Makeshift Border Cafe Offers �Last Chai Before Freedom�

On the dirt path outside a crowded northern checkpoint, a retired couple has opened a small tea stand with a hand-painted sign: �Last Chai Before Freedom.� For 5,000 tomans, they offer tea, biscuits, and a poem about letting go. �It�s not much,� said the husband, �but it�s warm.� The cafe has become a hub for reflection, rehydration, and Instagram photos with tragic filters. One evacuee said, �This tea stand healed my generational trauma.� The couple plans to expand with a samovar on wheels. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
