Pink, plastic, "Hello Kitty"
Is it a massive over-generalisation to say that South-East Asians love all that is "Hello Kitty" much more than any other group of human population ever loved any single brand?
Parth, Haven't heard of "Hello Kitty"? Its this Japanese cartoon character; and its quite a rage in this part of the world. Even 40-year old ladies will own "Hello Kitty" pens & stationary here.
reminds me of this 4 year old daughter of a friend who has her whole room done up with hello kitty....she even has her own hello-kitty purple-colored DVD player ..and no they are not south east asians.......they are americans who can't get enough of hello-kitty either!!!!
There's a "Japanese mall" here in Cambridge (that has everything from Japanese curios, groceries to sushi restaurants , and it's referred to as "Hello Kitty" mall.

Abt "Hello Kitty": I did suspect it was a massive generalisation :)
