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?
