Busan Aquarium

The Busan Aquarium is right on Haeundae Beach in Busan, and was the first thing we visited when we got there. We went for the full package: aquarium, glass-bottom boat ride, and 3-D simulator ride. The simulator made me pretty sore in the back for about a week, but the rest of the stuff was cool.

Here are some pics of the glass-bottom boat, which floats over the largest shark tank in Korea:

They let us feed the fish while on the boat:

This is the little arch that leads to the Seal Encounter:

And here's a seal:

Very Poisonous:

This is a totally suite leaf fish. There are a couple other fish in the tank, so I didn't even notice it at first:

The aquarium has this running theme of turning famous paintings into fish paintings. Here is the Shark Last Supper:

Me with the Birth of Shark Venus:

The Jellyfish Scream:

The only show we caught was a magic show in the big tank, where the magician incorporated the diver into his show:

The coral tanks always remind me of Lisa Frank folders from school:

Me and a big crab:

Feeding the eels:

Ah, the playful otter:
