Around the world on a rubber duck

GlobalPost

Since 2007 Florentijn Hofman's Rubber Duck has sailed the seas travelling to 3 continents. Hofman began the project, called "Spreading Joy Around the World," in order to reconnect people with their childhood and blissful memories.

With each stop the duck gains more popularity and affection. The next stop is Taiwan where the sculpture will be berthed until October.
