Man I miss those days.....

Thanks for the advice. I've done some of those foods in the states and am definitely open to trying just about anything, so I will take you up on all of those. I've done the flavored tobacco thing before, too. If you're ever going to be in town, let me know and we'll go let you experience those days again. Thanks again.

I'm not sure what they do in Dubai. I am in Kuwait and they don't do that here. I had to give my company my passport so that they can get me a "multiple entry visa" but I will get the passport back when they finish.
