Visiting a castle Sanssouci - the next stage of our bus trip to Germany and Europe, the guide told us that we will see a real Chinese house without the visa to China and visiting the heavenly realms. Naturally, the first question was: why in the German castle Chinese tea house? And here, China?

When he was tired of fighting, he wanted to calm and organized myself that same "carefree" palace. French tradition had a great influence on the style of the building. That's why it was named by French. He became the summer residence of the warlike king. Frederick would be alone out there and doing your favorite things, such as those not forced to be his special strain. We felt that just in the air of calm and peace. One can only imagine what the loved ones involved in the affairs of the king of the luxury.

The Chinese teahouse he certainly drank tea, probably in the company of some pretty mistress, or rather the favorites. In his time in Germany prevailed fashion to China. At kitaskie tea ceremony, the Chinese tradition of recovery. In short, would be the will of the Germans, and they have used narrow-eyed, as the Chinese. But that's the problem that few have seen in the eyes of a living Chinese. Cause and imagined inhabitants far eastern country typical Europeans. That's sculptures at the teahouse, though dressed up in Chinese clothes, but their faces are like the subjects of Frederick the Great. No difference. If I were Chinese, I'd laugh for a long time.
