Istanbul memory

Ahhhhh, the good life....playing tavli/backgammon and smoking the shishah under the ancient city walls in Café Sur, near Gulhane Park.
The son of the owner and me playing!!
Wont tell you the score...;-)))

BTW I dont smoke cigarettes........:-)))
only occasional waterpipe! love it!!


Waterpipe is lovely, its relaxing, you have to take your time to smoke it, its not something you do in 10 min,
You sit at least for 1 hr with a waterpipe, you share the pipe with the company you are with, but you can also smoke a pipe alone. I dont smoke one alone.
It doesnt hurt in your throat like even one ciggie would do for me, it doesnt stink like ciggies......
And for me its very occasional, not something I do on your own either, here sometimes I smoke with my daughter or son, outside!!!
Sitting on a long summer evening in the sun in my garden, ....chatting away with pipe and a herbal tea!! (no alcohol!!)

you should give it a go sometime.......:-))))

Well, that was my teaching of the way of the waterpipe
(Specially for baba.eduard;-))
