| That's one big duck floating in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor this month.(Li Peng /Xinhua /Landov) . |
At least
one YouTube prankster has posted video of the big yellow guy blowing up. (Rest
easy, that hasn't really happened.)
But
"tens of thousands" of other people came to Hong Kong's Victoria
Harbor over the weekend to be charmed by a six-story tall rubber duck floating
along a dock, says the South China Morning Post.
According to The Associated Press, "Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman created the
bright-yellow duck, and it was built of PVC material in New Zealand by a
company specializing in large sails. ... The duck has been transported around
the world since 2007, bringing a message of peace and harmony. It has
previously been to Osaka, Japan, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Auckland, New Zealand, and
Amsterdam. It will be anchored at a Hong Kong terminal for display until
June."
Of course,
this reminds some of us of an old song — one that might help make your day a
bit brighter.
