This has "Emz" written all over it...




Ok, so when that fateful day arrives that I'm married and decide to have a baby, I just might have to deliver my first-born in Taiwan. "Say what?" Well, they have just opened a (gasp) maternity ward dedicated to my favorite furry feline: Miss Hello Kitty! Seriously, is this a sign or what? I really hope the States decide to steal this idea, because then I might actually look forward to giving birth. I wonder if the hospital offers pink epidurals?

"From blankets and birth certificates to cots and uniforms worn by staff, every aspect of the Hello Kitty hospital is emblazoned with the feline motif.
Patients are welcomed by a statue of Hello Kitty dressed in a doctor's uniform, before travelling in a Hello Kitty elevator to a pink examination room with Hello Kitty posters on the wall.
The hospital's director Tsai Tsung-chi opened the £2m (T$100m) hospital in his hometown after obtaining authorisation from the fictitious cat's Japanese parent company Sanrio Co Ltd.
Describing the objectives of the hospital, he said: "I wish that everyone who comes here, mothers who suffer while giving birth and children who suffer from an illness, can get medical care while seeing these kitties and bring a smile to their faces, helping forget about discomfort and recover faster," according to www.telegraph.co.uk
