Rediscover a simpler time at "Sorrow and Joyful Times" Cultural Teahouse

     If "busyness, aimlessness and confusion" typify your life as you go about with your work or education, then you should give yourself a half-day break and come to "Sorrow and Joyful Times" Teahouse. Pick a seat by the window in this small space, in a nearly-80-year-old Japanese-style house and relax with a cup of "Bi Lo Tsun" tea and some snacks. The owner, Mr. Wu, grew up in this house. Sixteen years ago when he was in school, he often spent his time here talking with his friends over a pot of tea; it was then that he made the promise to open up a teahouse here. The result is a homey Japanese-style house with a friendly atmosphere. Many of the patrons have become good friends with the owner. The place, featuring wonderful teas, simple meals and antique furnishings and artwork, is great for intimate gatherings. Those who suffer from insomnia after drinking tea can try the "Stunning Osmanthus Honey"--you'll like it.
