World Is A Simulation

Collection of swimming pools became fascinating to me because I am amazed by human’s ability to create artificial environment representing where we are coming from – The Sea. Following are the top swimming pools I have explored and highly recommended so far:

Iceberg – Sydney Australia

The real sea water swimming pool! And that’s why the water temperature is freezing, and I guess that’s why it got its name from. It is deep enough and you feel you are swimming in the sea with not so good visibility. The first lap, I thought I was not going to make it and there is no easy stop in the middle, I would suggest firstly use the side lane in case you need some rest along the way. But gradually I started to appreciate the awesomeness of this pool, it is the same reason I feared it in the first place, it is like swimming in the sea and you can get the splash from the wave hitting the edge of the swimming pool! It is so worth the hassle of packing/carrying towel and swimming suits and equipment all the way while visiting the opera house, the zoo, the Madame Tussauds…

Hyatt Park Tokyo -Japan

This is just phenomenal, I knew this is the first hotel I will book in Tokyo, the outstanding bar in the movie Lost in Translation, the onsite library, the great view overseeing the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. (below is the picture from my room), a rare view of green in the heart of Tokyo.

But what’s more fascinating for a swimming pool collector like me is its high floor swimming pool, it is worth a trip by itself. 360 degree view of the city on the 47th floor. I just enjoyed spend time there early in the morning and late night:
