Owen took Isabelle and Oliver to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium which includes a very long tunnel that takes you through a coastal reef, open ocean, a kelp cave, shark cove, and a coral reef. They all saw sharks, jellyfish, seahorses, penguins, stingrays, tropical fish, chinese fish, huge turtles and amazing coral.
The kids enjoyed everything except being stared at and photographed. I don’t know what the fascination is for Western children, but the Chinese love to take photos of them. Oliver is not so bothered by it, but Isabelle really does not like it. At one point there was a lady taking video and as Owen moved around, turning the kids, the lady did a 360 around too!! How do you explain video of complete strangers?!!!?
