We got some kind of group rate. I'm not sure what the rate would be off the street, too much anyway. <br /><br />I was quite amazing to see the store devoted entirely to Hello Kitty. And it was pink, very. It was a small store in an upscale mall, but still seems like overkill. Mind you there is a multi-story Barbie store in China somewhere my kid found pictures of. It's also nothing but pink froth.
