One of the things I've really fallen in love with overseas are tea houses. The basic idea is a small place with a relaxed feel where you can enjoy tea from all around the world. Many tea houses also have Hooka (shisha) pipes (more info) and a range of unique food on offer.

My favourite that I've discovered is U Dvou Šálků http://www.cajiky.cz/udvousalku/ This relaxed cajovna with its few dimly lit rooms and slow service has the perfect atmosphere. You'll find young couples snuggling, foreigners teaching locals English, a group of friends enjoying each others company, and of course the lonely student studying frantically for their upcoming uni exam.

Lately I've become hooked on their range of Japanese green teas, but there's so much to choose from that it's nearly impossible. Last night we tried an interesting mix of tobacco flavours for our sisha; Apple and peach first, then banana and tomato (I think).

I do wonder whether Australian laws would allow such places?

I love my beer! Infact one of the reasons why I moved to Prague is beer. (BTW, how's this for a concept?... beer is cheaper than water in Czech).

I see no problem in having a drink or two a day (it's healthy http://www.physorg.com/news70717597.html ). But I've often thought about not having a drop of alcohol for a longer period of time. My main reasoning has been to save money, but that's not really valid where I am now!

So welcome to Dry July www.dryjuly.com - something I discovered today via a friend. Go dry for a cause! Adults living with Cancer. Now this I think is a great idea and one I WILL particapte in next year (wouldn't be fair to start now and I'm living in the Czech Republic!).

I have supported my friend https://www.dryjuly.com/profiles/alexialangley and I think you should too!

Na zdravi!
