You Are Here – Hai Phong

Posted on

Little bit unexpected, yet pleasant surprise from Vietnam – Starbucks You Are Here Hai Phong mug. Love it’s colors! It almost made me want to collect all five Vietnamese YAHs. Interesting enough, according to Starbucks Vietnam Facebook page, you can only buy this mug at Starbucks Tran Phu, 15A Tran Phu street, Hai Phong city, but I am pretty sure in a month or two it will appear in all major airports of the country.
Hai Phong is a major industrial city and the third largest city in Vietnam.… Read more

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

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

You Are Here – Geneva

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.
– there is a red statue I can’t identify (I tried hard, trust me)
– 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 Ornament – Da Nang

Posted on

This is an unexpected release from Starbucks. Yes, we did anticipate the YAH mug for the newly opened Da Nang store, but there were no rumors about ornament! So here it is, You Are Here Ornament Da Nang. Again, a very low quality photo from the store’s shelf. Let’s see what it looks like in real. I am planning to get one for sure!

Update from 02/05/2018: added a better picture of the ornament. Now we can identify design elements from this mini mug.… Read more

You Are Here – Da Nang

Posted on

Even though the quality of the photo is very bad, I am excited to announce the release of You Are Here Da Nang mug. It had been rumored last December, but there was no real photo of it! Today, Starbucks has opened a store in Da Nang and we can see new mugs on the shelf. Let’s wait for better pics in order to identify what design elements were used for the new release.
Update from 02/05/2018: added a better image where we can see:
– a cruise ship (referring to the fact that Da Nang is a popular resort city due it’s beautiful sandy beaches)
– fireworks (DaNang International Fireworks Festival)
– Dragon Bridge – a six lanes bridge over the River Hàn opened in 2013
– Hàn River Bridge – swing bridge (car traffic has to be stopped for the the bridge to swing and to allow shipping traffic to pass along the river)
It’s the first time I see two bridges depicted on one YAH and this is probably why Da Nang’s nickname is City of Bridges.… Read more

You Are Here – Budapest 2

Posted on

In the lights of new series coming, Starbucks still continues releasing YAHs mugs for Europe. The “new” mug is pretty interesting because it’s not completely new, but rather bug-fixing. Why? Because it’s You Are Here Budapest 2, and the only difference from Budapest 1 seems to be the blue color used for the name of the city and the inside of the mug. Everything else is exactly the same:
– Buda Castle
– Millennium Underground Railway
– Hungarian Parliament Building
– Hősök tere (Heroes’ Square)

Strange?… Read more
