You Are Here – Bremen

I stopped counting how many German YAHs there are already. Here’s is another one, brand new You Are Here – Bremen. It has been spotted 2 days ago, but it is only now that I got the picture to share with you, thanks to a friend.
Bremen is a major economic hub of the northern regions of Germany. Many international companies have headquarters here. That’s maybe what designers were trying to emphasize by placing some tall buildings in the background on the front of the mug.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Bulgaria

The release of You Are Here Ornament – Bulgaria tells me, that I underestimated the amount of minis coming out this year. Not only bigger markets like Germany are getting new releases, we’re seeing Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria joining the party as well. We can only wish that all European mugs are “minimized”, but it’s up to Starbucks marketing department to decide.
Here’s the full-sized version of this mug, same design was used for the ornament. The string is lime green.… Read more

You Are Here – Greece

Finally, the anticipated Mediterranean YAH is here! Yes, I am talking about Starbucks You Are Here Greece mug. What do you guys think of it? To be honest with you, I am not impressed at all. It seems like Starbucks is running out of ideas for YAH collection. Similar to recent Germany mug, the new release has very little details. Apart from the sun, mountains (Mount Lycabettus probably) and an olive tree, there are only 3 other elements:
– Temple of Apollo (Ancient Corinth) – built in the 7th century.… Read more

You Are Here – Heidelberg

Yet another YAH from Germany! Is it going to be as big as China? Nonetheless, please meet Starbucks You Are Here Heidelberg mug. This town on the Neckar River is known for the Heidelberg University, founded back in 1386, making it Germany’s oldest university. Only 150k people leave in Heidelberg and half of them are students. Add here numerous tourists looking for historical points of attraction and pleasant views. And that’s what they coming for:
– Studentenkarzer – university jail – yes, you heard it right.… Read more

Alright, so there were definitely rumors circulating and even a controversial press-release photo of the new You Are Here Christmas Berlin mug which was blue inside! I didn’t want to add that to the site, since I needed a real picture, which we now have. Just a reminder, this is the fourth Christmas YAH with second version this year (previously confirmed Paris, Moscow and London). Waiting for Prague!… 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
