Apparently Starbucks is planning on opening more than 1000 outlets in China before the next Olympics. While a double tall latte will cost about the same in Gunagzhou as it does in Copenhagen, the cost of personnel is only about 3% in China. There are a lot of people in China, maybe the ones from Nebraska will be able to afford that double tall. There are also a lot of lights on that building. Maybe the owner should visit http://www.carbonneutral.com/
Sweden has to be the perfect country for pursuing indoor occupations. The darkness, wind and rain keep people from wandering around outdoors for 9 months a year. Just think if your dream is to be a lifeguard. That would be a real downer, unless you enjoy chlorine scented swimming halls.
