that makes sense. sheesha definetly feels healthier than cigarettes. sure tastes better too.

yeah man i got tongs. but as soon as that coal hits the rug, your getting a burn spot even if you pick it up in 2 seconds my hooka was always getting knocked over by my cat, or a friend who never smoked a hooka before would yank too hard on the tube. around my couch there were like 20 burn spots, it was pretty funny.

btw, we have a sheesha smoking joint walking distance from my house. its a very hip place.
ive always enjoyed a hooka yanking real hard on my tube.

thanks Meedo....will definitely let u and Narafa know before i come down....i wana try the "other" flavas you are talking abt....hehehe!!!

as for the dangers of sheesha vs cigarettes.....i slowed down on my puffing after i read in the papers that an hour of smoking sheesha is the same as a full pack.......dont know how true it is, but then again, its not everyday we sit by the Nile and smoke free sheesha (compliments of Meedo!!) and sip mint tea, right?

so cmooon, James, Merlin and the rest of the Dream Team and FF family.....what do you guys think about having a PF workshop/vacation in Sharm El-Sheikh??

and Meedo and Narafa....cmon u guys, get some pics of the resorts and Egyptian food to entice our Western brothers-in-forex

the invite to Dubai is still open to you all, including the Egyptian boyz!!!

cheers ppl,

Well, sheesha is defenitely heavier than cigarettes. I am not sure if the tip you wrote here is correct. Sheesha equivalent to a full pack of cigarettes, I don't think so, because sometimes people smoke lots of sheesha and they never feel like they smoked several packs

Thanks,

hahahaha.......Meedo bro, you and Narafa oughta organize a get-together in Egypt for the rest of us once the pf is up and running and we are all in the black
At that rate of USD vs Egy Pound, can we live like kings for a few days, u think? Sipping mint tea and smoking a double-apple sheesha by the Nile was what i was going for.....hehehehe.....leme know if that works
Hey longhorn, it is true that the rate of USD vs EGP looks lucrative and encouraging, but let me tell you something, the inflation rate here in Egypt doesn't look good, that's why it's better to keep funds in USD and Euros instead of EGP. Although the EGP is stable right now vs the other foreign currencies, but volatility occurs, and when it does, prices go insane and everything costs much than before.

To all westerners, if you work for your company here in Egypt and still score your normal salary as if you are still working in the US or Europe you will be very very happy. A $3k per month salary is actually more than enough to live an excellent life here in Cairo with lots of savings even

Just FYI, here are some prices of consumer goods here in Egypt:

1- Gasoline - Octane 90: 17 cents per litre (52 cents per gallon almost)
2- Gasoline - Octane 92: 25 cents per litre (75 cents per gallon almost)
3- Gasoline - Octane 95 (The best gasoline available in the country): 30 cents per litre (90 cents per gallon almost)
4- A coke can (330 ml): 30 cents
5- A bottle of Coke (2 Litres): $1
6- A pack of 100 tea bags: $3
7- 1 Kilogram of sugar: 35 cents
8- An average meal at a fast food chain: $3-$4
9- An average meal at a well established restaurant: $7-$10
10- The average cinema ticket: $2.60
11- Parking your car in a parking area in downtown for 5 hours: $1-$2
12- The average over-speeding ticket : $86-$100

I think this enough, use your imagination for the rest of the goods


Thanks,

Nader

And oh yes of course, everyone is invited as meedo said. There are lots of nice, good and fun things that can be done here, it would be a very good and nice experience for anyone who wish to come, not just to smoke sheesha and inhale There's more in life than inhaling sheesha.....lol.....

And to show the generousity of the Arabs, I am extending the offer which meedo made, the sheesha on the nile shall be on him, while actual sailing in the Nile will be on me.

Thanks,

Nader

i started trading about twenty years ago. i was in the middle of a lucid dream and i was told that in twenty years i was going to meet a guy named dialist. i was told that even though he would be a relative new trader that he was going to be really good and i should hitch my wagon to his horse. well here i am and i am all hitched up. yeeehawww.
Why, thank you Jim. But I should warn you that my horse is quite the thoroughbred. If that buckboard of yours doesn't have seatbelts, you'd best hang on tight!

To start forex trading it’s not so easy. A newbie should spend a good amount of time to learn foreign exchange trading first. At least they have to use couple of demo accounts to understand what is going on here in the market, how they can set up a trade, this way they also can find out what broker they need to trade with and gain some practical knowledge and a bit experience about trading.

Not only heavier than cigarettes but it is highly contagious as well because we smoke cigarette alone but do share seesha with other so chance to attract more diseases from others.
