Doing business in Asia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Russia.

There is a flight from Taipei to Fukuoka (southern Japan) and Tokyo.

Taiwan's EVA airlines www.evaair.com has teamed up with one of Japan's most popular cartoon characters Hello Kitty to create www.hellokitty.com and come up with http://evakitty.evaair.com/ .

The cat's image is plastered on the airplane, decorates the interior, including the in- flight food (does that mean cat sushi?)

The result is the plane is booked more than 90% on average. Hello Kitty duty free goods are also doing quite well.

Hello Kitty is making a killing!

Thank goodness it wasn't Hello Elephanty...he'd stomp the nothing out of our younguns.
