Guess what? Along with regular YAH, Starbucks has released You Are Here Ornament – Japan. It looks exactly like it’s bigger brother but smaller and with the red string.
Let me remind you, it has been almost 3 months without any ornament releases. I believe this is just the start of the series of minis coming out. Which country / city will be next?… Read more
“I need this mug in my life” – that’s what people say about this brand new YAH! And I couldn’t agree more! Would you ever guess Starbucks released You Are Here Japan mug since this country has other series?
What can I say? This mug is beautiful, showing well known Japanese landmarks:
– Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 12 388 ft (~ 3 800 meters) is a very popular touristic attraction (up to 200k people visit it each year).… Read more
You probably remember I was complaining about Glasgow YAH not being released prior other Scottish cities. Well, here it is – brand new You Are Here Glasgow. Finally! Did you know it is the largest city in Scotland? It’s peak population has reached 1,127,825 people in 1938 during Industrial Revolution. It has declined since people relocated to suburbs. Interesting fact: citizens of the city are referred to as “Glaswegians” or “Weegies”.
I tend to believe the inside of the mug is dark blue, my favorite.… Read more
Only yesterday we were inspecting new YAH from Disney and guess what? Another new mug from adjacent theme park. It might be difficult to grasp at first, but this is the third version of You Are Here Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Hold on, didn’t we have the the second one released earlier this year? True, but why not, Starbucks tells us!
Interesting enough, the inside color has changed drastically. From red for the first two mugs, to dark green here.
I am going to add the details of what’s pictured on the mug later.… Read more
WOW! Check out what I’ve run into at eBay today (see the links below the post). Yes, completely new design for You Are Here Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It has different colors compared to previous mug. I personally like this simple design (some might not agree).
Will update with more info soon.
Another mug from Germany – You Are Here Dusseldorf. The total count of German mugs comes to eight. Again we see local variant of writing the name, with the O modified with what is known as an “umlaut mark”.
Dusseldorf is the seventh most populous city in Germany and an international business and financial centre known for fashion and trade fairs.
I only see some buildings, the river Rhine and red carnival cap for Rhenish Carnival celebrations held every year in February / March
I see no trace of Rheinturm – a 240.5 metre high concrete telecommunications tower.… Read more
Since Starbucks broke it’s own “no European country YAHs” rule with the release of France we can finally welcome You Are Here – England mug.
Rain, tea, Red telephone box. Did I miss anything? As per eyewitness reports, this mug was only spotted in Southampton so far, but I am pretty sure it will spread over the England pretty fast.
Update from 09/20/2017: as it has been noticed by Michael (see comments) I missed Stonehenge – one of the most famous landmarks in the UK.… Read more
Cambodia scores again! New YAH from this Southeast Asian country just hit the stores. Please meet You Are Here Siem Reap mug.
Siem Reap is a popular tourist destination in northwestern Cambodia. It has a large number of hotels, restaurants, and resorts, mostly because of it being close to the Angkor temples, the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia. Angkor was the capital city of the Khmer Empire. It was in a heyday between the 9th to 15th centuries.… Read more
This is the third YAH from Netherlands. Again Starbucks has used native (in this case Dutch) version of the name – You Are Here – Den Haag. You probably know it better as The Hague. By coincidence this is the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Over 150 international organisations are hosted here. Probably the most noticeable are International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The colors of the mug are pretty vivid, yet Icon collectors might not like it.… Read more
You probably remember my previous post about China YAHs coming out. We had some bad quality pics of Christmas and one regular YAH. Everyone agreed that the last one is probably Hangzhou. But if you look at the newly leaked pics – it seems like Hangzhou will have a different design. I am now confused which one is real. I tend to believe the last news, since insiders even announced the date – mid September.
There are six mugs revealed so far:
You Are Here – Hangzhou
You Are Here – Nanjing
You Are Here – Suzhou
You Are Here – Wuxi
You Are Here – Ningbo
You Are Here – Shanghai
I am pretty sure there will be more, so free some place on your shelf if you’re planning to add these to your collection.… Read more
