Considering that every country has its own culture, own way of doing things, i'd like to know a bit more of how are the chill-out tents in raves and events in your country.
Detailed explanations would be a heavenly pleasure, but i know it would be very tiring. So if you know something different that's part of the chill-out culture in your land, please write it down and share it with us!
Beginning with my own country: Here in Brazil chill-out tents aren't very evolved. The raving culture here is basically focused on the dance floor, and great majority of the parties don't care much for ambient tunes, unfortunately. Poor equipment, poor decoration, small and somewhat unconfortable places are often found. Some don't even make those tents. That's a pity, because it has lots of potential. Paradisiac places, direct contact with nature, some very open minded ravers... Some parties are now reformulating the "idea behind a party" and investing a bit more in ambient tents.
Musically, it's very diverse. Ranging from bossa nova to highly psychedelic tribal tunes, and then going to mantras, dub and relaxed ambient... every dj has his very own style. That's a nice point, maybe the most positive.
Chill-out tents are commonly seen as places to "sleep a bit" when you're tired of dancing. Other big part see the tents as places to chat, relax, trip and enjoy the moments and the music.
Favourite time to stay there are at night after the sunset, till 1-2am, in festivals; and 11am-1pm in one-day-parties.
Decorations are based in dreamcatchers, fluorescent and psychedelic paintings, wooden materials and other small objects. There's always a colorful mushroom here or there 
Also, some very rare parties make some psychedelic projections at night.
Basically, that's it.
And how's the chill-out culture in your country?
