 Hello, my friends. I've just read that one of my favorite US exports (Starbucks) will be closing down 600 of their stores. It's been in the news recently, as there's now a great deal of competition in the 'personalized' coffee market. Everyone from 'new' copycats to the old-school standbys (ie, Golden Arches) are now offering 'custom' coffees; lattes, macchiatos, espresso, etc. Well, I for one will continue my love-affair with the Seattle-based chain. Many have often said that there's simply 'too much/too many'. And this may be true. But I can honestly say this: whether I'm in Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Vienna, Frankfurt, or even the Netherlands, and I simply want a little taste of home , I can go down to the Starbucks and get just that: a truly familiar taste that guarantees a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. ;) Long Live Starbucks. Now...I promised some additional pics from Hong Kong. Last night we held an event at the IFC Building in Kowloon and had yet another amazing 'view'. Encased in glass, the venue (a place called, The Box) was tres-chic, and oh so groovy, both at night and during the day.
