    But it's not like a Hookah. You put a coal on top of a Hookah and let it burn. This has a bowl on top and you light it everytime you take a hit.

    I personaly think it's a Hookah but most people say it's a water pipe not a Hookah.

    If a Hookah is defined by a bong with tubes then yes it is. I will need to educate my friends then

    the way you light a bong or pipe or water pipe or hooka does not define it, thats only with the new vaporizer bongs and pipes... a hookah is a bong that has tubes so more then one person can hit it at a time.

    Hookah is derived from the word Hokka which means some sort of a container. In Turkish we call it (the waterpipe) a Nargile because Hokka is a rather general term (like the glass tube you put your writing ink, or the glass bowl that you spit into after chewing tobacco and etc.)

    Herez an Ottoman woman and a coffee shop.

    So cool to see the same tool in different centuries

    Actually they are the same place. The Algeria Street ("Cezayir Sokak" in Turkish)
    The street has a very ironic theme: Everything on it is done in the French way, french cafes, french wines, food, architecture, a french cooking school and etc. But I dont like the place, it's a French wannabes' place.

    Plus, it is placed on Algeria street, the country where they've killed thousands of innocent people and are still exploiting.:mad:
