One thing about the exhibitions in Taiwan is, there are a lot of cute exhibitions here. Probably because of its affinity to Japanese culture. And obviously Hello Kitty is super popular here. You can easily find Hello Kitty everywhere embedded on every products you can think of.
The Robot Kitty Future Paradise (未來樂園/ Wèilái lèyuán) is currently displayed at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park ((松山文創園區/ Sōngshān wén chuàng yuánqū) from 12 July 2013 to 20 October 2013. So if you are happened to be in Taipei now, or have plan to visit Taipei not later than 20 October 2013, you can pop a visit to this exhibition.
The ticket price to enter the exhibition varies depending on whether you want to buy the robot kitty or not (yes, you can buy it and add accessories accordingly to your robot). If you simply want to go in and madly take picture of everything cute (like me), the ticket price is 300 NTD.
With the ticket in hands, we are ready to visit Sanrio Robotics Institute. =)
There's the assembly manual for Robot Kitty. If you buy the robot, you don't have assembly it yourself though. So don't worry if it seems complicated on the picture. =P
We begin the tour by visiting the production team of Robot Kitty, led by Bad Badzt Maru. I was crazily in love with this character in primary school. I even begged my parents to buy me a Bad Badzt Maru watch. XD
The institute have their own Quality Control teams, which is lead by a team of Kero Kero Keroppi. Awww!
And they have a work schedule. Hahaha. So creative and cute at the same time.
The components for the assembly are being prepared at the Component Department.
Now we just need to find the "magic button" somewhere in the lab.
Voila! Hello Kitty with wings. =)
The pictures that I've shown above are just the small fraction of what you will see inside. So if you are interested in the exhibition, you can go to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park (see A) by taking the MRT to either Taipei City Hall Station or Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall Station. The place is within walking distance from both stations. What are you waiting for? =)
