Random Things: something fishy!

It was hot and sunny here in Atlanta so I decided to spend the day at the Georgia Aquarium – and so did everybody else in the city. Hahaha. It was packed with both visitors and Atlantans.

A few trivia about the Georgia Aquarium:

Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest aquarium with more than 8.5 million US gallons (31,000 m³) of marine and fresh water housing more than 120,000 animals of 500 different species.
The aquarium's notable specimens include four young whale sharks, four beluga whales, and four manta rays.
There are more than 61 miles of pipes and wires in the Georgia Aquarium. That’s just about the same as the entire length of I-285. Wow!

I wasn’t really planning on going to the Aquarium since I thought it would just be like the other aquariums I’ve been to. But my officemate Corey told me that I should go because it’s pretty cool – and I can say, it’s really cool! In my opinion, it’s the next best thing to SeaWorld in Orlando. Oh wait, SeaWorld is considered a theme park so that makes Georgia Aquarium the best aquarium I’ve been to! Ha-ha. I also went to the Dolphin Tales Show and it was really good – a spectacular show of music, light and dolphins. I was just really amazed of how Dolphins are very smart creatures – the timing is perfect; the dolphins show up on the exact spot the light is on. Normally, dolphin shows are held on a well-lit pool, but this one is held in a very dark auditorium and the dolphins have to be on the exact spot at a particular time – to go with the light effects. In short, I was simply amazed just like the kid sitting behind me. Hahaha.

Just some pictures of my visit to the aquarium. I didn't get many good shots, I think I lack practice.
