OK, I will never complain about doing laundry in the states. My friend Edel warned me (but I didn't listen-imagine that) This is an ENDLESS ordeal here. First, the machines are tiny. I'm very excited to fit 4 pairs of jeans in the washer. Second, most people don't use a dryer here...they say because it is more energy efficient to hang your clothes, I say it is because your clothes will dry quicker if you do hang them. I have to empty a water container about every hour since it doesn't use a vent. It took me 2 days (off and on) to dry one load of jeans. I will be hanging my clothes starting tomorrow (if I can get in the laundry room cause the pile is a mountain)
Off to do more laundry.......(love)

That's what we went through in Kazakhstan. Downside to air drying is that ironing becomes a must to soften clothes a bit. Now you understand while Europeans where there clothes many times before washing!
