Nestled along the central coast of Vietnam, Hoi An is a captivating town that effortlessly combines the allure of ancient history with a vibrant modern-day spirit.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Vienna

Posted on

You Are Here Ornament Vienna is a complete copy of the bigger mug that I reviewed some time ago. Interestingly enough, while that release was the second edition of the full-sized mug for this city, there was no ornament for the first version. I really wish there were two variants of the ornament as well, however it doesn’t seem to be happening.
The color of the string is dark red or maybe the shade of purple.

You Are Here – Belgrade (Београд)

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here Belgrade mug is the first from this series to use non-Latin letters for the title. We’ve seen local variants of the names before, but never Cyrillic. I think the reason Starbucks decided to use that option is that in Serbia, both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are officially recognized and widely used. This unique characteristic reflects the country’s historical and cultural diversity. The Latin alphabet, also known as the “Latinica” (латиница), is predominantly used in everyday life, including signage, official documents, and digital communication.… Read more
