A massive thank you...

Sometimes you need things to be easy. 20 hours into a trip from London to Kote Kinabalu is one of those times. Sitting in my 6 hour break I wanted something convenient and Starbucks provided necessary sustenance. But 20 hours into my trip I was also in desperate need of some comedic banter. I didn't believe that the most generic of eateries would provide that too. As I looked through the menu I found the usual options ranging from Mocca Frappacinnos to croissants. Starbucks of course has built itself on global consistency. Until my eyes wandered to see an option that I had not seen before...




















Yes, that's right. An ugly chicken puff. Which I thought was absolutely hilarious, until I saw...






















An uglier chicken puff. Starbucks in Soho would be so much more entertaining with these kind of options. After 20 hours of flying, this comedic gift was necessary so I'd like to thank Starbucks for handing it to me (almost literally) on a plate.


Apart from that, I'm in Kote Kinabalu, which is remarkably unremarkable. It's the Finchley of South-East Asia. There's nothing to do except visit the Islands (which I'll do tomorrow). There are no islands in Finchley. That's where the main difference lies. And it's a bit more humid than Finchley. Apart from that...

Much love to all..
