I have been thinking of my own café for a long time. It might be in the west village in Manhattan, or inside the Latin district in Paris, or near the canal bank in Amsterdam. I want to make the most unique tea and coffee, in the brink of dawn or late at night, in my most frustrating hours of writing, I would like to share with you what's in my mind, and want to know what you are thinking.

At Maya's café you may think the most unthinkable. Here, books are the desserts and poetry is the wine. Cigar? Dreams are the cigars. From the most delicate jasmine tea to the thick expresso coffee, from Oscar Wilde to Cao Xueqin, you may travel across the continents of cultures, across time and history.

Maya's café also serves as a traveler's Inn. You may speak your mother tongue or any foreign languages, we all understand you. You may post your traveling pictures, stories or any art works. You may post them directly inside the writers’ forum.

On Maya's bookshelves, there are books, poems and short stories that have been collected by Maya.  Periodically, I will collect friends’ works and help them to get published.

 

Maya café accepts donations, please write to her at maya.cafe@yahoo.com or post your messages in the forum.  We like to build links with your websites, please send your banners to me.
                                                                                                                                           

早就梦想经营一个自己的咖啡屋。也许是在曼哈顿的西村，也许是在巴黎的拉丁区，或是在阿姆斯特丹的花街边上，我想配制出最独特的香茗，冲出最浓郁的咖啡，在黄昏和深夜，在一切的凡人俗事之后，和朋友们谈诗论文。

玛雅咖啡屋想为流浪四方的华文、英文和双语作者提供一个文化驿站，在这里饮香茗，品名酒；在这里，茶点是散文，小说，酒是诗歌，雪笳是我们互相激荡的灵感。从清淡的香片到浓如浆汁的意大利咖啡，从王尔德到曹雪芹，不拘一格，不分国界。玛雅咖啡屋特别欢迎有争议和富有挑战性的作品，把那些藏在书柜里没有完成的作品，把你心里想说的奇谈怪论发在这里。

读万卷书，行千里路，走过万水千山，见过惊涛骇浪，才能尽享生命之美。玛雅咖啡屋还希望刊登朋友们的旅行照片以及其他艺术作品，请把图片直接贴在作家咖啡店里。玛雅书架里有我心爱的诗文。我还会定期把朋友们的作品收集起来。
