This holiday was popular among the Celts population of 2 countries: Ireland and Great Britain. In the 19th century, immigrants from these countries brought it to North- America. And other countries borrowed it only in the 20th century.

Fortunately, I don’t know a single person, that doesn’t like tea! people spent hours each day drinking tea. Nowadays, it is not right to interpret the meaning of “Tea time” only to drinking of tea, it became a tradition, a holly rite. We drink tea in the middle of working day, at home, with friends, at cafes. Because there is no other drink, that can make us feel more relax and comfortable in the middle of big city hustle-bustle. A cup of hot tea can calm down your soul un any situation, helps to return balance and good mood. People drink tea for various reasons, some are fond of it, for some it is a perfect excuse to meet with friends and spent some time with them. And some countries, like: Russia, Japan, China still has tea ceremonies. I like Russian tea ceremony, as a rule, they drink tea from special pots, called samovar or sometimes in order for tea not to cool down, the Russians can put a special fabrics doll on it. Also, while talking about Russian tea ceremony we can name a special double-teapot, one serves a tea-packet. Tea is put there and another is a some kind of reservoir. As a rule, the Russians prefer black strong tea to green tea, they drink it with such a herb, as mint.

Recently there were named best places for tea-drinking. Namely, The Dorchester Hotel got Top London Afternoon Tea Award 2007 as one of the most appropriate places for tea-drinking. Why? There were a lot of other perfect hotels, cafes etc. But, the Dorchester Hotel has incredibly high standards multiplied by excellent food and a great variety of teas. Moreover, tea drinking is a rite here, everything is served in a perfect way. Each day The Hotel is full to capacity while afternoon tea-time. Most of people like their atmosphere of piece and calmness, here you seem far away from the problems of world that is situated beyond the walls of this hotel. Slow and pleasant music of piano tunes you onto everlasting rest, you sink in a fluffy sofa and forget about everything, here you can have a table-talk with friends and just enjoy delicious tea.

Top ten the most romantic cities

London Parliament and Big Ben, UK Love and passion… Some people don’t even dare to presuppose how important these two feelings are.Prague St.vitus cathedral

They don’t necessarily suppose each other, love is devotion, a commitment, a long-term felling, and that can make you happy even when there are no reasons to be happy. And passion - it is a ghost with love face. It is only physical love; it is a strong attraction…

I remember a situation. When I was only 15 years old, I used to fell in love with people, whom I didn’t know at all, I mean his name and appearance was the only knowledge of him. Now, it sounds ridiculous and I am glad, that today my eyes are opened wide and I exactly know how to define these to feelings and not to confuse them. But, there some situations, when you just want to lose your head from love, flirt, infatuation, to feel yourself happy and free, careless and safe and to find out – everything is possible, this feeling you can obtain visiting the following cities:

VENICE

Believe nothing can be compared with its silent sombre and at the same time so attractive waters, they are seducing you to join the invisible dance, unspoken mysteries, to become a part of their exuberant symphony. Its Canals unites the present and the past and open the doors into the future. Visit this unsurpassed place, enjoy the peace of its Canals, look at gondolas with your own eyes, and walk by the paths of ancient palazzo. Drink a cup of hot tea or cappuccino together with pigeons in Piazza San Marco or just meet a nice stranger and kiss with him on the Bridge of Sighs. Feel the atmosphere of love!

RABAT (the capital of Morocco)

The lonely wall in Morocco Marrakesh, Marokko, Mekka …Just listen to these words, they sound like a melody! Spices, jewellery, markets, scurrying about people, hot debates, half-closed faces…. Oh, I love it! East cities, what can be better! It a completely another world, full of dangers and undiscovered events, luxurious hotels and rich sheikhs, but aware, they can steal you and make a 5th wife! These people, they are dancing and singing, cooking and welcoming guests, it is to thrilling to cognize them, their culture, traditions and lifestyle! Passion can be perceived at each part of this city!

PARIS

What can be said about Paris that is still unknown to public? A lot treat it as the world’s most romantic city. Love is an integral part of it. Each brick, each person, each smile radiates it. The Eiffel Tower, it is especially beautiful in the sunset hours, you can make photos near it, touch it or just drink champagne in front of it and understand, that you are really happy. May be you will meet a newly married couple, and who knows, one day you can visit this city together with your own husband!

NEW YORK

Eiffel Tower in the fall As for me, at the first sight, it hardly can be called a romantic city, but after a thorough investigation it turns out, that a picnic in the Central Park is a rather good pastime, such cosy event among the huge mega polis. It is so touching! Than you can do shopping and while doing this meet a handsome stranger or just a beautiful liar, who will make you crazy and love, for sure, will come to your heart and soul and make them happy too!

LONDON

Sometimes it seems to me, that this city is a centre of everything: life, traditions, experience and future.

Traditionally, it is supposed, that London is grey and uncomfortable, big and alien. It is so easy to get lost in it, to merge with this city and forget who you are. So many sightseeing, so many lonely people, but usually, under cloud of night, they can gather together and spend some time while talking to each other, exchanging news and information, letting cat out of the bag and usual to England cup of tea with milk unites them and warms their souls up.

PRAGUE

Dubrovnik - Croatia Lose yourself in the beauty of this ancient town. Prague is famous for its bridges, there are a great number of them, block stone streets and roads, medieval architecture and comfortable cafes. Sometimes, it looks like a small Venice. It has a well-known watch with gnomes and the Charles Bridge, where you can meet a Prince on the white horse and he will steal you and take to his Palace. Here, you will understand – love, passion and romantic attitude is still alive!

SAINT PETERSBURG

It is a great, glorious and marvellous Russian city. It is so romantic to stay there, especially, when the nights are white and the bridges are separated. You can meet a sunset at the shore of Niva-river and enjoy the peace and calmness. Various museums and art galleries, as well as castles and palaces are waiting for you, to share their history with such a thankful and attentive visitor! Don’t keep them waiting!

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires is an incredible combination of Latin America’s Culture and European cloaked in a European intelligence and soft charm. The whole Argentine is a tango country, people are dancing everywhere. Santorini, Greece This dance is first of all a passion, love, infatuation. It is full of unexpressed desire, invisible hints and body language. It is no better place, to feel yourself beloved and to get acquainted with a sexy stranger, who is dancing next to you!

DUBROVNIK, Croatia

Adriatic has many “pearls”, but the city of Dubrovnik is the most significant. It can compete even with the acknowledged romantic cities, such as Paris and Venice. It is situated in Croatia and has a status and fame of the coastal resort. Blue, clear waters of Adriatic, limestone precipices and attractive old marble-paved streets together with antique churches, squares and castles leaves no chance to withstand their beauty. Be sure, even if romantic is an empty sound for you, this city will make you change your mind!

SANTORINI, Greece

Santorini is the only island in this list. An Island, whenever you will look, there will be blue, clear waters, black-sand beaches and coastal villages. Here you can remember about the lost city – Atlantis, have a look at incredible sights of the volcanic eruption, drink exotic cocktails and enjoy life as it is!
