More Christmas Joy
Christmas has come to Starbucks Taipei. Yippee for the Christmas blend. I walked into our local Starbucks yesterday and was greeted with red and green everything and blatant Christmas merchandising. I realize it's quite pathetic that I derive Christmas cheer from utter commercialism, but it is the only place in Taipei that plays Christmas music and there's gotta be something said for that! The only drawback is I walked out with my cheery red cup humming along to Rudolph while wearing a tank top and flip flops.Imagination is required for Christmas in Taiwan.

Hi!
Lucky you - Christmas in Taiwan was Starbucks for me. I, alas, cannot have holiday blend from Starbucks or Cranberry from Second Cup. I do have a plethora of apple ciders to choose from.
And, if it makes you feel any better, today, as I was going to all these Christmas festivals, I saw lots of people walking around in tank tops and flip flops! Read my blog about it.
sheesh, they play Christmas music all year round here in Korea. They don't know the difference.
