Shanghai Aquarium and FIFA Game

09.19.2007 0 °F

Today was a fun day out. Erik and I finally went to the Shanghai Aquarium which Erik has been looking forward to seeing since we got here. It was fun. They had a Deadly Aquatic Animals exhibit which showed some of the most dangerous sea animals. Some of the fishes were huge! We loved seeing the sharks and of course, the penguins!

This is a picture of a man feeding the fish. He seemed totally unconcerned about the sharks swimming around him!

Here's a video of Erik very bravely petting a shark.

After the Aquarium, we went to our first FIFA game. It's women's soccer and it's pretty popular. The USA played Nigeria, so there were many Americans watching the game. It was a fun experience.

I hope you guys are safe from Typhoon Wipha. You don't seem worried if you are going to football instead of evacuation. As long as Erik wasn't leaning out the window of your apartment to pet sharks. Whoo, Go get board. Swells all da way to da Huangpu River brah!!

Hey, do sharks wash up during typhoons? Maybe Erik could get one as a pet. You could train it to eat mice and it won't keep you up all night barking!
