TA-HWA The Oriental Art & Gift Company — Local services in Amsterdam

The shop has nice and beautiful stuff and I bought already a few times some articles there. The owner was friendly and also one employee from Lithuania, but my last time there, I felt badly treated by one old woman, look like a dutch woman that treated me as a thief or worse, a lady that doesn't know how to welcome the clients. I was on my phone talking with my mother and appreciating the articles from the shop, the lady came to me, asking if i needed help but she was all the time before looking at me probably thinking that Im a thief, I said Im just looking around, because sometimes I dont search nothing specifficaly, but if I like something I can buy, than the lady said in a rude way, you cannot be here in the shop talking on the phone, all the other clients was looking at us, I just said that im a regular customer, that was not nice from her.

A really nice shop for traditional asian products, especially from China, but there are some other items from other countries, too. It has been a blast to be there, if you are interested in Asian tradition and culture, like me.

Most of all I liked the warmhearted staff, which will always give you a helping hand. Thanks again!

So, this will be definately one of my favourite shops now. 5/5 - Keep...
