ok so i just got approached by 2 lovely looking girls in people square.
They started talking to me, of course being in China you get this a lot so i just had a chat with them, they said they were going to a tea ceremony and asked if i wanted to come along.
So off we went into a shop that looked like a massage shop, i started to think something was up.
The girls were really really nice and spoke good english so i wasnt complaining.
Basically we sat down in a room and this women came in and showed us a tea ceremony where we would taste different types of tea. you only have a tiny glass of each tea, i saw prices on the jars, they ranged from 50 yuan per 50g all the way up to 120 yuan per 50g
I didnt really care much i was going to pay that much anyway so i just went along with it and it lasted about 1 hour.
Was a really good time, the teas were lovely and the two girls either side of me was even better.
Then the bill come...........
1560 yuan.
Then i got offered if i wanted to buy any tea, ber in mind they were mostly 80 yuan each. This boosted the bill up to 1800 yuan
I knew something like this was going to happen but felt pretty confident in the fact that they had invited me and i didnt even have a wallet on me (just a security pouch round my waist) so i knew i was in control of the situation.
at this point i just laughed and said 'im not paying that, i simply dont have the money'
the girls now changed a bit and started asking if we could split the price or if i had a credit card to pay for the bill, i was just laughing and saying no. They kept being a bit more persistent and asking me if i had uk pounds or us dollars
In the end the 2 girls didnt buy any tea, at first they were going to buy some when i was asking how much is it (probably to make me pay for it).
So ye £150 to taste 6 little cups of tea screams a scam to me.
Dont take any cr*p off them, they may be pretty but just be stern and they soon shut up.
I paid 50 yuan towards the 1500 cost, i thought an hour with 2 pretty girls and tasting some genuinely tasty tea was probably worth 50yuan
so has anyone had this happen to them as well???
is it a scam or am i just a tight a$$
