Cool Starbucks Coffee Shop !

Oh this is such a grand looking Starbucks! If anyone has any idea where to find it, let me know because I need to go. I am really interested in whether they built an ancient Chinese themed Starbucks to fit into its surroundings or if they decided to leave the original foundations of the building alone. And I wonder if the interior design of the building matches the exterior. And am I the only one who finds it slightly strange that it looks so clean and put together on the outside?

Whenever I go traveling, these are the kinds of things I am looking for. Interesting little shops, restaurants or experiences that I won`t be able to find back at home. Although scenic views are very important: the beaches, the mountains, the waterfalls.. After I see a few of them, I start to forget what made each body of water, each mound of rock, different from the last. Of course, there`s nothing wrong with seeing the famous wonders of the world while I look for the unknown ones.. But the only thing we really do with the tower of Pisa is look at it or take a photo with it. I also like learning experiences, so I am the nerd that will enjoy historical tours and museums. It is sometimes surprising how little shopping I prefer to do when away from home and the States (where everything is similar to home). I especially find malls in North America to be designed similarly to each other. Maybe it will be difficult to find a traveling partner at this rate, someone who is also interested in the little bits and pieces?
