The world's most nimble spokeskitty has struck again. This time in Taiwan.
That's where a high-speed train painted in the colors of Hello Kitty made its maiden round trip Monday between the cities of Taipei and Taitung.
About 200 fans of the mouthless icon -- which, OK, technically means it's not a "spokes" anything -- won tickets to grin deliriously during the four-hour trip between the island's north and southeast.
Painted over the train's exterior, the famed cat-not-cat also dominates the interior, appearing on walls, headrest covers, serving carts, meal boxes and, we imagine, an array o f clothing items worn by giddy riders.
So giddy that passengers actually stole more than 300 of the headrest covers following the inaugural ride, according to a report in the Taipei Times.
