Hi Everyone!

Right now in America, the entire country is being overly flooded with one of the best flavors in existence, especially for the Fall time, PUMPKIN SPICE!! It's something I look forward to yearly, and Fall is by far my favorite season of the year. Therefore, I naturally have been looking forward to September because it marks official pumpkin spice season. One of my favorite seasonal drinks is Starbucks' famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Me being me, I excitedly drove myself 45 minutes to the nearest Starbucks because, even though that far of a haul is annoying for someone who is used to having the farthest Starbucks right down the street (even when I lived in Tokyo), that wonderful drink is worth it; however, when I get all the way to Niihama's Aeon mall I walk into Starbucks to find that they weren't selling it. I was sad, but figured that it must not be released in Japan until later in the Fall. (They had them at the Starbucks in Tokyo two Septembers ago.) When I asked what date they would be getting them, I was shocked and horrified to find that they aren't getting them at all. AT ALL!!!!! This is Starbucks' best selling drink of all time, and they decide not to sell them here!? Needless to say, I am distraught. I know Japan isn't on the pumpkin spice kick like America is, so I can't find it here anywhere, but I at least expected it to be at Starbucks; it's seriously tradition for their company. Long story short, I'm very sad and this Fall just doesn't feel like Fall now. Maybe I'll get lucky next year....
