For my next meeting with Nimah I took her shoe shopping at Shoe Station, since I saw that she had recently broken a pair of her favorite sandals. She was astounded by how cheap the shoes were and I taught her some of the basics of bargain hunting in America. We both only paid $5 for our shoes! They weren’t half bad either. . . On the way back to her house we talked about driving. She said that in Saudi Arabia women are not allowed to drive, and the only possible way to do so would be to go out in the desert and practice hoping no one sees you. I thought that was a little ridiculous and encouraged her to try to learn while she was here in America; it seems like a useful skill to have.
