CoEx (shopping mall in Seoul) Aquarium

One of the best field trips yet!!!

Crazy busy with many schools all buzzing around large tanks of tropical fish, sharks, sting rays, jellyfish, sea turtles...
Roberta and I walked in she just about barfed... and I asked if we could go for sushi that night.. ha ha each to their own!

Other random animals were there in a great Rainforest Display-- alligators, bats, etc.

and my favorite the BEAVER

Now I didn't love the beaver only because he is Canadian... but because we thought that he was dead. Roberta and I looked at each other slightly wide eyed and told the students the beaver 'didn't feel well'... the boys laughed and said "he's dead"... in my head I thought... 'silly Korean's now they have a dead or stuffed beaver on display... what is next??... And I stared at it probably shaking my head thinking 'here was a nice looking beaver lying on his back, arms kind of on his belly, mouth open, stone dead for all these kids to see... and then...wait a minute... I thought I saw the tongue move and then sure enough the 'little beaver' kind of moved his foot... I yelled 'look kids he is NOT dead and we watched this open mouthed beaver lick his lips and then resume what I can now only imagine was a heavy snore'...

It was about at this point that I missed my father... hahahhahahah.... I am JOKING!!! but laughing out loud to myself... WOW I need some friends!!!

ok well enjoy the pics.. love you DAD!
