Paris/Jakarta (24/7 – 28.57). “Coffee is the common man’s gold, and like gold, it brings to every person the feeling of luxury and nobility.” – Sheik-Abd-al-Kadir
A friend recently opened a coffee shop is called after its owner, Muteeya. Though modest, it embodies the burgeoning coffee culture found in Paris, London, the US, and now Jakarta. The coffee is steaming hot, and soft tunes fill the air.
Outside, rain pounds against the window, streaking down and forming small puddles on the street. As I gaze through the glass blurred by water, I take a sip of my warm coffee, savouring its rich flavour, and let my thoughts drift away.
Nestled away in the back corner behind the entrance lobby the coffee shop enjoys a quiet life of its own.
It seems that the old saying hold true. “Coffee is the answer to all problems.” Brown with milk and smelling the shop with a fresh pastry all troubles wait to be dealt later.
