The Cult of Sanrio
Tired of monotonous self check-in kiosks at international airports? Taoyuan County resisted calls to become the only Hello Kitty-free zone in East Asia and allowed Eva Airlines to install Hello Kitty-themed self check-in kiosks at Taoyuan International Airport. Now you too can surround yourself in Hello Kitty before getting on an Eva Airlines Hello Kitty-themed airplane.
I am re-visiting TW for at the moment and when I leave, I’ll look for those check-in kiosks. The airport keeps undergoing construction to really mark itself as an international airport. I like the Hello Kitty waiting area in the departure area as well.
Perhaps government agencies will also allow themselves to be taken over by Hello Kitty in the future. Imagine taking your driving test in Hello Kitty decorated pink Volkswagens.
haha! I just went to HK on Friday and was noticing this! I couldn’t believe it! Hello Kitty is taking over Asia and soon, soon the rest of the world will be papered over with Hello Kitty too! I think I’ll reblog this because I didn’t get a chance to take any pics.
Reblogged this on Adventures in Living Abroad and commented:
I didn’t get a chance to take any pictures of this on my recent trip to Hong Kong, but I noticed this kiosk at the airport myself. Check it out. Hello Kitty is slowly taking over everything that we think of as normal.
Oh my goodness, I hope it doesnt come over to america. That much pink can make me go blind.
If I never see Hello Kitty or Angry Birds again it will be too soon. They even have a whole Hello Kitty restaurant in Taipei. And no. I’ve never been. I’m not sure I could bear it.
They’ve got a long ways to go. In the movie Demolition Man every restaurant was a Taco Bell. I don’t know which would be worse.
Cheerful! Wish our airports have themed interior!
So long as it is easy to navigate and free of eyesores I am happy.
True but some colors and patterns can brighten the place up! Adds some dynamic feelings to an area.
