Welcome to Global Cafe

Our city just did not know what hit it last week when we brought Starbucks to town! We hosted an English club at our company for the first time last week and served Starbucks and good English conversation practice. We're going to try to make it a monthly occasion. My roommate, let me tell you, is quite the barista. As we all should be after our extensive 'training night'! We met the night before and made pots of coffee and added a bit of sugar, a bit more of sugar, a bit of cocoa and some more sugar until we got our recipes just right. We drank coffee and rearranged furniture and tried more coffee and didn't sleep! We put alot of hard work into the cafe and it was so worth it. I think alot of people will come back next time and bring some friends. Tea is the drink of Turks, so we did have to do some advertising--which consisted of walking around carrying a mocha, saying, 'Mmmm, this is delicious' to get people to branch out past the usual cup of tea...But when they did branch out, they were pleasantly surprised. Word on the street is that we may have a Starbucks coming to a street near us soon, but until then we're giving them a run for their money at the Global Cafe! It was a great night and we were able to meet some new friends and give some old ones a place to gather, have some fun, meet some new people, and have some good conversation.
