Goldfish As Pet

There is a goldfish gallery in Ocean Park in Hong Kong which was made according to the traditional Chinese philosophy on feeding goldfish as pet and as something good can bring you wealth and fortune. I like it, well, I mean the interior design of this gallery. However, what is showed in the photo is not for everyone, only rich people have the money to make a special room only for goldfish, well, and the chinaware. Today, people in China still feed goldfish as pet at home with the same perspective on bringing in wealth and fortune. Well, I like goldfishes as well, although some of them really looked odd, weird and not so lovely for me. But, in general, I like them, or maybe I should say that I focus more on the cultural connotations refer to pet the goldfish. That's a unique and interesting cultural context in China.
