You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
エジプトで一緒だった先輩と水タバコを吸いに行ってきた。
I went to a shisha bar with a former colleague from my previous company who had worked with me in Egypt.
東京で初めてのシーシャ。どんなもんか楽しみ。空いているだろうなと思って行ってみたら、そんなことはなかった。けっこう混んでいて予約して正解だった。
It was our first time smoking shisha together in Tokyo, and I was pretty excited about it. I initially thought the bar wouldn’t be too crowded, but that wasn’t the case. Thankfully, I made the right decision to make a reservation.
フレーバーはものすごくたくさんあったけど、エジプトにいたときと同じくレモンミントをチョイス。先輩もエジプトと同じアップルフレーバー。
There were so many flavors of shisha to choose from. I went with lemon-mint, and he ordered apple.
味は現地のものとまったく同じ。１つ違うのは、味がずっと長続きするということ。２時間以上滞在したけど、ずっと味が続いた。また、屋内でジュースが飲み放題なのもいい。
Both flavors brought back memories of our time in Egypt. The taste was exactly the same as what we remembered from Egypt, but the only difference was that in Japan, the flavor lasted so long. Also, the all-you-can-drink service was fantastic.
ただ、値段が高い。２時間いて3,500円。１つだけいいのは食べ物が持ち込みOKということ。今回はポテトチップスとオレオクッキーを持参。中には、ポテトチップスをコンテナタッパーに入れて持ち込んでいた強者もいた。次回、行くときは、もっと盛大に食べ物を持っていきたい。
However, it was quite pricey. We stayed for two hours and ended up paying 3,500 yen each. On the plus side, you’re allowed to bring your own food into the bar. I brought some potato chips and Oreo cookies, but we noticed one of the other customers had brought a whole container full of chips! Next time I visit, I’ll definitely bring more food.
To be continued.
