S.E.A. Aquarium

My main reason for going to Sentosa was to check out the Southeast Asia Aquarium, which claims to be the world's largest (I think this is computed by cumulative tank volume).  Also in true Disney fashion, you're faced with a queue to buy an expensive ticket, a queue to enter the outer museum area, and then a particularly long queue to enter the aquarium itself.

Overall I enjoyed the aquarium, lots of colorful tropical fish, and several sections with very large viewing walls which provide a nice opportunity to gaze for a while.  There was not a large diversity of sea life presented though, even though the place is huge it shows little besides tropical fish and dolphins, but fortunately that made it fast to get through.  The combination of intense crowds, small children, a culture that insists on photographing everything, and confined spaces does not make for relaxation :)
