SOUVENIRS | Netherlands & Amsterdam Starbucks Global Icon City Mugs
Saturday, October 29, 2011
I was looking forward to flying to Cebu this October and get my Cebu Starbucks Mug, but unfortunately my trip to the Netherlands coincided with my Southern City date; I chose Holland over Cebu of course.
The final day came and I still didn’t have my mugs! We were late going to the airport as our bodies finally gave up on us and didn’t let us wake on time. After all our papers were done, the first order of the day was to find the Starbucks Café in the airport; and Schiphol Airport is freaking gargantuan! It’s like Megamall only more confusing.
After almost half an hour of running around, we finally found it.
I paid €12.95 for each mug (it was much cheaper in Starbucks Amsterdam by €3.00) without flinching. It cost Php781.00 in our currency, almost double the price of the Starbucks Mugs being sold in the Philippines.
I was nevertheless very happy with my purchase, I finally got my windmills and Singel Canal Mugs; my trip to The Netherlands is at last complete.

I love these huge Starbucks souvenir mugs, i make sure it's the one i use when im craving a massive cuppa! Though parang mahal sya kesa dito... pero dahil baka kasi sa airport yung branch na yun.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time & enjoyed your stay there. I could imagine it being cold and a bit grey but im hoping you were able to catch some sunny days din.

ReplyDeleteOo mas mahal sya kasi sa airport eh, mas mura sana sa Amsterdam kaso di namin nadaanan yung branch nila dun.
