Coffeecup, that's a bit like telling peoples fortune from the tea leaves at the bottom of a cup of tea. People in England do that sometimes.

Gosh! The baristas where I live never bother with pictures! I'm glad if the cup hasn't spilled over...

By the way - is it possible to get Soy milk or Rice milk lattes in Russia?

I love latte but I am allergic to normal cows milk. I could not drink it at all in Ukraine, Belarus or Latvia when I was travelling there, terrible for an addict like me! There are nice cafes in all these places, but they do not cater for people with milk allergy.

I am guessing that it's not common in Russia either, but perhaps a few places have it...

Not sure why milk allergy seems to be less common in the Eastern European countries. Or perhaps people there just ignore it, or think it's a silly thing to bother with.

Starbucks usually have soy lattes, wherever they are.... Not sure if they are in Russia (yet), or not... Sweden is Starbucks-free, so far!
