Finland's Starbucks!


Okay so I'm sitting the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Helsinki and I hope I'm the only person who has come here mostly to visit Starbucks. Okay, I came to pick up my Co, but usually I don't bother with that wen he goes on his little trips. I usually sit at home and cruise the net and miss him just a little bit more until he shows up! 

Anyway, I'm almost feeling like making a video because I forgot my camera and I want to record this moment in some way other than text. Well, I've never vlogged in Public and I'm not sure if I'm about to start now. Lol. The great thing about Airports is that they are supposed to have free WIFI. So I'm using it. It's awesome. I love airports. 

I'm supposed to be an environmentalist, but I love airports and flying, even though it is kinda scary, traveling is fun. But, but, but, I also love being at home, and that's something that Starbucks has come to stand for, for me. As a teen I hated Starbucks. I made fun of it, I boycotted it, I just was totally disgusted and opposed to it. Now that I live outside of the USA I love Starbucks. I have a Starbucks card and when I am in the States I drink Starbucks on almost a daily basis. I was so happy when they opened a Starbucks here at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. 

In case any of you don't know, I really like iced coffee. Unfortunately, in Finland "the land of coffee" , iced coffee is kind of unheard of. Iced Latte's are something you can find now, and I thought you couldn't find them in the USA, I still don't know. But they're gross, and they're expensive. Sometimes I go to a cafe and ask for a bigger full of ice and a coffee and then mix them together myself. But it's never as good as it is when someone else makes it. So today, I got to experience what it's like to buy a real iced coffee in Finland and have someone else actually make it, and get a flavoring that I actually like in it, and it only cost me 3,10. 

It's too bad they don't have VIA.
