cemab4y Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 I am restricted to base, and not permitted to go outside the wire, except by military aircraft. NO Iraqis work on this base, only Americans and some carefully screened third-country nationals (Filipinos, Indians, Nepalese, etc.) The little shop here on the base sells Hookahs and some tobacco and supplies, but there is no hookah lounge, or anywhere to smoke except in your trailer.I probably will not enjoy smoking much, until I return to my home in Washington DC, in August 2008.

tyciol Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Not really, I just know it's real tough just like the rest of the middle east and needs terraformation so make it habitable by civilized folks. It must be really hard to route out the psycho religious suiciders though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
