On the weekend John and I walked to what many people refer to as "The Big Duck." This huge rubber ducky measures 22×20×16 metres (72×66×52 ft). It is actually a travelling art piece by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, and it was stationed in HCMC for the past month and will leave at the end of May.
The artist actually called this travelling duck tour "Spreading joy around the world." He started the tour in 2007 and the duck has travelled to many countries on every continent so far except Africa. By creating this giant rubber duck, Hofman's goal was to recall everyone's childhood memories.
I read online that while the duck was in Taiwan several years back there was an earthquake which actually deflated it! I wonder where the duck is headed next... ?

I have NEVER seen such a large duckie! Does he deflate?
