But Howard wanted more people to enjoy what he had made. so he dicided to make a starbucks in japan. When he proposed this idea a few weeks later a man came in telling why building a Starbucks in Japan was not a good idea. He sad people in japan don't drink in the streets, that Starbucks no smoking policy would not work out in Japan because of all the smokers. Eating or drinking out side was not done in Japan. but Howard didn't listen, he went with his gut feeling instead.
