Well I've been to Kabul and whilst the mountain views were nice it was irritating to have so many trying to shoot us, including taking fire from those who were supposed to be on our side. The D3 looked quite shabby quite quickly. Oh and the rear screen didn't survive the first bomb blast. I guess we drank tea though.

Just drink the French wine, it's cheaper than paying over the odds for tea bags
