Re: supporting Jose Bove - does this mean you support his taking a bulldozer and smashing to smithereens the McDonalds in Millau? I can see supporting the anti-globilization cause but not criminal activity and taking the law in his own hands. And i think there is something to McDonalds defending themselves by saying they are one of the largest buyers of French potatoes and meat. The French love McDonalds and several have said here they always seem to be mobbed. Let Bove go to international meetings to protest globilization - bravo but bulldozing down a business - that's not right. So you should qualifty your support as it sounds like you sanction his bulldozing act.

In Brussels, Jacqumotte (sp?) is a Starbucks style spot on the Grand'Place that sells takeaway coffee drinks. There is a also a Caribou Cafe takeway coffee spot at the edge of the Fnac store in the City 2 shopping center on the rue Neuve. Neither make particularly good coffee drinks, IMHO.
I have the big Starbucks mugs from Austria and Switzerland. Don't know whether I'll get a France one--the mugs are actually too big for everyday use. Made in China anyway, I think.

The popularity of Starbucks in Paris is disheartening but I suppose that every nation has at least some people who can be hornswoggled by slick marketing into drinking the loathsome swill served there.
To each his own.

I was surprised to find that there were no Starbucks in Italy, until I went there and found that you can buy a cafe latte (standup, not sit-down) for less than half the price that Starbucks would charge for the same thing.
I guess they figured out that overpriced coffee will not sell in Italy.
