ASW TEA HOUSE — Restaurant in Datong District

If I could give zero, I would. I recently came back from England from study abroad to visit my family and friends. A few days ago (April 13), at around 3:30pm, we went shopping nearby and I was tired. We tried finding a cafe close by so I could rest my legs and this was the closest one. When we went to the counter one of the women asked how many people there were. We said one and I think the waitress assumed it was my mom and not me since my mom was the one asking.

My guess is it was the soft...
