The most crowded pool I have ever seen
Filed under: Places To Go
My daughter is obsessed with being in the water. She asks if we can go swimming every time we're together, and whenever we're actually at the pool, she sings, shouts and laughs the entire time she's in the water -- usually something like "I'M SWIMMING! I'M SWIMMING!"
Now that temperatures in Texas are regularly in the triple digits, the pools are packed. Especially at the more popular locations around the city, it seems like you can't go more than 2 or 3 feet without bumping into someone.
That, however, is nothing compared to this wave pool in Tokyo. Apparently it'd been broken all day, so as soon as the pool re-opened, it was immediately filled with so many people that you can't see any water when looking at it from above.
Wow. Just. Wow.

heck I hate going to the water parks because ""floating"" down the "peaceful river" in an tube that is barely moving due to the amount of people in other tubes, is in no way fun, peaceful or safe.
