So thank god they removed Starbucks - I can't believe they allowed it to be put there in the first place. But the same goes for the many souvenir shops in the Vatican Museums - it's so tacky. I always wonder why can't they just keep them downstairs near the ticket office and let people focus on the experience and atmosphere, ditto re the Starbucks.Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-8760886132208468432008-08-14T20:55:00.000+04:002008-08-14T20:55:00.000+04:00Hi Lara,I think the Starbucks inside the Forbidden...Hi Lara,<BR/>I think the Starbucks inside the Forbidden City had to go a while ago, around 2006 I think. <BR/>And the air at the Great Wall is always better then in and around Beijing. <BR/>Anyway, great hints!<BR/>And thanks for the mentioning of my blog and my favorite guides.- Susan -https://www.blogger.com/profile/00041505753618457001noreply@blogger.com
