Post: I don't particularly like hookahs

I'm a simple emigrant and I don't particularly like hookahs

But still, for me, as a newcomer in Germany, everything is interesting. Curiosity in this direction was fueled by two things: what Masha was saying—that hookah is banned in Singapore—and that Frankfurt has a huge influx of Turks. The guys are enterprising, so there are plenty of Turkish shops and hairdressers. I figured there would surely be no fewer hookah bars. And I wasn't wrong. One of them, quite a decent one, is located in the building next to my house. The atmosphere there is pleasant, ventilation is very good, polite bartenders, and good music. As soon as we went in, they asked us for documents: smoking hookah here is allowed from 18 years old. Compared to hookah places in Russia, they differ in that you won't have your own lounge, because there is a single sofa and everyone blends into one big table. There is no kitchen, accordingly no food either, but there is a bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and the choice is fairly wide. Also here, to my regret, you can smoke regular cigarettes. But I don't even know if anyone really smokes both hookah and cigarettes at the same time? 😅 For one hookah and two delicious lemonades we paid 20€ — that's normal. All in all, sitting there for an hour and a half is very pleasant. Do you like hookah? #frankfurt
