Flight attendants must undergo rigorous training to work for any of the world's big airlines. Most carriers have a dedicated facility where attendants go through their training regimen, both before joining an airline and then on an continuing basis to keep their skills current.

Today in the Sky contributor Jeremy Dwyer-Lindgren got a behind-the-scenes look at one of those facilities for one of Asia's top carrier's: Taiwan-based EVA Air. Check out the photo gallery above to go along with Jeremy on his tour of EVA's facility in Taoyuan near Taipei.

Scroll down for more photos from Jeremy. They include EVA Air's "Hello Kitty" plane as well as a wide range of other interesting photos from around the globe.
