There I had a very nice ceremony and some tea but for each of the cup that we were drinking, they charge me almost between 3 and 8 Euros per cup... more the tea that I had at the end in a nice box... At the end I was obliged to pay a very high amount of money, As I traveled all the last day and as I was not really sure of the exchange rate: I paid ... As soon as I went out side, I realized that it was a tourist trap.... when I return the tea house was closed and I had only 30 min to go to my bus so no time for the police
The good thing in this trap is that I've really drunk very good tea and with a lot of explanation behind
30 minutes latter I was in the bus for almost 24 hours, they just put 4 rows of bed on 2 level and you get a night for long distance trip.
