Women can feel safe w/ Pink Taxis

The government of the city of Puebla, Mexico have recently launched a women-only taxi service called Pink Taxi.

The vehicles are driven by women only, and are designed to make women feel safer and protected against sexual harassment and robberies. Each car include a beauty kit, GPS and a stolen vehicle recovery system. It is also an innovative idea to employ housewives, as it will generate 105 jobs in the city .

Hmm.. but are there smarter ways to equip and educate women on being safe?

Taiwan’s EVA Air goes Hello Kitty themed

via psfk.com

Taiwan’s EVA Airways now has two Hello Kitty branded Airbus A330-200 for domestic flights. Wow, they're really pushing the Sanrio cuteness with themed food, bath products, and other graphics like boarding pass and menu. I wonder if flight attendants and pilots dress in Hello Kitty uniforms for these short, domestic flights...?

I recently flew EVA Air from HKG to TPE. The short 2 hour flight was a comfortable, seamless experience :)

The little man runs faster when the amount of time is running out to cross the street! How brilliant. With all the electronics manufacturers in Taiwan it's great to see blinking lights do something more than blink an overwhelming number of colors :P
