Trust me Katia, it takes a lot more than that for me to take it personal. I just wanted to find out something about the person behind the comments, and the only way we know a little about each other here is by reading each other's blogs. It's absolutely fine. Whatever you're comfortable with. I never buy Starbucks mixed drinks. Too exotic for me. I like simple plain good tasting coffee, and their coffee has the best taste. Try their Sumatra or Yemen coffee and you'll see. That's how they started, selling out good coffee, and they still do, but some people now opt for the mixed stuff.

Hello Mr Anasourie,
About the blog, don't take it personally. I'm just not writing there anymore. As for the coffee, I don't often drink it, but when I do, it has to be right. Starbucks to me is more about coffee cocktails than real coffee. Some of them cocktails are good but they're not coffee... Now, do I sound like a snobby European or not yet? :p
So, as Abufares suggested, why don't you two North Americans take us to the best places you know and we'll decide then ;-)
Btw Ms Mariyah, I think I speak for all of us here when I say mne23od ma3ek 3al nashef eza bedek bas khalena neksab hal a3de ;-)

I'm just as happy with a glass of water if it means I can sit down with all of you! :) Cheers!

A coffee debate, huh? I know one thing. In 15 years, other than when I go to Syria, I haven't drank anything but Starbucks. Plain coffee with half and half and brown sugar. That cup of Java just makes my day. Never heard of Lavazza to be honest with you, but I'll try anything at least once. Anything that is lawful of course.Welcome back Ms. Katia, how come your blog is set to private? I asked that last time and you never responded.

Katia
I never drink anything but Lavazza. One espresso per day for as long as I can remember.
How about we let these 2 North Americans take us to the best place(s) they know of?

Come on, you coffee drinkers are disappointing me....

Come on, you coffee drinkers are disappointing me... Starbucks is nowhere near real coffee. Get yourself some Lavazza ;-) Quality, peeps, quality ;-)

Ramadan Karim Mr Anasourie :-)

Thank you both. Abu Fares you'll always be Mariyah's first love. I'm just a side kick, a fifth wheel if you may. Starbucks Anyone?

Nice to see you here too, Abufares!! :) Sourie has made a nice place here to meet up!! Shall we all three of us sit down for a cyber-coffee!! ;)

Well, I've been living out of my suitcase for the last few years. However, I must admit I travel for much shorter trips (4 or 5 days at a time mainly) and as thus normally enjoy the change of scenery and the hotel life. It seems that this year I'll spend Ramadan at home but won't be around for the entire duration of the Eid.
I love American Football, or to be more accurate, loved it back when I lived there. Once I left I joined the rest of humanity and returned to my old love "Soccer" and am an avid follower of the English and Spanish leagues.
You're right to miss your neighbor with the tight pink shorts I have to admit. But since it's going to be Ramadan you might be lucky after all ;-)
Hey Mariyah, nice seeing you here.

Being away from home, Sourie, is very hard especially at this time of year. But I think it gives us a different perspective...and I suppose a real appreciation of Ramadan at home. I did notice, too, on the flip side, that I romanticized a bit too much how Ramadan at home would be like. It was still a joyful experience last year but not quite like I had envisioned. :) I hope you enjoy your experience in Philly and tell us a bit about it. Yen3ad 3aleik.
