I love coffee.
I have a weird name.
And I live in Singapore and travel regularly in Southeast Asia.
That’s a recipe for some serious Starbucks barista mixups!
Herewith, a collection of misspellings of my name from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and more locations over the last year.

Life would be so boring if my name were James or John.
