I’m going to India for 2 weeks after Christmas, and I can’t wait. Here are some good quotes about travel:
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” – Saint Augustine
“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.” – Mohammed
“Travel is the frivolous part of serious lives, and the serious part of frivolous ones.” – Anne Sophie Swetchine
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. the great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Some say Starbucks can no longer depend on WOM alone. Some say Starbucks has saturated the market. Either way, I think their new TV campaign is really cute. It’s not too intrusive and it doesn’t even talk about products. So, I say congratulations to Starbucks (and their agency, W+K).
However, critics bring up a good point – the ads lack identity. They could probably be used for some other brand and still work. It makes me wonder how effective the campaign will be in increasing sales/store visits.

I am ready to go snowboarding. However that could be a problem if there’s no snow. Let’s check out the conditions at the nearest resorts:
Wintergreen – still closed (no snow)
Massanutten – still closed (no snow)
Snowshoe – opening Nov. 21st (Thurs-showers 58degrees, Fri-flurries 38degrees, Sat-cloudy 43degrees, Sun-showers 46degrees)
Sugar Mountain – open (Thurs-showers 51degrees, Fri-cloudy 28degrees, Sat-cloudy 31 degrees)
I think Snowshoe has the most potential.
