Starbucks London, Two things I love in life: coffee & men with accents!

 March 26th, 2011 - At Starbucks, Wimbledon

If you are are coffee drinker, you know in the morning you don't feel rested until you have that morning Java! Sine I couldn't make a coffee at Penny's house, I decided before starting my day in London to stop at the Starbucks on the corner right across the train station of Wimbleton. I came in wanting a really strong coffee to wake me up after entire flight not sleeping an jet lag.  Across the street was another coffee shop called " Coffee Republic" , which looked like an English version/chain of coffee. I know, I know, I should have perhaps tried it being my first morning in London over Starbucks. You know, be the traveler, get outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Tomorrow I will go!

I ordered a grande which is the medium sized coffee cup at Starbucks when he asked me if I wanted espresso or filter. Espresso or filter?? hmmmmm To a Canadian, that's an interesting question because we have a lot of percolated/filtered coffee being served. It's the Europeans who are accustomed to having americanos and espressos. You know the "real coffee" as my Italian friend Marco told me in Cuba in January. Ummm, filter please I told the Starbucks employee. He's really hot! A tall, blonde hair, blue eyes man with a British accent, but European I could tell from somewhere else. I need to ask! He is super hot! lol 

I noticed this yesterday in Leicester Square when grabbing pizza, but I really noticed today here in England there are two prices when going to food places. One price is to stay in and one price is "take-away" which we say in North America " take-out". How is this possible? So I saw these two prices and thought what ?????? Then I stopped and thought, the rest of the word probably thinks North American tipping 15% or 20% is crazy itself!

Wow, this guy is super cute! I wonder where he is from? I need to ask! I need to take a picture! He came up to me before and asked if I was American. I proudly said I was Canadian! :P He has dreamy blue eyes! He told me he's opening a new Starbucks next week and he's a manager. Hmmmm There are two things that I love in life: coffee and men with accents! Heyyyyyy, holla!!!Where do you think this guy is really from with blonde hair and blue eyes??? I have to ask!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: He is from The Netherlands!!!!!!!!! He told me that I should go to Amsterdam and travel! I was starring and him and at that moment felt, you know that's an excellent idea! Throwing that out there to the Universe!
