Just had my graduation ceremony this afternoon. Just realized I didn't take any shots with my iphone!!

A little thirsty now, so decided to pick up some coffee at 7-11. There's Starbucks from Kyoto, Milano and Seattle. I'll go with Kyoto because it's green.

Which would you choose?

    omedetou!

    I'd take the Seattle latte since I'm not a fan of espresso. I don't drink that much coffee, though; would rather have milk tea or perhaps a fruit juice. Wish our konbinis served these types of drinks - we get other types of Starbucks drinks instead.

          Haha, I the the "flat white" is something of an Australian thing. I've tried ordering them overseas and just got blank looks. Only time that didn't happen was in Edinburgh... and that's because it was an Aussie barrista behind the counter (only decent coffee we got all holiday too).

    Interesting you can get Starbucks at a 7-11... In here they're competitions, except for the bottled coffee stuff.

      ...Wait a second, just took a look at the price tag. 210 yen? Are you *SERIOUS*? We'd have to pay at least double, no, triple that here.

      I weep.
