J's Chimes: Hello Kitty Theme Park Restaurant

For Hello Kitty fans, there is a heaven on earth now. Hello Kitty’s Kawaii Paradise is a theme park totally dedicated to Hello Kitty. Set in Tokyo's Odaiba district, this 10,000-square foot attraction is being called an indoor theme park.


Unfortunately it seems too small to operate any major rides. Attractions include Hello Kitty cartoons projected onto a domed ceiling, a restaurant that serves Hello Kitty pancakes, and that bastion of all theme park values, the gift shop.


An example of how the dining area looks like. Lavishly decorated with lovely pink and cute graffiti that would probably lighten patrons and fans of Hello Kitty.


A typical example of the food they sell there... These pancakes also have the ionic Hello Kitty face printed onto it. The portion amazes, especially with the hefty price tag on it. Perhaps you are buying the brand name instead...

J's Chimes: Travel To Japan

Air Asia finally have flights to Japan starting from December 2010 onwards to Haneda Airport. What's amazing is the price of RM99~ which is approximately SGD$42~ for a one-way trip. I've always wanted to go to Japan, however the air fare always seems to be one of the costliest among all besides accommodation. But the fact that ya can only get there from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia only... However, I still got reviews from friends stating that it is wiser to take a better economy class flight like SIA to Japan instead because the trip is very long and would not be feasible on a budgeted airline. Anyway you can find out more about the flight here at AirAsia.com.
