Get in Touch with Internet Cafes

We've previously posted a list of websites that listed cafes. I've found another one to add to that um... list. It's called CafeTouch; and is exclusive to only Internet Cafes. This site has a blog and directory.

Taken from their website:
"We hope that CafeTouch will become the internet's number one Internet Cafe directory. We also home that Internet Cafe's owners will find CafeTouch to be a place where they can find ideas, discuss their business with colleagues and get updates with news."

McDonald's Opening Coffee Chain in Japan

McDonald's is set to take on Starbucks in Japan with a new chain of coffee shops brewing up bargain lattes, the fast food chain said Thursday.

The Japan unit of U.S.-based McDonald's Corp. will launch 15 pilot "McCafe" stores in the Tokyo area on August 29, according to a company release.

The stores, the burger chain's first foray into the coffee shop business, will offer drinks at low prices to target families, the release said. McDonald's said it will consider opening McCafes across Japan in the next fiscal year.

The cafe business in Japan has been shrinking and stood at 1.052 trillion yen (US$8.61 billion) in 2006, down 5 percent from the previous year.

Still, sales at specialty coffee shops like Starbucks have soared. The Seattle-based coffee chain, which launched in Japan in 1997, has almost 700 stores across the country and saw sales jump 16 percent last year to 78.9 billion yen (US$646 million).

Crazy Coffee Mugs

I found this section of a website that archives tons to wacky mugs. This one stood out to me. It's called a Lap Mug.
Lap Mug
It is designed for the table but people increasingly eat and drink around the house. The lap mug is for indulging on the sofa with a wedge for nestling in your lap.

Here's the link to that archive thing.
