スタバカ日誌 - Gentleman Quality of Last Samurai -

It was a sunny, hot afternoon when a white gentleman dropped into a chair next to me at a Starbucks in Tokyo. With an English newspaper and a tumbler, he looked a frequently visiting customer.

For many Starbucks goers, it's not unusual to reserve a seat first and then to order drinks at a cashier. But, this man was different. He never went to a cashier to have his tumbler filled with coffee. He never sipped it, either. Of course not. Because his tumbler was EMPTY. I bet he had a wonderful reading time at the air-conditioned store with coffee aroma.

According to a Japanese old saying, Samurai uses a toothpick, despite his poverty and hunger, to show as if he is rich enough to afford a sumptuous banquet. He didn't look like Tom Cruise, though. I wonder whether his wallet was as empty as the tumbler.

Are you bold enough to try this like him?
