two posts in one night?! oh my! emily must be really desperate to not work on her paper! and she started using the the third person! on my!
i normally hate starbucks and avoid them at all costs. you know…because they’re evil corporate devils and blah blah blah (i hear they’re getting better? something like 90% of their milk is organic?)
but the normal coffee here is SO BAD that i have to go to starbucks. i went into a COFFEE SHOP in derry and the woman made me instant coffee! i don’t even have instant coffee when i’m camping. i would rather go without coffee entirely than sip that rat poison.
my mother makes very strong, very fresh, very dark coffee. i used to call that rat poison. now, it is the nectar of the gods.
how am i supposed to write 40 pages about irish contemporary art and its relationship with politics on instant coffee?
only exception to this awful coffee is this place called Butler’s. they’re all over city centre. always very tiny. very neat. lots of gold fancy script. and gold on the facade of the store. anyway, the allure is that with whatever drink you order, you get to pick a truffle! for free! (okay there is no free lunch, but work with me). the champagne truffle is my personal favorite so far. best part is going with this girl on my program who loves coffee but hates chocolate and i get to take her truffle. SUCCESS!

they opened the second starbucks in buenos aires right near my program office, and I hate going there but the store is very comfortable and they make dulce de leche frappacinos which blow caramel flavored ones out of the water.

I love how many posts there have been about CMCers missing their coffee.
