Out on my photo walk in Handen with Jim on that very warm Sunday I spotted a few things American. Found the Stars and Stripes at a small industrial complex. They might need to replace that flag soon. It looks a bit ragged. Ten minutes later we stopped at the ICA MAXI supermarket where Starbucks will open in a near future. It's a joint venture between the two chains. I don't think I will visit very often, I prefer small café's like Malmens Konditori, but you never know.

They are like Canadian Geese... they are everywhere. :)
Starbucks really are everywhere (although we don't have them here in the Balkans)

Your title caught my eye! ;-)
I must say that I shall be forever grateful that Starbucks introduced espresso coffee to the Washington, DC area in 1993 (which was the first one on the East Coast). Here in Vienna, from what I am told, Starbucks was a favourite hangout of young people who where looking for a smoke free place to have coffee and a chat.
Ja du, den flaggan skulle en sann amerikansk patriot inte vilja se hissad. Nu vet jag av egen erfarenhet att flaggor slits ganska fort av väder och vind.
Din förkärlek till mindre caféer är ett klokt ställningstagande. Det bara måste vara mer själsligt belönande än ett Starbucks-hak. Fast du gör klokt i att ändå öppna upp för att ett eller annat besök kan göras hos den multinationella kaffekedjan.
There's no shortage of Starbucks here, even though the overwhelming coffee shop here would be the Tim Hortons chain.
Interesting pictures. There is a Starbucks near my house and I usually visit for the sweets more than the coffee.
You can't get away from us, Steffe.
I was so sure that Starbucks would never make it in France. I was sure that they would not appreciate coffee made by Americans. But boy was I wrong. There seems to be one on every street in Paris now. However, I do observe that the customers are mostly the young crowd (or American tourists).
