Hooka

Friend: "Do you want to check out that hooka bar?"
Me: "Ummm... sure.. what is a hooka?"
Friend: "You smoke something fruity.."
Me: "Oh.. ok.. (sounds harmless).

Waitress brings the hooka pipe..

Me: "This does not contain nicotine, right?"
Friend: "Yes, it does."
Me: (Yikes! My lungs are toast!)

Rene and I went to Shawarma Snack Center in Malate last February for shawarma and kebabs. We definitely got more than we bargained for--almost everyone else in the restaurant had a shisha (that's what it's called here)! Fortunately our five year old didn't ask for one, hehehe...

trina!

thanks for stopping by. the place we went to is also an egyptian cafe. we already had dinner so we didn't get a chance to taste their kebabs. i can't remember if they serve shawarmas.

we're making plans to go to egypt, israel, and possibly syria after graduation. maybe i'll get to sample more middle eastern cuisine :).
