Hey Massassi,

So, a few days ago I've been introduced to this Asian tea house. Very Turkish-esque (though the place is called "Club Sirius"), where you lie down on pillows, ask for tea, there's this interesting music playing - a mix of reggae and techno, very weird. You can even lie under the ceiling, they have these little "second floors" built there - air's really warm, atmosphere's ABSOLUTELY relaxed.

And the point of this thread - it's TOO relaxed.

Both times I've been there (one time with 3 chicks, the other one with another one), we all acted like we smoked a joint or two. Talked about messed up things, laughted at no reason, etc. I mean, I recall me and my friend talking for 15 or 30 minutes about zebra-striped squirrels with golden balls. And laughing like maniacs. Word.

And then she looked at her watch and in full seriousness said that time goes backwards.

So, I'm wandering - is it something in the tea, music, or the incense in the air? Because our minds were DEFINETLY *way* too relaxed. I also have to note that once we left, we came back to normal.

Anyone been to a place like this?

Oh, also gotta note - both experiences RULED.

You're gonna die.

WTF?

music is almost certainly full of drugs... i use it all the time in the morning to help me get going or during the day when i need a quick fix for energy. What's terrible though is that you eventually build up a tolerance to even the most potent music and have to seek out new designer drugs (i've been listening to remixed circus music and tecno/opera fusion for example).

sounds like a cool hangout though. I used to go to the attic of this place that had been turned into a bar... it was right on a busy street so you could look out the attic windows and watch traffic, people pass under you, etc. They had all neon lights and chains of blue christmas lights, weird paintings and sort of jazzy trance music and they served macaroni and cheese in cold cubes. My friend always said it was like being in purgatory or something, it felt like the middle of the road in reality ( i don't care if it makes sense, good place to make out also).

I like places like that. They're very fun.

Never been to a magical place like that.

There used to be a Moroccan restaurant kinda like that were I used to live. It was really strange, you walked into this office building downtown, and then head down to the basement, and suddenly you are in this beautiful mortician restaurant. They seriously served the best tea in the world there, the food was awesome, you sat on pillows on the floor, and they even had belly dancers.
