While I've Been Living Under a Rock...

.... the first Starbucks opened up in Bulgaria (last month). I just noticed it today: Sofia, the corner of Gurko and Vassil Levski, where the Pizza Hut used to be. Somehow it seems almost symbolic that one American chain should make way for another. Also, does having our very own Starbucks mean we have passed some higher bar of development?

Fuuny, they are closing down stors in the US but opening up in BG. Is it really expensive compared to cafes? Do people ever take the drinks or do they hang out and drink them inside?

Actually, I never checked it out in the end (although I wanted to out of curiosity), so I can't say.
