Dear Group

I thought that it would be a good idea to set up a blog for the ICFE preparation course and I welcome relevant contributions that will help the group to share information and to communicate in English on a daily basis.

Using this blog should also cut down on the amount of paper content during the course!

If you have any problems using this blog please let me know.

Starbucks coffee and China

A big week of announcements for Starbucks as it continues to emerge from the global economic downturn.  It has announced plans to accelerate its store opening programme, with 400 new stores outside the USA alone.  And it has also decided, for the first time, to start growing its own coffee beans, as a way of supporting its ambitious growth plans in China.
  Here is a link to an article in the Independent which explains the background to the move back towards international store expansion.
