‘You like teaaa?’ the womans voice immediatly cut through the barage of sales pitches that become an everyday part of travelling through south east asia. From the ‘Hello Misters!’ in Sumatra, to the ‘You need transport?’s in Bali, I was immediately bemused by this old woman standing at the entrance of dark narrow laneway entrance, in this historic part of Malaysia.
‘I show you my tea house. Yes, you come in relax, I show you special chinese tea!’
It was about six in the evening, and we hadnt had a drink in 2 hours. The heat of the day although starting to die off, still left small sweat patches soaking through our t-shirts. I like tea, and my british companion certainly did. Her small figure, and friendly nature enchanted us, and so when the offer of a chance to re-hydrate presented itself, we didnt take much more convincing than that.
