You Are Here – International Collection

You Are Here – Budapest 2

Posted on

In the lights of new series coming, Starbucks still continues releasing YAHs mugs for Europe. The “new” mug is pretty interesting because it’s not completely new, but rather bug-fixing. Why? Because it’s You Are Here Budapest 2, and the only difference from Budapest 1 seems to be the blue color used for the name of the city and the inside of the mug. Everything else is exactly the same:
– Buda Castle
– Millennium Underground Railway
– Hungarian Parliament Building
– Hősök tere (Heroes’ Square)

You Are Here – Utrecht

Posted on

Starbucks keeps delivering! Second 2018 YAH is here and it is You Are Here Utrecht, straight from Netherlands. This colorful mug is the sixth from this country.
From the mug:
– Beaches along the banks of river Rheine.
– Utrecht Centraal – largest and busiest railway station in the Netherlands
And that’s pretty much it. Although I really like recent YAHs, especially the choice of colors, I would include more landmarks for Utrecht. Specifically the iconic Domtoren, a 14th-century bell tower with city views or the Gothic Cathedral of St.… Read more

You Are Here – Prague 2

Posted on

Would you have guessed what is the first YAH of 2018? Under no circumstances would I bet on a second version of the existing mug from Europe! Nonetheless, such is reality – You Are Here Prague v2 has just been spotted online. Whatever Starbucks’ reasons to create a new version were, I greet this mug with joy! My personal opinion – the new mug is better looking and more festive. Do you agree?
Let’s compare both mugs. Obviously, the motif is the same but certain adjustments were done.… Read more

You Are Here – Durban

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

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
