The Nargile or "Hookah"?

Details are a bit scant at the moment, but I am very excited to say that I will be going to a conference in roughly a week and that in addition to the research conference itself... which should be enjoyable, I believe that there is a nargile or hookah coffeehouse there. In addition, from what I have heard, it is an old-world, traditional nargile/hookah coffee house. I am terribly excited.

The nargile (sometimes called a "hookah" or a "hubble-bubble") is a large water-pipe that has been a traditional smoking device for gentlemen in India and the Middle-East for centuries. The pipe tobacco used in the nargile is exceptionally strong, powerful, and beautiful.

I shall hopefully know more details by Monday or Tuesday if I am correct in that there is a nargile coffeehouse in the area I am traveling to or if it is simply a pipe dream. If it is true, you can bet that this grey-bearded fellow will be parking himself in that hookah house for a few hours each evening during his stay!

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
