Singapore From Underwater

There are aquariums across the world all claiming to be the best for some reason or other. Singapore's Underwater World on Sentosa Island describes itself as Asia's largest tropical oceanarium (fair enough, if you want to get technical), and does include a reasonable collection of crabs, glow-in-the-dark jellyfish, some sharks, a dugong and run-of-the-mill fish too.
But it's 25 years old and it looks like it. If you've been to another aquarium--Osaka Aquarium comes to mind--you might be disappointed. The travelator that should zoom you round the aquarium tunnel is a little narrow; the glass is a little scratched and hazy and the fish--well, we're sure we saw one frown at us.

Sleeping with the Fishes in Vancouver

The Fairmont Vancouver Airport is a rather unassuming luxury hotel--certainly one of the nicest ones that you'll find connected to a terminal--but it has a special feature that we are quite sure Jessica Alba will not be availing herself of anytime soon. Because many of their clients go fishing as part of their visits to Vancouver, the Fairmont has their own fish freezer.
While it's not quite the same as a fish concierge, they will also prepare the fish for you, should you wish to eat it at the restaurant in the hotel. Otherwise, they'll just keep it chilly for you until it's time to go home.
Speaking of chilly, the Chasing Vancouver map is on ice for the week, and will return after Labor Day. If you see Jessica Alba sex hair or anything else of note up there, though, don't hesitate to send us a tip.
