I love this Chinese Laundry and its people so very, very much, including the laundry wrapped in brown butcher paper and tied with string. I would be happy to have worked in such a place. But there is also great sadness in their story.
Affinity: Sometimes I think I must have been a Chinese or Japanese woman in another life.

#japan #laundry

Japanese laundry routine differs culturally.
How often do you do your laundry?

In Japan, it is common to do laundry every day for couples or families.
Single people typically do laundry 1 to 3 times a week.
A family with small children will sometimes do it more than 2-3 times a day.

WASH DAY

I woke up this morning without a dream, a song and my Beloved.
Oh well. No matter. It’s Monday, Wash Day, and I have laundry to do.
