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

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

You Are Here – Switzerland

We only had Zurich from this “square flag country” and voila, two new mugs has been released this October.
Please welcome You Are Here Switzerland. This is a very colorful mug and we can see blue mountains, green highlands, Swiss watch and a cow (for Swiss cheese?)
Did you know,
– Switzerland has four national languages: French, German, Italian and Rhaeto-Romantsch (with Latin roots). English is increasingly popular – 60 percent of the population are proficient in English.
– The Swiss eat 11kg of chocolate per person per year more than any other nation in the world.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – Amsterdam

Finally here!!! This time it’s real but it looks different compared to the rumored one from the last year! So technically it’s a second version of Amsterdam Christmas YAH. I believe someone has the first, never released version in his collection, wow!

Alright, so the picture of the mug from 2016 is really small, still let’s compare:

Noticeable differences:
– different place for Christmas tree
– Christmas bows are missing in the new design
– waves are just outlined and not filled with gold color

Another comparison with the regular Amsterdam YAH:

Noticeable differences:
– a tree was replaced with Christmas tree
– Christmas gift-box floating in the water
– a snowman was added close the water

When we get more pics of this mug, we might see more elements which are different!… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – Hong Kong

Christmas came to Hong Kong earlier this year! Meet You Are Here Christmas – Hong Kong! I believe last year Holiday YAHs were a success and Starbucks decided to expand this mug family quite a lot this time.
Again we see solid gold lines outlining same points of interest as on regular mug but with certain Christmas elements added:
– a Christmas hat for the mountain
– flying gift-boxes
You know what they say about gold? The more the better! And I agree with those who say that this new approach looks more festive.… Read more
