Well, it's pretty interesting to be sitting in a tea house in Shanghai being served by a guy who obviously knows more English than he's letting on, then calling him out when he wants 100 yuan for 3 tea sets because he wants to fuck with the foreigners.

Honestly, though. Potential scams aside. Do it if you ever get the chance. Don't think about how you'll have to move shit around. Just jump on it. You'll fucking love it. I went to a lot of smaller places that only had one relatively large table. People would walk in, pay about a dollar and just drink tea non stop. And the first thing they do when they sit down is offer everyone a cigarette. It's really communal, and everyone talks. It was really awesome.
