New Yichang Find!


Thanks to a tip from my friend Oswin, I found bottled Starbucks Frappiccino drinks . . . . IN YICHANG! I've always longingly wished for a Starbucks in Yichang; however I know I'd be much poorer and probably a few pounds heavier if we did have a Starbucks here (so maybe it's just as well). A new bakery opened in Yiling Square downtown Yichang and they carry these drinks. They're really expensive, just like they are in the States. So they'll have to be a rare, special treat, but it's fun to know we can buy them now. The closest real Starbucks to us is a newly opened Starbucks in Wuhan, our province's capital about 4 or 5 hours away by train.
