Giant Rubber Duck Taiwan


Another story about my travelling in Taiwan is visiting Giant Rubber Duck...what is it? Do you know about a yellow duck toys which usually played in a bathtub by a little kids? Yes...it's that duck. But, a GIANT yellow rubber duck. How can I say that's a giant? Because the size is not 30 cm or 1 meter...But, it is 26x20x32 meters and weight more than 600 kg. So, it's a giant, isn't it? haha


This duck is designed by Dutch artist...Florentijn Hofman... and have mission to tour around the world and give a message to everyone about "Spreading Joy Aroung The World" since 2007. In this year, this duck is in Taiwan since September 2013 until December 2013. This cute duck was in Kaohsiung in September 2013 and moved to Taoyuan in October, then will be moved to Keelung, Taipei in December until Januari 2014.

I had an opportunity to visit this giant rubber duck with my international friends in information management department. When I went there, the duck was not in the water...not like in other places which placed in the water...why? 

Giant rubber duck was in the land of Taoyuan...

Because the day before we went there, the duck was deflated after earthquake in Taiwan... >.< and in the morning, it "alive" again after "die" and placed in the land to prevent from the next earthquake. hahaha
