Apparently I’m almost a year late on this news, but I didn’t even care because it’s so absolutely awesome. ANA, a Japanese airline is celebrating its 20th anniversary for flights to China. (Except this happened last year, so come July 2008 it’ll be celebrating it’s 21st year.) For the anniversary ANA designed a panda plane. How. Amazingly. Fun.
Everything panda you can imagine is included. The food, the chairs, the guest sitting next to you. I’m in love and I want to fly to Japan just to fly to China on this plane. I’m such a geek.

This isn’t available for sale in the US as far as I know, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with it. It’s an adorable panda umbrella that was probably bought overseas. Unfortunately, he’s a little drunk panda because as it says, alcohol is his soul mate. Found on Ceruleansky’s Flickr photostream.

I absolutely adore pandas, if I didn’t I surely wouldn’t be running this site, however I don’t know if I can commit to a panda tattoo. I have several tattoos, most of which I regret. I wonder if I’d regret getting one similar to any of these.

11 more panda tattoos after the cut!
So, it seems like a bit of an odd mention coming from a site that loves pandas, but I stumbled across this blog and found it kind of amusing. Pandas are Jerks sporadically posts comics showing why pandas are…well, jerks. This one entitled ‘What an irresponsible jerk’ is my favorite.

How awesome would it be to fly through the air on a hot air panda balloon?! Well, you can! Contact the nice people at Panda Balloons and see if they’ll be in your area soon. At 112,000 cubic feet, Pandy the balloon is most likely the largest panda ever. I hope he makes it to Colorado soon.
