Because you wonder about everyday things, don't you?

I thought about posting this because there are so, so many things I take for granted back home. Laundry is one of them. Many places here don't have washers, so doing your own laundry isn't an option. Dryers are even more rare to come by, so here's what we do: drop our clothes off at the laundry stand to be washed. The wet clothes are hung outside to dry on lines and once they're dry everything gets ironed (even underwear) and folded neatly in a plastic bag that gets stapled shut. Then you pick it up and pay. The funny part is that these stands are out on the main streets next to other vendors so it's not uncommon to be eating a pork or chicken skewer next to someone's bras and panties.
