title: I AM FULL OF COFFEE!
Haha today I drank the most coffee in my entire life. Because, you see, I don't drink coffee. I don't even like it, but I think after today this sentiment is kinda changing. HAHAHA. It still applies for strong coffee, but I think the lesser brews are actually...quite nice :D
Today I went to the Starbucks Training Facility (:

When we reached there we were shown into this cosy room with cool wallpaper. Then one of the women came in with a tray of vanilla iced latte (:D!) and things started getting exciting. First the latte, then mini versions of what they usually sell in Starbucks stores, like blueberry muffins, brownies, some tarts and this layered mango cheesecake thing. They were so good I tell you. We were just joking that today we consumed about 50 bucks' worth of Starbucks stuff without having to pay a cent HAHA.
Anyway, besides the presentations of coffee beans and stuff related to them, we got to do cupping! :D Which is tasting a little bit of different types of coffee with that requisite loud slurping noise! Then spitting it out after that so you won't get a coffee overdose. It was cool. My pathetic amateur tongue couldn't really differentiate the different types distinctly though (x
After that I tried my hand at making my own cuppaccino :O I actually downed (almost) the entire cup after that. Quite an amazing feat for me haha! We got to meet quite a few important people in the business too (:
It was fun! Anyway, my legs are aching :\ Ok, back to Chinese.
