Closing Of Six Hookah Bar(s)


Recommended Posts

I'm pissed! About one or twice a month I'm allowed off base to go into Kuwait City to 'play'. Among the menu of places to visit is a very low end mall (Al Souk Mall aka. City Center Mall). The mall has no redeeming value at all, and is nothing more than a collection of middle eastern type "dollar general" stores; Not to mention the whole mall is pink (I’m serious).

But sitting outside this mall is a two story strip that houses 6 Shisha bars. And 1 Shisha Supply store. The bars pretty much all have a differnant appeal. One is upper end with leather couches and geared towards business men, one is more of a gaming/nerd type bar, my favorite (Havana Café) is kinda gritty with giant screen TV's on each end playing middle eastern daytime TV and a hip laid back crowd. (If I was in the US I would think it was a gay bar). It had a real good vibe to it, the staff was friendly and there was always a Pakistani man coming around offering hot coals. The only problem is I had to limit my shisha to Apple, because that is all the server could understand. (note to self: learn the Arabic word for Apricot).



Well, to my horror I made this journey yesterday only to find that all the bars had been closed and taped over as though a murder scene had happened.



From what I understand, this is only temporary. It seems that a couple of the bars had young Philipino women working in them (which culturally is a NO-NO).



Well..hopefully in a few weeks they well open back up.



But for those posting questions on what to have in your bars, I do not suggest Philipino hookers.

Dammit, you guys dont like that idea. I already picked some up, they are at my house right now ready for work. blink.gif

HAHAH that is funny as hell though, you should definitly learn something other than Apple. Although, I hate apple so I would be on top of that as quick as possible.

well there ya go. Unless Tarik is being sneaky and you are going to call the server something you really dont want to. But I doubt it.

Let's just hope it isn't something like "You're a sexy man, would you like to come back to base with me?"


That might be taken the wrong way.



Lol I doubt Tarik would pull that but Mish Mish to me just sounds like something you would say to a girl.

"Hey, cutie wanna mish mish?"

...I'll let you know if I get arrested, a 'date' or kicked out of the military by using the term "Mish Mish"..



you forgot to add that you might get a apricot hookah if you say mish mish .. laugh.gif

But then that wouldn't really be interesting tongue.gif

Going and getting apricot... cool

Going for hookah and walking out with a guy, no matter which way you swing, is a great story XD Edited by Pieces

Well..I tried to order "mish mish" .. I think I ended up with grape. I guess it was my translation.

Ya know whats cool. I all the bars they have over here the hose and the pipe are color coded to match a flavor...so the hose you use only pumps one flavor. Is this common in US bars?
