Starbucks, instant style

Starbucks brings Via instant coffee to Japan to do battle with Nestle

Nestle Cafe, Gold Blend to be precise, is my favorite coffee. It is instant. I drink two cups of it every morning. I am sure instant Starbucks is good, but they are gonna have a tough time beating the King of the Market, Gold Blend. At least that is what I think. What do you think?

Concerning Starbucks, right around the corner from the classroom, on the corner at the intersection of Midosuji Street and Honmachi Avenue, there is a Starbucks. It is one of the nicest Starbucks I have ever seen. It is spacious, and big, and clean...And it is always crowded. Inside is non-smoking, but outside smoking is allowed. It has a place for everyone. I go there once in a while to take a break, or to have coffee with a friend. Usually I order a regular black coffee, or sometimes I splurge and get a cappuccino. How about you? Do you ever go to Starbucks? If yes, what do you order?

Yesterday, Mr. S said to me:
Mr. S: I checked your blog, but you haven't written a new one since last week. Is everything OK?
Me: Yes, everything is fine. It has just been a hectic week and I haven't gotten around to writing one yet. Tomorrow I will write one, so do you have any topics you would like me to write about
Mr. S: How about the situation with North Korea now? Do you think there will be a war?
Me: Sorry, Mr. S. I want to refrain from talking about such serious political topics on the blog. Do you understand?
Mr S: Of course I do. No problem! Ok, how about "Speed Learning"?
Me: You mean that English learning thing, who uses Ishikawa Ryo as their spokesperson?
Mr S: Yeah, that's it.
Me: Sure, I can write about that a little. But first, let's talk about that now.

So, after that, we discussed "Speed Learning." Basically, I think that it can not hurt you (your English) at all. But if it can help you improve you English or not, well, that I do not know.

Hope yall have a good weekend!


Below is Nakanoshima Park. Today I am going to go to Ustubo Park. I missed the Rose Festival, which is held once a year and ended last week, but I think some roses are still left. So I wanna check it out.
