Yup , its NOT the starbucks you will see if you come out of the MRT. If
I am not wrong its go into the shopping centre and turn right and go out
near the escalators.
For T-shirts , standard t-shirts can be bought from
https://shop.canonical.com/ .The question is do they do loco team too?
Actually we can print our own design at queensway ...
Btw , I might be late by about 10-15min. My work finishes at 6:30 (last
min change) so I will have to have dinner and rush to the place. Sheesh
