This is where I go to school six days a week — through the gate behind the chain-hookah-smokers. I don’t know if these men have jobs, but I can’t imagine how else they’d afford to puff on hookah for four+ hours a day. They typically give me looks resembling the man on the left. Sometimes we say “salam” — “peace” — the common greeting here.
