Abstaining? No not really but I find that
the allure of the pipe did not embrace me.
Really, what does one do in a city where there are no pubs, clubs or wanky little wine bars? We all love that seduction of the liqour and the environment in which we are seduced... Here there is no such opportunity so, being the intrepid, exciting adventurers that great pioneers are made of, we make forays into Kuwait to find what might be lurking....
A few decided to head over to the Sheesha cafe... straight along a few blocks from where we live in Hawally 5. It had been a full on day- gym and the increased work I am doing as I train for my summer adventure and then having to head out to The Avenues- a massive hugely big and rather busy shopping mall where everyone is in pursuit of consumer happiness. I find it a monument to greed but get caught up in it when I have to buy something... otherwise I try to avoid these places.
Later that night , we went. Starving , I was... really starving but found that this was not my place of divine dining.
It was a place to hangout, smoke a few pipes.... whatever kind of sheesha was on the menu.... It is a most elegant way to bring the smoke to your alveoli and smells divine ! 
Good conversation, prettty ordinary food, pomegranate juice and sheesha! What more is wanted on a Friday night!
