You Are Here – Germany

Posted on

We had eleven German cities released prior getting to this one – Starbucks You Are Here Germany mug. Believe it or not, this is the 12th mug from this country.
As for design, this is probably the first time when I can name all elements from the mug easily:
– sun and mountains
– German sausages – there are literally hundreds of different German sausages. Important to note, that sausage names like Bratwurst, Kochwurst, Rohwurst, Brühwurst, Blutwurst or Leberwurst do not represent a particular German sausage, but a sausage type which is made in a particular way.… Read more

YAH collection is continuing to expand in Europe with the fresh release of Starbucks You Are Here Geneva mug. The color scheme is pretty interesting. The front of the mug is mostly green.

– four 15-foot-tall statues of Geneva luminaries on Reformation Wall (Mur de la Réformation)
– running shoes – for Geneva Marathon (The Harmony Geneva Marathon for UNICEF) – is an annual marathon held in May

The rest of the mug is mostly blue and shows:

You Are Here – Utrecht

Starbucks keeps delivering! Second 2018 YAH is here and it is You Are Here Utrecht, straight from Netherlands. This colorful mug is the sixth from this country.
From the mug:
– Beaches along the banks of river Rheine.
– Utrecht Centraal – largest and busiest railway station in the Netherlands
And that’s pretty much it. Although I really like recent YAHs, especially the choice of colors, I would include more landmarks for Utrecht. Specifically the iconic Domtoren, a 14th-century bell tower with city views or the Gothic Cathedral of St.… Read more

You Are Here – Netherlands

I do remember the days when Amsterdam was the only International mug from YAH series! It appeared in 2013 for a short time and was considered HTF till it has been re-released again in 2016. Since then we had two other Dutch cities and this month, finally, You Are Here Netherlands.
It has very aesthetically appealing design and I bet I saw these bikes somewhere else (Oregon?).… Read more

You Are Here – Lucerne

Posted on

As I mentioned before, October brought us two Switzerland releases. This is the second You Are Here Mug – Lucerne. It is as colorful as other two Swiss YAHs and is probably designed by the same person.
Lucerne is a very popular touristic destination due to it’s location on the shores of Lake Lucerne and within visibility of Pilatus and Rigi mountains.
So far I can only recognize Kapellbrücke – a covered wooden footbridge across the Reuss… Read more
