You made the first mistake - you stopped to talk to a person, on the street, whose taken an interest on "what your up to today" ??!!

GP, where in Europe are you from? Spain?

Is that why your English is so bad?

Funny, I heard the same story from 5 or 6 friends of mine, the same thing happened to them when they first arrived in China. Don't feel so bad, one of my friends had to pay something like 380 kuai.
HOW do men fall for this? And as for the girls, scamming people for tea? sick sick sick...

Let me get the story straight...

The menu said 50 kuai per cup.
You ordered two cups.
The bill came out to 100.
You are wondering if you were somehow duped.

Did I miss something?

nevermind.

> Next time it happens I'm gonna say "hey let's go to Starbucks and McDonalds, order five of the most expensive things on the menu, and you can pay for it 'cause I'm a guest in your oh so beautiful country!"

Yeah, good one Soggybiscuit.

It seems like your the imboclile who can't read proper English buddy

Don't worry, your will get used to it and learn it step by step.

First time in China: Same situation to me: Pot tea for 150, sitting on a table 100, small boal of peanuts, 150, coke 50. And after that she asked me to give her some money for shopping because she forgot money at home.haha.

Similar situation: Lady or music bar: You will pay for everything. Entering the room, switch on the KTV, for not ordered fruits, drinks for hell of money, and the best, when you don't take care, they put some empty bottles or glasses of drinks in the room and you have to pay as well. My resume after 30 minutes, one beer, one plate of water melon, three chinese songs in the TV, two girls, no action and fun at all: 1300 RMB
And I was happy to pay after three guys forced me into a seperate room and made it clear to me that I have to pay.

I hate China for this, but finaly it's always your own mistake. Just don't trust anybody who is talking to you and want to have something from you (language exchange, walk, tea, money, asking for way...)

So take care everywhere, you will be cheated for everything! Taxis (fixed prices), markets (real price times 15), street sellers (wrong scales for fruits...), landlords (not real landlords, renovations...), restaurants (booking some more dishes)...

But finaly i love China, have fun!

For the jaw dropping amount of 14 bucks this guy paid, maybe, just maybe, he simply took a girl out for a cup of tea in a "fancy tea room" but was too f*&^ing cheap to pay for it.

What was your master plan there, Hef? Were you planning on her buying herself a cup of tea, taking a little walk with you and then pulling on the knee pads?

Go back to wacking off in the shower.

He didn't get "scammed". He's just a cheap idiot without a clue.

It would cost almost that much to have two cups of coffee at Starbucks.

By the way, genius, the word is spelled the following way.....IMBECILE!

I guess that makes you one!

I was in Beijing recently, Wang Fu Jin. Girl asked me about England etc etc and asked if I would like to have tea with her.
She took me to tea house near traffic lights top of shopping street. We went upstairs, she ordered pot of fruit tea, [not even pg tips] then I noticed the tea 100rmb and also the cost of private room 100rmb.
I reminded her she invited me so she could pay the f-ing bill, however i did throw 50rmb at her so she didnt lose complete face. And the tea was sh*t!!! And she was ugly.

Funny people are so easy to be scammed. Just go to wangfujing and these girls team up in pairs and always walk up and want to just start talking. They always say the same things, even if it is different girls, they obviously have been trained into what to say. I never go, no matter how good looking they are, and in the wangfujing case they are usually not that good looking anyway, but I always play with them. Just like others said here, turn the tables on them, I always "f" with them, give them some Chinese, then some English, drag them along then just bail on them when I get bored. How about the mother daughter teams waiting outside of resturants? My daughter is so hungry, have you seen those yet? Both usually look plump and fine, not like I am being cruel, I can tell who is really starving or not. Anyway, like it was said above, no girl that is real is going to fall all over you in the street because you are so hot and handsome, come on guys, wake up!

exactly, but i had an hour to kill so i play the game. for just a few rmb i dont care. its the people who end up in k.t.v getting massaged by 2 girls who are drinking you beer and eating your food who really get ripped off.
if you have to ask the question 'am i being scammed' then you are being scammed!!!
i was in shanghai 4 years ago and went to tea house with my western girlfriend, we paid over 150rmb for pot of tea, no scam just expensive tea!!
just know when to walk away.
