A slave of Starbucks

When I was in Tokyo, Starbucks was always the last cafe for us to stop by

since there were tons of much nicer cafes than the franchised  "OK" brand.

But now, I really cannot imagine how I could live without it simply because 

nothing better than this mediocre cafe is available in Boston, at least in my area. 

One of the challenges that happened to me today was that 

when I ordered a tall coffee, again, as always I do, 

a store clerk asked me about my preference in the degree of brew.

I think what he said was

Pike Place (light), Bold (strong), and something else (medium)?

 

I think I need to just stick to medium, whatever it is. 

There are still a lot of things that I need to learn from my routine life.
