Caution when vaping in Saudi Arabia!

Great stereotype Robbie! More like 2000 years behind! I heard they stone women on their wedding night

Ah, JD ya wimp!
In the last 10 months I've vaped in public in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Israel, Austria, Germany, Sweden and Denmark!
Just need to be careful in certain countries.

I've been known to wimp out from time to time. There's just something I like about getting home at the end of the trip.

Hahaha, yes they are WAYYYYY behind western times!

As for the hookah, Most good tobacco (Called Sheesha in the mid east) is a refined tobacco that is flavored and mixed with molassess for sweetness and to make it smolder instead of burn. Sheesha is kind of like a cigar... it can be very smooth and enjoyable, or be something that u would rather inhale burning cow dung over... just depends on the quality.

I have enjoyed many sheesha sessions while travelling in the Mid east. I will however as said before be a little more careful about where I vape openly! (And always have some liquids stashed in multiple places and pieces of luggage to avoid confiscation!

Safe travels

RIA, you have a typical american attitude. I bet you are the kind of guy who vapes in nonsmoking places even if you bother everybody else.

tambur,

I dont think you know me well enough to make those statements. And could you perhaps indulge me of what this "typical american attitude" is???

Ah hun, I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of people from other countries have the impression that all Americans have the Cartman "Eff you, I'll do what I want!" kind of attitude. They also have the impression that all Americans are fat (it's true that this country has an obesity epidemic compared to other countries, but not ALL Americans are fat), and stupid (admittedly other countries have better education systems sometimes, but not all Americans are dumb).

People who say such closed minded blanket statements are not worth even trying to talk to, as you won't change their minds from what they believe most of the time. No offense to tambur or you. Just saying that we don't need to fight about stupid things when we are all here for a common goal. Let's just stay on topic and not bring countries or origin, race, sex, sexual preference or anything like that into our discussions. I know that I'm not a mod, but that's just my opinion.

Well said Superstargoddess....People may think that nicotine juice is an illegal substance. I carry the instruction manual to my PV in my wallet just in case someone thinks I'm doing something illegal when I vape in public. Did those officers know how to speak and/or read English? Or did they have a translator. I figure it would be worse having a language barrier.
