Christmas Cheer

Have a Starbucks Christmas.

Minus my good friend in the photo, this could be anywhere in the world. Global chain stores tend to have that effect. Its like how I get nostalgic about Aarhus when I last visited Ikea, largely due to the similar layout and the familiar musty smell of wood. I suppose in some sense that is comforting but is it also indicative of a loss of local identity?
Anyway, it was great catching up with the unholy trinity from JC days. We should most definately do this more often.
