The Hello Kitty Restaurant.

Only in Taiwan will you find a restaurant completely devoted to Hello Kitty. You're never really able to describe just how Hello Kitty-ed out a Hello Kitty restaurant might be, but luckily, that's what pictures are for. So, I present to you in pictures the Hello Kitty restaurant we went to for Jenny's 21st birthday dinner on Sunday (yes, it was still her birthday we were celebrating haha)

The outside of the Hello Kitty restaurant. It is called Hello Kitty Sweets and while they specialize in cakes and dessert, their normal food isn't bad either.

Everything is Hello Kitty'd out, from the plates to the cakes to the food to the decoration on the coffee.

Hello Kitty signs and pictures everywhere.

A few good men hiding their masculinity in shame. Check out how Hello Kitty'd out the wall is.

Hello Kitty'd powder. Must have Hello Kitty-shaped powder shakers or something!

Birthday girl Jenny underneath the provocatively posed Hello Kitty. The sign behind Jenny says "YOU ARE SO SWEETS," and I'm not joking.

The whole group! And before my mom starts jumping for joy, I am kneeling on a chair.
All in all it was a good time. I heard that the girls' bathroom is seriously Hello Kitty'd out with a sofa and everything, but obviously I couldn't take any photographic proof. The guy's bathroom on the other hand was depressing; a urinal, toilet, and that's it! The girls' bathroom is at like the head of the stairs with an oversized door too; the guys bathroom is hidden away next to the kitchen. Not too hard to figure out who got priority in this restaurant, haha

Today we went to Xi Men Ding again to eat at this amazing noodle place. It's called something like Au Zhong Men Xian and it's a chain restaurant that is also in America. I've eaten the American ones but this one in Xi Men Ding is like 500x better. There's only a counter where they ladle out the soup in a bowl, and you basically stand around outside the store on the street eating. Then you give the bowl back to them when you're done and get on your way. It's not the most customer-friendly place but it is DELICIOUS. Ted said it best (again): "The intestines are like an explosion of flavor!" More like an explosion of awesome.

Only Tuesday and I've had two tests and three reports due this week already. Tomorrow is another test. Clearly I have it easy over here!
