From the Straights Times website,
"Starbucks
opened its first store in coffee-loving Vietnam on Friday, seeking to
compete with local rivals in a country known for its strong cafe
culture.
Vietnam - the world's second-largest coffee producer - has dozens of
local chains as well as small coffee shops on nearly every street
corner, presenting a major challenge for Starbucks to break into the
crowded market.
Around 100 people queued up in southern Ho Chi Minh City for the
opening, but the US giant's coffee was not to everybody's taste.
"I prefer Vietnamese coffee, which is stronger than Starbucks. As a Vietnamese, I love local coffee," said Nguyen Tien Tam, 35."
