Turkey capital is finally getting own mug from You Are Here Series, yes, I am talking about Ankara. It is also the second largest city in the country, after Istanbul. It was a small town in the beginning of 20th century, but since 1920, when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his associates chose it as a center of their resistance movement against the Allies, it grew into what we can see now.… Read more

You Are Here Disney – Magic Kingdom 2

Did you guys manage to catch your breath since latest Disney releases? Well, no time for relaxation since the brand new You Are Here Disney – Magic Kingdom was spotted online. Still waiting for collectors to report seeing these mugs in stores, but I am sure this is just the matter of couple hours.
Apparently all those rumors about Starbucks replacing the whole Disney range is true. All current mugs are on sale in both Florida and California locations. If you have access to theme parks, I think this is the best time to hoard v1s

Btw, what do you guys think of this new design?… Read more

You Are Here – Japan

“I need this mug in my life” – that’s what people say about this brand new YAH! And I couldn’t agree more! Would you ever guess Starbucks released You Are Here Japan mug since this country has other series?
What can I say? This mug is beautiful, showing well known Japanese landmarks:
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 12 388 ft (~ 3 800 meters) is a very popular touristic attraction (up to 200k people visit it each year).… Read more

You probably remember I was complaining about Glasgow YAH not being released prior other Scottish cities. Well, here it is – brand new You Are Here Glasgow. Finally! Did you know it is the largest city in Scotland? It’s peak population has reached 1,127,825 people in 1938 during Industrial Revolution. It has declined since people relocated to suburbs. Interesting fact: citizens of the city are referred to as “Glaswegians” or “Weegies”.
I tend to believe the inside of the mug is dark blue, my favorite.… Read more

It might be difficult to grasp at first, but this is the third version of You Are Here Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Hold on, didn’t we have the the second one released earlier this year? True, but why not, Starbucks tells us!
Interesting enough, the inside color has changed drastically. From red for the first two mugs, to dark green here.
I am going to add the details of what’s pictured on the mug later.… Read more

Yau Are Here – Dusseldorf

Another mug from Germany – You Are Here Dusseldorf. The total count of German mugs comes to eight. Again we see local variant of writing the name, with the O modified with what is known as an “umlaut mark”.
Dusseldorf is the seventh most populous city in Germany and an international business and financial centre known for fashion and trade fairs.
I only see some buildings, the river Rhine and red carnival cap for Rhenish Carnival celebrations held every year in February / March
I see no trace of Rheinturm – a 240.5 metre high concrete telecommunications tower.… Read more

You Are Here – England

Since Starbucks broke it’s own “no European country YAHs” rule with the release of France we can finally welcome You Are Here – England mug.
Rain, tea, Red telephone box. Did I miss anything? As per eyewitness reports, this mug was only spotted in Southampton so far, but I am pretty sure it will spread over the England pretty fast.

Update from 09/20/2017: as it has been noticed by Michael (see comments) I missed Stonehenge – one of the most famous landmarks in the UK.… Read more
