Dress Shopping in Jalalabad

For our first foray into town, we took care of the essentials: dress shopping. It was my first time having both an armed escort and a translator when shopping but I think I still got ripped off. Zee took Amy and me to his buddy's dress shop and gave us fashion do and dont's, Afghan style. He absolutely refused to let me buy an orange dress, swearing that only fat, old married women wear orange. I later learned this wasn't true, Zee just didn't like the dress. Our armed guard Shem seemed bored out of his mind, I don't think this is what he had imagined when he signed on for a security detail in Afghanistan.

So I picked the white one instead
Shem wondering how he is going to explain this to his army buddies
