Next door to said cafe a traditional looking Chinese tea shop caught my eye so I stepped in to compare some prices....we kind of ended up sitting down and trying a couple if Chinese teas Puer and Oolong and learning a bit about the difference in using proper clay teapots and cups. (All with the help of google translate as their English is limited and our Chinese is non existing)
The shop owner also owns the adjoining fashion shop and the young shop assistant joins in our little tea lesson...helping with a few English words here and there...of course they are very interested about these foreigners and what we are doing in the country. We find out that the young high school student shop assistant is from a christian family but hasn't been to church for years. She was happy to see the questions on the truth tract, and wanted to know the question about where are the dead and was very surprised to hear the bibles answer as she thought heaven as most do. From what we could understand she reads the bible because she is scared of ghosts and was able to understand the bibles view of what ghosts really are very quickly.
She's keen for us to bring back our Chinese speaking friends so she can learn more and take up our offer of a bible course :-) Although being in her last year of school, working in the shop after school then having tuition at 10pm...she feels she can fit it in!
So some more time with the Chinese cong is on the cards.
So dinner was quite late that night...but yes is was great western food, probably the best we've had since we've been here...so more than one reason to return...
