Apologies if there is already a topic on this, but is there anywhere at Glastonbury my friend and I can smoke shisha? Nothing better than chilling with some drinks sharing a shisha with friends old and new!

I was in Dahab in Egypt one time and we'd scored some dope off a Bedouin bloke. The only problem was that we had no rolling papers. So, at the end of a meal one night (and while rather drunk) I asked if I could borrow the restaurants very large glass shisha, so that me and my friends could use it for smoking the afore mentioned dope (only I didn't tell them the last bit). They told me no, in no uncertain terms. I pleaded and pleaded with them, showed them what hotel I was in etc, and eventually they gave in and handed me the large shisha. I received it gratefully, turned around, took about three steps, tripped, and sent the glass shisha flying, until it hit the ground and smashed in to lots of little pieces. The restaurant staff were not very amused. Wow, did they over charge me for replacing it (as compared to similar ones that could be obtained in the local market).

Only shisha I've tried in a festival was flavoured strawberry, could not get the taste out of my mouth for the rest of the night, ruined every pint I had after that, is it always like that? Or was that an overdoing on shisha cafe part?

Summer is here, and that means music festivals! This year I am trying to go to as many festivals as possible, because I only managed to go to one last year. So far this year I have been to one Festival, appropriately called Mud Fest, and I plan to go to a few more by the end of the year. Mud Fest was held over three days at Newark Showground and was good fun. They hadThey two stages, lots of stalls, bars, different types of food, an obstacle course race and of course, mud. Bands were playing continually from Friday

"It's a cool factor to have," said George Hanna, especially for festival patrons who aren't from Lebanon and haven't experienced that sort of restaurant vibe. "We'd like people to experience it and understand it."

Ottawa's Board of Health already voted last month in favour of banning water pipes in enclosed public spaces due to growing health concerns. (Smoking water pipes was banned on municipal properties back in 2012.)

Hanna hasn't heard much about the impending ban from the Lebanese community. Perhaps it's because the writing was on the wall for hookahs, with five provinces and a number of Ontario municipalities having already banned them, including Toronto. The province and federal governments are also considering widespread restrictions on water pipes.

Every year, as the winter bids farewell and spring tiptoes in, the vibrant state of Goa in India bursts into a riot of colours and festivities. This traditional Hindu festival Shigmotsav, marks the arrival of spring and is celebrated with great fervour and enthusiasm. The festival is set to be held from 26 March to 8 April in the entire state and will come alive with cultural performances, float parades, music, and traditional dance during Shigmo.

As the colours of Shigmo paint the streets with exuberance, various other festivals prepare to showcase their diverse cultural heritage through a series of unique festivals. These festivals embody the essence of Goan traditions, each offering a distinct experience for travellers seeking to delve deeper into the soul of this coastal paradise. Witness a journey through five extraordinary festivals that add a splash of colour and a dash of excitement to the festivities alongside Shigmo in Goa.

Xenni Uzzo stands out as a thrilling fire ritual in South Goa. Annually, on the first full moon night following Shigmo, the village of Molcornem in Quepem, Goa, becomes the stage for a distinctive and age-old ceremony known as Xenni Uzzo. This ritual serves dual purposes: it honours the village's founding figures and beliefs while also commemorating the spring harvest festival.

Despite the rapid pace of modernization, the residents of Molcornem maintain a deep reverence for their traditional customs, particularly evident during Xenni Uzzo. Utilizing natural resources, such as dry cow dung cakes, locally termed "Xenni," and leaves, they generate sparks, referred to as "Uzzo," by striking these elements together. Encircling the resultant fire, villagers partake in spirited dances, while men transport areca nut tree trunks from carefully selected plantations near the Mallikarjun temple.

Ghode Modni, meaning 'horse dance,' is a unique festival celebrated in the villages of Thane, Sattari and other places. This centuries-old tradition showcases a spectacular display of horsemanship and martial arts, with performers dressed as warriors riding decorated horses.
