Street chaxi Taiwan
If you are thinking that gong fu tea in Taiwan involves beautiful setups and teaware think again - this is how people actually have their tea here! Took this shot down south in Tainan on the street. You can see lots of variations of this topic in many corners of the country.

Cool very interesting. Hey, what is that large shinny metal dome thing on the far left with a kettle hovering ontop?

Because it is a part of their daily life, they do not need to pay attention too much?
