You Are Here – Roermond

Posted on

Do you remember good old days when Amsterdam was the only YAH outside of US? Since then so many mugs were released that International YAHs outnumbered US YAHs. Well, the second Dutch You Are Here mug is finally here – Roermond. The color scheme is very much different from Amsterdam YAH, and is mostly orange. I expected to see both churches depicted – St. Christopher’s Cathedral and Roermond Minster or ‘Munsterkerk’, but could only recognize the first.
Similar to my previous post from today, there is no Icon or Relief for this city.… Read more

You Are Here – Kuching

Posted on

What a week! Two new YAHs were announced today. This one is the first You Are Here mug from Malaysia – Kuching.
City of Kuching is the capital and the biggest city in Sarawak (Malaysian state). I have to say Starbucks chose interesting palette for this mug – black, red and grey. Quick search brings us to the answer – these are colors of Sarawak flag.

You Are Here – Salzburg

Posted on

Remember Vienna? This is his brother – Salzburg. Yes, the second You Are Here mug from Austria.
Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and literally means “Salt Fortress”. It’s centre is very well preserved and is even considered World Heritage Site according to UNESCO.
The front of the mug shows Alps, obviously, and skis. I didn’t see the back of the mug, but I expect it has some musical instrument on it, since Mozart was born here. I am pretty sure Starbucks can’t miss to commemorate this on the mug.… Read more

You Are Here – Lisboa

Posted on

I was little bit disappointed about Starbucks not releasing any new YAH recently. I got used to new release every week or even more often. It has been two weeks since my last post and finally they took pity on us. No less than the first Portugal YAH – please meet Lisboa You Are Here mug.
Again we see Starbucks used native version of the name of the city – Lisboa instead of Lisbon, something we’ve seen with Icons already.
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal with the population of 552k people.… Read more

You Are Here – Marseille

Posted on

It has been two weeks since the last release from the You Are Here series. This is the post for those who started to get worried – here you go, brand new, shiny Marseille mug. This one is the sixth from France, not counting Christmas YAH. Marseille is the second largest city in France after Paris
I’ve seen pictures of Marseille before at they were always bright and beautiful. It is officially the sunniest major city in France, and it’s really hard to find pics of Marseille in rain.… Read more

You Are Here – Zurich

Posted on

Another week starts and another YAH is released. I am sure this is just the beginning of the big Switzerland series and this is Zurich (see how many Swiss Icons were there). I really like this new You Are Here mug’s design and colors, hope you agree. I’ve never been to Zurich or even Switzerland, but from the pictures it seems the whole country is the beautiful place to live or at least visit. You can literally pick any point on map of Switzerland and it will be looking amazing.… Read more

You Are Here – Oslo

Posted on

I was about to add this mug into rumors section as I heard it’s coming soon. However, just one day later, pictures of it hit the Facebook. Oslo is the first mug (I hope) from You Are Here series released for Norway. As per official Norway facebook page, the mug is already available in stores as of today. The price is 175 NOK (Norwegian Krones) or $21, which makes it pretty expensive. Ebay prices are pretty high as well, but will go down in upcoming days (check the links from below).… Read more

You Are Here – Caerdydd

Posted on

Friday night and new release. Starbucks is filling gaps in the United Kingdom. No, this is not the new mug from England. It just had Liverpool and Oxford released recently. Give it a break. There are other countries in Great Britain waiting for mugs. Like Wales. You heard it right. Please meet You Are Here Caerdydd mug. You might wonder what that city is? Well, since Starbucks decided to use native variants of city names, we have Caerdydd mug instead of Cardiff.… Read more

You Are Here – Liverpool

Posted on

Second England YAH from today’s release – Liverpool – a city and port in North West England. You probably know it as a place where The Beatles were formed, making it a tourist destination for their fans. I see St George’s Hall – a building in Neoclassical style which contains concert halls and law courts; a soccer ball – Liverpool is the home of two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool and Everton; a horse – the world-famous Grand National horse race takes place annually in Liverpool.… Read more
