Chinese laundry

With so many people and children in one apartment, we had to take care of laundry every day. The stackable washer and dryer were in a convenient spot next to the kitchen, and the washer worked very well.

But ask Carol about the dryer, which never quite dried our clothes, even after they had been hanging outside until almost dry. We used the "dryer" to soften clothes and reduce wrinkles, but mostly we had to hang our clean wash on the balcony for thorough drying.

In the streets and outside their windows and balconies, the Chinese hang their laundry in plain sight, inlcuding bras and underwear. Oh, my.
