Aquariums

In this big wide world where we have no control, it would be nice to have a small beautiful world where we are in complete control. And so we have aquariums!

They can be simple ones like at the Chinese Language Center.

Or ones with complex themes like this one from the KaoHsiung Museum of Science and Technology.

One of the most popular fish are fancy guppies. My father and I used to raise these guppies, their easy to breed and hard to kill.

At least in Tainan, there are lots of  tropical fish shops, there must be some great home aquariums out there.

Being an island, Taiwan also has some colorful saltwater aquariums, I saw Nemo is this one.

Some of the fish are huge, I have to confess that I have caught wild fish that were smaller and ate them.

There is one aquarium shop that I can recommend just because they have a good name.

I know aquariums are prescribed for tired eyes as watching the fish glide across the screen is soothing. After a hard day squinting at small Chinese characters I can appreciate the need for some soothing eye exercises.

Also, everyone knows that,  ghosts can not make turns and an aquarium at the entrance will block a ghost from entering. Just like with mirrors, they will seen their own reflection and run with fright!
