Istanbul was a lot of fun. One day we rode the tramway to the Forum. It's a shopping mall in Istanbul. My dad was going to buy DVD's but first we went to the aquarium. It was called Turkuazoo. I began to like it as soon as I saw the first exhibit. There was a turtle called the mata mata turtle which was found in the amazon river. The next exhibit was full of red bellied piranhas! I heard this story that when a bus crashed into the amazon, 39 people were eaten alive by those ferocious fish!! The next exhibit had puffer fish which was fascinating. The next one had the legendary Arapima. These fish can leap out of the water a whack people off their boats and the person would soon drown. There was a red tailed catfish which could swallow a man whole! Some of the ocean exhibits were full of stingrays. In an 80m underwater tunnel, one stingray flew directly over me. The aquatic tunnel had also sand tiger sharks, a nurse shark and a zebra shark. In one exhibit there was whole family of clownfish, and in another there was very rare fish that reproduced only once in its life! In another there were lots of crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters etc. There was a horseshoe crab exhibit where you can even touch them.
Later we did find DVDs. One movie we saw but did not buy was called Shark in Venice. We get to have a family movie night every night when we come home.
Right now I am in Cappadocia. It is very hot but it will be a lot of fun.
