called Underwater World, an small aquarium that where there is a moving walkway where you underneath and through several tanks where you can see many fish, sharks, and rays. They even have a white dugong.

In smaller tanks they had many kinds of crabs and some jelly fish. The also had weedy sea dragons, which are like sea horses, but larger. They look like aliens.

A lagoon called Dolphin Lagoon at another part of the island has a show with pink dolphins. These are born gray and turn pink as they grow older -- the one about to "kick" a soccer ball is younger than the one jumping through a hoop.
We also went swimming in the ocean and watched the big ships.
It was an eventful day!
