Just right after it’s brother, You Are Here Christmas Macau has been revealed. When comparing to the regular YAH, I spotted following differences:
– bridge has Christmas hat
– flying gift-box
– candy cane next to the tower
Interesting detail – part of the waves is filled with gold and not just outlined. Looks great!… Read more
Another confirmed Christmas YAH with real picture – You Are Here Stockholm.
Similar to regular mug, but with the following differences:
– a snowman added next to the fountains
– Christmas lights stretched between Stockholm City Hall towers… 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
We only had Zurich from this “square flag country” and voila, two new mugs has been released this October.
Please welcome You Are Here Switzerland. This is a very colorful mug and we can see blue mountains, green highlands, Swiss watch and a cow (for Swiss cheese?)
Did you know,
– Switzerland has four national languages: French, German, Italian and Rhaeto-Romantsch (with Latin roots). English is increasingly popular – 60 percent of the population are proficient in English.
– The Swiss eat 11kg of chocolate per person per year more than any other nation in the world.… Read more
Finally here!!! This time it’s real but it looks different compared to the rumored one from the last year! So technically it’s a second version of Amsterdam Christmas YAH. I believe someone has the first, never released version in his collection, wow!
Alright, so the picture of the mug from 2016 is really small, still let’s compare:
Noticeable differences:
– different place for Christmas tree
– Christmas bows are missing in the new design
– waves are just outlined and not filled with gold color
Another comparison with the regular Amsterdam YAH:
Noticeable differences:
– a tree was replaced with Christmas tree
– Christmas gift-box floating in the water
– a snowman was added close the water
When we get more pics of this mug, we might see more elements which are different!… Read more
Christmas came to Hong Kong earlier this year! Meet You Are Here Christmas – Hong Kong! I believe last year Holiday YAHs were a success and Starbucks decided to expand this mug family quite a lot this time.
Again we see solid gold lines outlining same points of interest as on regular mug but with certain Christmas elements added:
– a Christmas hat for the mountain
– flying gift-boxes
You know what they say about gold? The more the better! And I agree with those who say that this new approach looks more festive.… Read more
Unexpected release from India – You Are Here Mumbai. As per Wiki page, Starbucks has a joint venture company with Tata, which operates all outlets in India. It has about 100 stores, so I guess it made sense to finally have an YAH.
Interesting to note, the English name of Mumbai was Bombay before 1995, when it was officially renamed. It is the most populous city in India (around 19 million people) as well as the wealthiest.
Points of interest from the mug:
– Gateway of India – this monument was built between 1913 and 1924 to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary at Apollo Bunder during their visit to India in 1911.… Read more
Look at this beauty. Straight from Santa’s sack, brand new You Are Here Christmas Singapore! Real picture, not a render from press release.
The inside is red, lines are solid and gold. There was a fear they’ve changed the color to silver, see London 2 mug, but it looks like that picture has wrong white balance. The lines on the mug are gold indeed and I have to admit look better than dotted.
Just a reminder, this is a part of a huge batch of Christmas YAHs coming this Holidays!… Read more
We’re finally getting real photos of second versions of Christmas YAHs from last year as You Are Here Christmas London was spotted today on eBay. As I told earlier, lines are solid instead of dotted and I don’t really see any other difference. Well, lines alone make it “different” and valuable for collectors. As usual, I suggest to buy the previous version as it is evident it wont be released again.… Read more
