Caught a cab at the gate of a us airbase in south Korea and asked the guy to take us to Starbucks.
Dude says "no problem", and drives us all the way across the city to an obscure little strip mall with a gigantic sign that said Starbox.
It had a coffee shop, so it worked out, but I still say "starbox" instead of Starbucks decades later :)
