    Rubber Duck in HK

    The 16 m tall, giant rubber duck designed by artist Florentijn Hofman comes to Hong Kong after visiting Japan and Australia. It will 'swim' in Victoria Harbor, near Harbor City from May 5th until June 9th
    Some people call it art, I call it DANGER! Who needs another chicken in the city when the bird flu kills more and more people???

    There is a difference between ducks and chickens. I suppose if you get killed by this duck then it would be murder most fowl.

    There is also an inflatable Stonehenge (!) in Kowloon West that you can jump on.

    I think the others are in the same area including a giant pile of ... well, I leave that to your imagination.

    Not any more...much like the real thing, overnight rain rendered said poo into an unrecognizable blob on the ground...apparently emergency repairs are forthcoming...
