This is the main courtyard at Versailles. Notice the sky. It's going to rain any time soon. What a lot of people! And- would you believe it?- this showcase of French culture has only one eatery on site and all it serves is American fizzy pop, cold pizza and pre-packed sandwiches.

The only place to get food in Beijing's Forbidden City was a Starbucks, tucked away in a little building near the biggest palaces. I was there in winter and there weren't many people. I sat in almost solitude in a big courtyard, with the palace buildings all around me, drinking a Starbucks cappucino and eating a Starbucks sandwich.

I've really enjoyed the photos and posts from your holiday!

Srarbucks would have been a distinct improvement on this joint. I would have welcomed a Starbucks.
