- A bar where heartbroken people can cry as they drown
their sorrows is proving a big success in eastern China.
-
- It even provides onions and red peppers for those who
need help bursting into tears, the China Daily reported. The Nanjing bar
charges C$8.45 an hour, on top of the charge for drinks, for customers
to cry into their beer. Tissues and menthol drops are also provided.
-
- Bartenders play sad music and dolls are available for
customers to throw around or beat while they vent their anger at a broken
relationship. The owner, Luo Jun, used to run a marriage agency only to
discover that many of his clients had an immense desire to cry but could
not find the oppoortunity - the idea for the bar was born.
-
- So is Vancouver ready for a bar called Tears, where everybody
not only knows your name but your sad story as well?
-
- Bruce McGregor, the general manager of Jesters and Smiley
O'Neal's in downtown Vancovuer does not think so.
-
- "We have some who come in to cry in their beer but
they will only pay the $4.75 for the pint," he said. "I don't
think we are ready for a Cry Bar here yet," he said.
