The World's biggest Aquarium

Today, I went to Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium where the world's biggest aquarium is (it said).
There was really a huge acrylic window which is about 10m high, and we can see many whale sharks (about 2m long), manta rays, and many other fish.
I've never seen actual whale sharks or mantas, so I was deeply impressed by both the huge window and those fish. The whale sharks are really big and manta rays are so graceful (Some of them even had the leopard-print pattern on their back).
We look them for more than half an hour by sitting in a restaurant just beside the aquarium. The restaurant's waffle was delicious too.

It was really an amazing aquarium.
