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.
