I am sitting here drinking a cup of hot green tea as we speak. I do not like it cold or iced.
I understand the water in Boston Harbor still tastes like tea.
starbucks: I HATE Starbucks. Big mugs of coffee that taste like !!&%$!! (just my opinion of course!) But yeah: Starbucks is taking Britain over!

They seem to be doing pretty well (until recently) for a company nobody likes, don't they? The problem goes way beyond Starbucks, but doesn't it just seem like everywhere you go anymore, everything looks exactly the same? You see the same shops in every mall, street, etc., no matter what country you're in. It's getting harder and harder to find things that are unique to certain places. Yeah: over here it really seemed to start with Mc Donald's and KFC, but now everywhere seems to have the same shops and cafes etc. Nearly every town here has a Woolworth's, Boots, Starbucks, etc etc. It used to be that you could visit a place and get a whole lot of unique local shops but that's not really the case any longer and it's a real shame You guys don't have Tim Hortons do you? We have more of those than Starbucks here in Canada

I am a proper Bostonian in exile. I only get to return to my local habitat about once a year in July. I hate Starbucks. Instead, I have my contacts in the Boston area who send me Dunkin Donuts coffee beans at a discount <G>.
