 Never been to a laundramat?{#lang_emotions_unsure}  I´ll give you a visual....from my perspective.  Lis may correct me.  Ok...your washer or dryer has gone out in your house...damn I have to go to the laundramat.  I need to make sure I have enough change..lots of quarters.  Ok...I get there park my car, walk in one basket at a time hoping no one steals anything when I go back to get another basket, kids running everywhere, hotter than hell, mexican guy is staring at me, start to read magazine.  20 minutes later throw my cloths into dryer...trying to find a place to fold them.  Damn it forgot hangers..fold what I can and load my car, telling myself I can´t wait to get my dryer or washer fixed. The day at a laundramat.{#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

 

This is just about right.  I remember when I had my first apartment.  I was 19 and going to university.  There was no washer or dryer and I was forced to go the laundramat!  It´s not really fun but you see all kinds of people!  Sometimes that in itself can be entertaining!

You guys are too used to luxury {#lang_emotions_get_you}

 

All my life I thought it was every person´s right to have a washer and dryer at home  but now that we live in a city it´s a whole different story {#lang_emotions_cry}

Same for me during my college time. Only in most Dutch laundramats there are no people waiting, you put your stuff in the machine and go away for shopping or so, coming back in 1,5 hours (these large machines here aren´t too fast!). Last time I used a laundramat was on holiday in Gaziantep in Turkey while backpacking for 5 weeks. It took me quite some effort to find one. People were almost insulted when I asked them where I could find one ´Do you think we are poor? We all have a washing machine at home!´ And during my previous trips in Japan I used sometimes the ´koin randori´ where smiling women take over your stuff before you can say a word!

 again, its a pride. we are so proud. thats in our blood. theres nothing we have invented or contributed to the humankind except for our genes but nevermind, we are still very very proud. proud of what? of our own pride eh what a mess! {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

 

i remember i put my grnadma´s dress of a dark colour into a washer together with other dark color trousers and socks. my grandma was in shock and was greatly offended. after that she separately washed her clothes by hands.
