Ah yes, the sheesha. Here in Bahrain it's common to find Sheesha restaurants, and we like them so we went out and bought our own hooka, cause they are pretty cheap. Sheesha to those that don't know, is flavored tobacco. It can some in all kinds of flavor, from strawberry to melon to mint. It gives you a little buzz that lasts for only a short time. But, it's good to relax with--kick back and smoke some sheesha. It's not like weed, where you get a prolonged buzz, get the munchies, etc and it's not like cigarettes although I'm not a smoker of either so maybe it is. I don't know. Anyway, you have to put hot coals on the top, and this is how you get the charcoal started. We made the mistake of firing this up inside for the first time. I quickly moved that bad boy outside. It was like the 3 stooges trying to set this hooka up too, because we had NO idea what we were doing. They do it for you in the restaurants...
