Aquarium

Heather and the girls took us to the aquarium today. It is located in downtown KL so it was interesting just getting there. No valet parking so we parked in a parking garage - new experiences daily - now we know why Heather loves those valet guys! The guys on the scooters are crazy dare devils! They wear their jackets backwards - we can't figure out exactly why - it isn't like it's chilly here! Heather says probably to keep the bugs off their clothes!
The aquarium is located near the Petronas Towers in a huge upscale mall and park development. This mall was a "real" mall - 5 or 6 levels of expensive designer stores - we just looked as we walked through - no Gucci or Prada for us!
The aquarium is very well done with wonderful exhibits and a moving sidewalk that travels through a tunnel so you can see the sea creatures swimming all around you. Spooky when a giant - and I mean giant! - sting ray swims over you! Then we see a sign that says "Due to the glass the fish are actually 30% bigger than they seem!! We timed it so we could see them feed the sting rays and sea turtles. It was a special treat for the girls because Santa Claus was the diver today! Roger said "who would believe we are in Malaysia watching Santa feed the fish while listening to Jingle Bell Rock?!"
We had a picnic lunch in the park, played at the playground and then barely made it home before it rained.
The girls and I have had fun doing arts and crafts projects - making Christmas presents. I can't tell you what we are making - it's a surprise!
Heather is making spicy Thai food for supper - sounds delicious but I'd better go find the Tums!
We are really getting spoiled with both Heather & Renu waiting on us!
