The little things...

It's the little things that count.
Make the best of things.
Starbucks cures all.

So, I might have made that last one up…. but I think it'll catch on.

For those of you that know me, seeing a large Starbucks cup in my hand is nothing but ordinary. I would plan my morning route to include a foray thru the Starbucks drive thru. Well, in my two months since leaving home, I've not had Starbucks. You're thinking… Duh! You're in China. Weh-he-hell… They have Starbucks in China. And today was my first indulgence.

Starbucks in America is a bit pricey, but not bad. In China, its a lot pricey and not something I can get as frequently as in America. However, the quality is still top notch.

So, I'm sitting here in the biggest Starbucks I've ever been in (I'm on the second floor, and it's the size of 4 of my regular Starbucks at home), listening to some classy, smooth, Christmas music, sipping a delightful gingerbread latte and it hits me…. I'm in China. I know that doesn't come as a surprise to you. But for a bit, sitting here engrossed in my day, I forgot. It was nice.

So, for those of you with the means, please enjoy a holiday themed coffee for me…. Either from your local Starbucks or any other coffee place you choose.

Until next time.
