July 21, 2006 - Corner of Heping East Road (和平東路) and Jian Guo South Road (建國南路). In San Francisco (舊金山), I never went to Starbucks because there were always alternative coffee places, but in New Jersey and in Taipei there isn't much choice. Starbucks is the place to go for a reliable cup of coffee. It doesn't help (or hurt, depending on how you see it) that this Starbucks is on the same block as where I live, and has a nice upstairs area that only gets crowded on weekend noontimes.
I think this was the only time I went there to study before my 10:20 class. Maybe I had a test, maybe I just wanted to break my usual morning routine.

do they have pumpkin spice lattes in taiwan???
is there a costco near you? we get the costco newsletter and they had an article on the international locations, and the hottest selling food stand item there is some bulgogi bake! :O
haha, ah, it must be Halloween time! I haven't noticed if they have pumpkins spice lattes, I usually just get straight-forward coffee. call me old-fashioned.
There is a CostCo, but not near me. It's actually closer to Hyun Ae's area. I'll mention it to her and she can decide if it's worth the membership :)
