Is that a challenge

[Bubbles]

I woke up this morning and had the realization that school starts Wednesday. Now I have to cram in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and answer a bunch of questions on it but Dr Who is taking over

[blueflower999]

Dr. Who has a tendency to do that to people.

[Jamaha]

My friends have been travelling so there hasn't been any Civ 5 multiplayer lately, resulting in a lack of watching Doctor Who as well.

[Yugi]

I never knew you played Civ V!

[DrP]

I've been playing it before I left for Europe... been rocking Poland!!

Also, I go to France and want to have coffee at Cafés. Yet a Cappuccino at one costs 6€. At the Starbucks, I can get a bigger size for 4€ and free WiFi... Starbucks is truly the McDonalds of coffee. AND it is really good.

Most of my money has been spent on Crêpes, Macarons and various other pastries. Last night, I had cream puffs held together by whipped cream (in sort of a tower) with raspberries in the middle and covered in a hard sugar glaze.

But my problem is... COFFEE IS SO EXPENSINVE... my God. I knew Europe was expensive, but not THIS expensive. Hell, even wine at cafés were cheaper than an NORMAL cup of coffee.

I hate Starbucks. Ridiculously overpriced and it's not worth the price @_@

I'm slowly coming to the realization that I'm destined to be alone for my entire life.

@DrP, Europe is so expensive because we can afford it. B)

They're opening a shop at the Alexander's Street in Helsinki this fall, and it's fantastic. The location is right in the heart of the city, meaning I'll stop by there quite often.
also if its overpriced there think about how expensive itll be here

Usually I'm more of a tea guy, but Starbucks coffee is so awesome.

Yeah, me and my mom like it too!

Probably because of importation fees -.- any pics of food?

It used to be much much cheaper like 10-15 years ago...now it's just madness.

Hey guys, you know a kilo of coffee beans costs roughly 0.20 US cents?

True story.

[Waddle Bro]

You forgot about transportation and taxes.

It's cheaper in the US. And yes, compared to making your own coffee, it is ridiculously expensive (which is what I will plan on doing when the PSL and Eggnog Latte seasons end)


Note:
Helsinki - #5
Paris - #9
Atlanta - #24
SFO - #27 (coffee is cheap out here since CA has a lower cost of living compared to NYC and ATL)
Also, China more expensive.

I'm actually surprised that London is so cheap.

I walked right by that. I really wanted a mug from the Starbucks at the airport last night, but my flight got in at 9:45 and it closed at 10... so I jumped on the bus today just to get it... SO worth it.
Also, fixed Aleksanterinkatu

And I love coffee as much as tea... I found this tea shop in Paris called "Palais des Thés" -- SO MANY GREAT TEAS!

And the reason you can afford it is because you're used to the cost of living at this level, because it is ridiculously cheap in the US (and if I move to Europe, my firm will make cost of living adjustments)

But funnily enough, coffee at the other coffee shops (namely Coffee Shop in Sokos) are cheaper than Paris.
