You Are Here – Greece

Posted on

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

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 – Koln

Posted on

I was away for some time and missed to report two new YAH releases that hit Starbucks stores in Germany. A week before that happened, those were spotted at the US military base. Please meet Koln and Dresden. Interesting enough, Starbucks decided to use German version of the name instead of English (Cologne).
Koln is the the fourth-largest city in Germany (after Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich). So far visible elements from the mug are Hohenzollern Bridge and Cologne Cathedral… Read more
