Blue and White Japan | 
#Rocktober #WhereTheStreetsHaveNoName This prompt made me think of Japan-especially Tokyo. I spent much time there for work years ago, the address system is complicated & many streets don't have names. I wandered on my days off, travel book in hand, getting lost looking for places like the tagged book's author's store. So many times I received help & was even walked to addresses I was looking for when friendly locals would see me searching! 🇯🇵❤️
Cinfhen #BucketList so cool you got to go! 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Yes! One of my favorite cities & countries to visit. I want to go back, it's been about 15 years. 🤗 You'll be happy to know I helped open the first Starbucks there! ☕️💚 7y
BarbaraBB Oh Japan, I sooo love that country. I visited it in 2015 and still can‘t forget about it. How cool you introduced Starbucks there! 7y

LibrarianRyan I love to do that list wander. 7y
Cinfhen That‘s incredible!!! Is it that long ago? 15 Years of Starbucks!?!?!?! 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Actually the first Starbucks was opened there in August 1996--so 21 years! I just haven't been back in 15 years. 😀 7y
Cinfhen 😮 WOW....I can‘t believe that....that‘s amazing 7y
DebinHawaii @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I love Japan too. It was the first official International Starbucks market (they didn't count Canada as International but Hawaii was the second Int'l market so go figure...) 😉 It was a crazy time but fun and I was lucky to be a part of it. 7y
DebinHawaii @LibrarianRyan I love wandering, the language & lack of easy addresses just made it more interesting. 😆👍 7y
