The
Scoop In Helsinki
~ by Ian Blaymires
| Having
lived in Vancouver in the 90's and taken the many compulsory
pilgrimages to Seattle that proximity to that bean mecca
requires, I felt smugly complacent on a recent trip to Helsinki.
The Finns claim it is the coffee drinking capital of Europe,
if not the world, and I decided to allow them their fifteen
minutes of fame safe in the knowledge that I, of course,
knew better. Surely this Baltic backwater could not challenge
the true giants like France, Italy, Brazil or the Pacific
Northwest! I was in for a shock. |

Korea
In Suspension
~
by Taran R. Grey
| A
precocious blend of the finest tanker bilge with a luminous
hint of boat gas. Fuckit. It's coffee. It's sometime after
clear thinking, but before 5:00 am. I just got back into
South Korea from a day drip to Osaka following my first
Korean deportation just in time to make my second arrest.
Five hour interrogation in a Chunchon cop shop. I did alright.
I saw the coffee cup on the sign. It glowed like the Grail. |

Big
Decision
~ by Diane Parsons
| I'll
give myself until the end of a cup of coffee to decide whether
or not to marry Jay. I've spent a week looking at the pros
and cons, I'm tired of this indecision and perhaps applying
a deadline will help. |
