Starbucks has announced it will open its first cafe in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. The problem? Unlike other Asian countries Starbucks has expanded to, Vietnam already has a coffee culture, which is much less expensive than Starbuck's flavored lattes and macchiatos. One cafe owner in Hanoi isn't worried: "Expensive coffee is just for the children of government officials, or people who have lots of money." [AP]
