Life Ruined

So I love my cute cousin Vanessa and her husband Ryan. One day I was over at their house and Ryan told me that he flew on a Hello Kitty Airplane from Taipei to Hong Kong. He said at first he and a coworker saw the outside of the airplane with Hello Kitty's face on it, and thought it ended there, but no no, they were in for a surprise! A looked into it as soon as I got home, and to my disappointment I found out that this no longer existed! "In October 2005, EVA Air launched a campaign with Japanese company Sanrio to create the "Hello Kitty Jet," featuring the popular Japanese character. Using the airline's A330-200, the exterior adopted a livery of Hello Kitty characters. A year later, the airline launched a second Hello Kitty Jet. The aircraft featured a Hello Kitty motif on exterior and interior fittings and features. Both planes were used to serve Japanese destinations, and from mid–July 2007, also Taipei-Hong Kong routes. The Hello Kitty livery was retired in 2009." (wikipedia)
