Travel Tips: Places to Avoid in Taiwan
Not that I have been to Taiwan yet, but when I get round to it one place I'll definitely be avoiding is Yuanlin (員林), home of the world's first Hello Kitty themed medical establishment. Personally I would rather attempt to disembowel myself with a blunt, toothpaste-encrusted toothbrush than submit to this kind of torture thinly disguised as medical care.
Patients are welcomed by a statue of Hello Kitty dressed in a doctor's uniform, before travelling in a Hello Kitty elevator to a pink examination room with Hello Kitty posters on the wall.
Masochists can view a video news report here (warning: contains scenes likely to cause distress) and check out the obligatory Hello Kitty Hell coverage here.

Now, I wonder whether the stethoscope, forceps and vcacuum had any Hello Kitty on them?
Hello Kitty has her own branded albumfeaturing songs inspired by Hello Kitty performed a collection of artists, including Keke Palmer and Cori Yarckin.
I think it's great.
Desperate times in the "keeping it up" business?
