starbucks, is a place you'd go to with a bunch of friends, or to have your early morning breakfast on your day off, or just pick up your cafe mocha & cheese croissant. when I was in the states, I'd go every single morning to either pick up my cafe & head back to the hotel room & sit in front of my notebook, or just simply enjoy the whole atmosphere at starbucks. my favorite was a small branch at Barnes & Noble. I used to sit just around a hidden corner, going through Vogue or a new PC book I got. But there was always something missing..
