The second YAH from India was revealed today and it is You Are Here – New Delhi. Did you know that Delhi and New Delhi are two distinct entities, with the latter being a part of the first? I honestly had no idea.
From the mug:
– India Gate – a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War
– Jantar Mantar – an observatory consisting of 13 architectural astronomy instruments.… Read more

This release was announced two weeks ago at Starbucks South Africa Facebook page, so here it is – You Are Here – Durban.
Durban is the busiest port in South Africa. It is also a major touristic attraction thanks to warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches.
Displayed on the mug are sun, mountains, beaches and ocean – something well describing this place. An interesting detail is the dolphin – obviously representing uShaka Marine World – a theme park opened in 2004.… Read more

The front of this colorful mug is filled with multiple landmark buildings. Among those we can see Nuremberg Castle a group of medieval fortified buildings which is considered to be one of Europe’s most formidable medieval fortifications.
On the back they placed the lion, representing Nuremberg Zoo… Read more
New YAH release – You Are Here Cameron Highlands – Malaysia’s largest hill-station area named after Sir William Cameron who was commissioned to map this area in 1885. It has unique ecosystem with hundreds of floral species that are rare to the tropics.
From the mug:
– Tea plantations – one doesn’t simply go to Cameron Highlands without visiting tea plantations and trying local tea while admiring amazing views of mountains. Probably one of the best places to learn more about tea making process.… Read more
While other countries experience Christmas releases fever, Starbucks quietly added second Portugal YAH to the collection, namely, You Are Here Porto – a very nice mug, made using blue colors.
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal. It’s history dates back to around 300 BC. It was and remains a major port in this area.
Obviously worth mentioning is Portuguese fortified wine (Port wine a.k.a vinho do Porto, Porto or simply port) produced exclusively in the Douro Valley. The fortification is achieved by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente in order to stop the fermentation.… Read more

I do remember the days when Amsterdam was the only International mug from YAH series! It appeared in 2013 for a short time and was considered HTF till it has been re-released again in 2016. Since then we had two other Dutch cities and this month, finally, You Are Here Netherlands.
It has very aesthetically appealing design and I bet I saw these bikes somewhere else (Oregon?).… Read more
As I mentioned before, October brought us two Switzerland releases. This is the second You Are Here Mug – Lucerne. It is as colorful as other two Swiss YAHs and is probably designed by the same person.
Lucerne is a very popular touristic destination due to it’s location on the shores of Lake Lucerne and within visibility of Pilatus and Rigi mountains.
So far I can only recognize Kapellbrücke – a covered wooden footbridge across the Reuss… Read more
