  1. Why can´t Starbucks in Manila serve the drinks in normal mugs/cups instead of the paper cups they use? Isn´t that better? I am a big fan of Starbucks but sometimes they do not make sense. :) Hehe.

  2. Hi Erica! Actually they do! But its upon the discretion of the customer. So, unless the customer asks for a mug, SOP is they give out the paper cups. The baristas do offer using the mugs, but if the clients want paper cups - then they need to use paper cups.

    There are anal/OC customers who are not keen on using the mugs, the barista's can't force them to use the mugs right?

I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
