While waiting to go out to lunch today, we asked Kim why there was a goldfish tank in the ELC office, but no fish in said tank. It turns out that when they built the ELC, they consulted a 風水 (feng shui) expert. The expert noted that the UM library (which includes the ELC in the basement) had an excellent view of the Taipa municipal graveyard on a nearby hill, a very inauspicious omen. Therefore, he recommended that there be a fish tank in the ELC, which should include nine fish, and one of them should be black. The fish were apparently supposed to soak up all the bad 風水 in the office, and die.
They completed their mission admirably.
Therefore, there are no fish in the tank right now, although they may be purchasing more in the future (which hopefully will not meet the same fate).
