Saigon has been home to a 600kg rubber duck for the past month. We've seen it from the road, and man is it big but we decided that we had to go and see it properly in person. So along with our friend Kirsty, we trundled off to Crescent Mall to see the big duck.
The duck is "an iconic work of internationally-acclaimed Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, is a huge version of kids’ popular yellow toy duck which is stylized to entertain spectators, particularly children.
Beginning with a tour titled “Spreading Joy around the World” in 2007, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman said he wanted to recall everyone’s fond childhood memories by showcasing the duck in 14 cities around the world, starting in his hometown, Amsterdam.
The adorable duck has since been exhibited in such cities as Lommel (Belgium), Osaka (Japan), Sydney (Australia), and Hong Kong (China)."
