Fishy Friends..

Britain has Prince Charles and his plants....Hong Kong has Tsang and his fishy friends...so glad to see that the old ties are still in place...

From the SCMP (registration required)

"Mr Tsang has described his pet koi as "my good friends" and was distressed when two died in May after eating tadpoles. In the run-up to the chief executive election, he was regularly photographed feeding his fish first thing in the morning."

....

"Feeding fish is part of his personal image, just like the famous bow tie. Anyway, we can't buy a fake Picasso painting and hang it on the wall. It's a matter of Hong Kong's image and it's worth doing," Mr Wong said."

Only in Hong Kong could we have a leader whose personal image amounts to feeding fish, wearing a bow tie and gardening.....
