Singapore is only about 655 square kilometers in area; it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world.

Good thing is that I do not need to dive into the water and get myself wet.I believed that the main attraction is DUGONG, which is a sea cow that entertains visitors with its acrobatic movements. Every one of us has the chance to interact with Dugong from series of feeding and training sessions. And I was able to find out its natural abilities of tail-walking synchronization.
