Starbucks

So we are going on vacation so I figure I will see where the nearest Starbucks was to where we are going. Cause first half of vacation Nat will be working so Ill be bored during day at hotel, i figure a good starbucks would help. Disappointment.
Queensland is a state in Australia about the same size as the entire east coast and midwest combined. In that ENTIRE area there are 8 starbucks. EIGHT!!!
Fortunately we live in Brisbane where I know where 2 of those are and sometimes go out of my way to go there. Its really hard to believe that there are 8 in such a large area, considering in LA there were starbucks across the street from each other. Those 8 are within a 50 miles radius...mainly tourist spots.
Australians basically boycotted Starbucks because they came in and set up everywhere and Australian's were like "how the hell do you think you are...you arent real coffee...we like our local cafes so get out" I have asked several Australians about Starbucks...they most all curl up their noses and say "gross" They must only really exist for us American Expats...and those few aussies that either like the coffee, or want to be cooler by drinking it. =)

thats it
