Can't believe I have missed this thread.

Starbucks is the primary place I get my coffee when in Buenos Aires. Otherwise, I'm a tea-drinker.

For years now, my Starbucks frappuccino tastes better in November in Buenos Aires than it does in Minneapolis. Go figure, it has to do with weather.

While Starbucks seems to tests its entry into countries by going for places where it can get tourist traffic (airport locals being amongst the first places it has been choosing in some European countries), it seems like they look for demand from locals as the driver in its market-entry and expansion plans. I'm just curious how they will do in Scandinavian countries, particularly those where NYC, Miami, London and Paris are also the coolest places on the planet as far as those who can afford it are concerned.
