How many Starbucks in how many countries?

It's a US thing...

But the magic coffee bean shop is expanding!

Who is your true neighbour?

Enlarge this to see an amazing map! Here you can see what people you are the closest to. Or the further away from!

Migration of Man

This is truly amazing. The fact that Adam & Eve were born on the border of Kenya and Ethiopia and from there migrated throughout the world really astonishes me. Especially passing the Bering strait in order to migrate to the Americas. What really really really leaves me questioned is. What drove them ? Why did they migrate? Why wander through really difficult lands? Is this one of the defining factors of the human race? Our curiosity, our need to explore new territory (not just land)?

Amazing!

But who produces the coffee?

Do the producing countries match the consuming (Starbuck) countries?

I guess Starbuck is more expansive than the coffee bean itself!

Coffee is a global thing!

In case you didn't know!

The map shows what countries Starbucks are in. But it doesn't show the amount of shops in the countries. Such a map would be interesting, and I will supply it shortly!

Nevertheless interesting map:-)

The population of the world in year 1!

Countries sized according to world population in year 1 a.d.

Back then the total population is estimated to have been around 230 million people. And more than 2/3 of them lived on the Asian continent.

Kind of amazing!

The world

Waaaay before globalization was an issue for the commen people.
