You Are Here – Karlovy Vary

I suspect that Starbucks You Are Here Karlovy Vary mug was planned a long time ago, but considering the circumstances, this release was delayed. I very much like this nice design with soft colors and certain bright red spots. Those symbolize the fall colors of the mountains that surround the city and also the red roofs of its buildings.
Karlovy Vary is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic with numerous hot springs. The German name of the city is Karlsbad and it had a mostly German-speaking population till 1945,
Here are some points of interest that designers of the mug were inspired by:
– The front of the mug showcases the historical buildings of the city.… Read more

You Are Here – Prague 2

Would you have guessed what is the first YAH of 2018? Under no circumstances would I bet on a second version of the existing mug from Europe!

My personal opinion – the new mug is better looking and more festive. Do you agree?

You Are Here Christmas – Prague

Only a month after releasing YAH Prague mug, Starbucks presents a Christmas version of it – something hard to believe. The mug’s plot will be similar to a regular YAH mug with the only difference – all elements will be outlined in gold. We expect to see: Old Town Hall with Prague Orloj, Charles Bridge, a marionette – referring to National Marionette Theatre and accordion for International Accordion Days in Prague.
There could be probably other Christmas elements added, a sock maybe.… Read more

You Are Here – Prague

It is hard to believe but this brand new Prague mug is the third one from You Are Here series released in 2 days. And the first YAH mug for the Czech Republic.
By looking at the mug we can see Old Town Hall located in Old Town Square – a historic square in the heart of the Old City of Prague. The most significant element of the Old Town Hall is obviously Prague’s astronomical clock or Prague Orloj. It was built in 1410 and remains the oldest operating astronomical clock in the world.… Read more
