Been There – Montreal

Starbucks Been There Montreal mug is finally in town! I have to admit I was wrong about the design of this particular mug. It looks so much better in reality. It looks amazing. I really like it.
The full review will come soon, but for now, I can tell you, I don’t see Notre-Dame Basilica, which I find weird. Nonetheless there are so many other things to discover on this mug. Stay tuned.
As a bonus, the photo of Montreal and Quebec together:

Been There – Mississippi 2

The release of this mug was definitely delayed, but today, the 50th state has revealed its design. Please note, Starbucks Been There Mississippi is probably an error (misprint) mug since it came out much later than other states. Unfortunately, I don’t have any proof of that, but I secretly hope someone got it (either from manufacturer or store staff) and will show to the world sooner or later. From first glance, it seems the mug is dedicated to wildlife. Let’s wait for other sides to have the full picture.… Read more

You Are Here – Krakow

YAH mugs are still in demand in Europe. Brand new release, Starbucks You Are Here Krakow is another example.
From the mug:
Kraków Cloth Hall – was once a major centre of international trade. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978.
St. Mary’s Basilica – one of the best examples of Polish Gothic architecture. Probably the most interesting detail here – its towers are of a different design and height.
Kraków Barbican – a fortified outpost once connected to the city walls

You Are Here Disney – Parc Walt Disney Studios

Surprise, surprise! It’s not just one Disney mug has been released today. Please welcome the latest addition to YAH Disney family – Starbucks You Are Here Parc Walt Disney Studios mug. To be honest, I had no idea there are 2 parks in Paris. Well, the more the better, right?

You Are Here – Guilin

Starbucks You Are Here Guilin. This city is located on the banks of Li River, on the South of China. Due to the large number of fragrant sweet osmanthus trees, the city got its name, which means “Forest of Sweet Osmanthus”. Famous karst mountains surrounding Li River were placed on the front of the mug. These are formed when soluble bedrock dissolves, from the top down through receding waters and rains. The softer rock eroded more quickly, leaving hardier pinnacles to stand tall in resistance.… Read more

You Are Here – Zhuhai

Starbucks You Are Here Zhuhai is the sixth mug from the new Chinese releases. This city is one of the main tourist destinations in China. That is why it is sometimes called the Chinese Riviera. You can see The New Yuan Ming Palace on the mug, which is a partial reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing. In 2014 Zhuhai was named the most livable city in China by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – China

Even though it’s not Christmas yet, Starbucks decided to come up with one of the most beautiful mugs from soon to be discontinued series – You Are Here Christmas China. Again, considering the release date, we probably better call it You Are Here China Gold? Regardless, I have to repeat, this mug looks amazing. My understanding this is due to big dragon, which is not just outlined, but fully painted with Gold. This is probably one of those “must have” mugs every collector should get.… Read more
