Smoke a waterpipe
It's common practice in Lebanon to see people with pipes on the corniche, beaches in restaurants etc. When smoking them back home in london, people always look at them funnily like we're smoking bongs or something.The waterpipe, argileh (are-geel-ley) or shisha pipe is a great way to wind down. usually smoked after food as it apparently aids digestion. It's not as bad as regular smoking and you'll realise this when you try it because the water filters out most of the impurities. The smoke is smooth and not harsh like cigarettes (not that i smoke) but even if it's just to try something new give it a go.The pipes can vary in size shape and decoration and a bigger pipe doesn't necessarily mean a better pipe. I have 4 at home all different all with good points and bad points but a little tip is not to buy a pipe to take home from the downtown area as they're expensive and generally not that...
