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 – Leipzig

Posted on

Another mug from Germany, actually 11th one, You Are Here Leipzig.
From the mug:
– Bundesverwaltungsgericht – Federal Administrative Court – one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It serves to resolve administrative law cases between the state and citizens (being their last resort).
– Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Völki) – Monument to the Battle of the Nations commemorating the Battle of Leipzig (1813) which ended up with the defeat of Napoleon. It was another important step done by the Sixth Coalition to end the war.… 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)

You Are Here – Utrecht

Posted on

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 – Prague 2

Posted on

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! Nonetheless, such is reality – You Are Here Prague v2 has just been spotted online. Whatever Starbucks’ reasons to create a new version were, I greet this mug with joy! My personal opinion – the new mug is better looking and more festive. Do you agree?
Let’s compare both mugs. Obviously, the motif is the same but certain adjustments were done.… Read more

The second YAH from India was revealed today and it is You Are Here – New Delhi. Did you know that Delhi and New Delhi are two distinct entities, with the latter being a part of the first? I honestly had no idea.
From the mug:
– India Gate – a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War
– Jantar Mantar – an observatory consisting of 13 architectural astronomy instruments.… Read more

You Are Here – Durban

Posted on

This release was announced two weeks ago on Starbucks South Africa’s Facebook page, so here it is – You Are Here – Durban.
Durban is the busiest port in South Africa. It is also a major tourist attraction thanks to the warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches.
Displayed on the mug are sun, mountains, beaches and ocean – something well describing this place. An interesting detail is the dolphin, obviously representing Ushaka Marine World – a theme park that opened in 2004.… Read more
