I spent most of the day today in meetings in Eindhoven, a city in the south of Holland. Unlike the quaint and cozy villages which surround it, Eindhoven is an industrial center, a magnet for high-tech companies. As a result, it has become the city that locals love to hate. A popular joke goes, "Congratulations, you've just won top prize in a contest: A week's vacation in Eindhoven. Booby Prize is two weeks in Eindhoven." I disagree. If you can get around the "industrial" look, there are plenty of nice shops, restaurants and things to do here. The only thing I haven't found yet in Eindhoven is a Starbucks ...!

You need to email Starbucks to rectify that as soon as possible! There is always something about a diamond in the rough... enjoy your trip! Be safe!

Hay there Mr. Gad-a-bout! According to a news report here in USA. Starbucks has been re-accured by it's original founder, His plan is to down size a bit and re-personalize. Artical went on to say how the recient rapid growth had been ill-advised and un-healthy for the Company, and that "quality" not "quantity" would be the way of the future as had been in the past...Me?... I'm the Kid with my face pressed to the toy store window, humming to myself the tune by Carrlie Simon..."Antisipation"!..Wanna make it a duet?...lol Hurry home. I'll put a candle in frount of my computer screen for you! ....Hosta my friend...Kittie ; - }
