LAUNDRY

Japanese machines are small, about half the size of my American Sears model. When you look at the power on a dryer, you realize that most American hair dryers have more wattage. So, when thinking about times for drying, how long would it take you to dry a pair of jeans with your Revlon turbo power hair dryer? Also, most dryers don't vent to the outside. Therefore, the humidity in the place can escalate. While TDY, we had to go to the laundry room on the top floor and do our own laundry. Most places have somewhere to hang your clothes. It takes time, and finding clothes clips (100 Yen stores ROCK) but it does help. It just takes extra time to hang them up, and... okay... just think of it as if you're saving the planet by not using as much electricity. Of course, that means you have to use more physical energy. That means you have to eat more. Growing food helps with green house gases, but getting it to you takes gas and energy, and.... okay, it's a wash. Pun intended.

I do not know if irons and ironing boards come with the places.
