Laundry Day...er...week
I just started a load of laundry. In 2.5 hours the washing machine will be done washing. Therefore, at 18:30, I will be able to hang them up to dry on our industrial-size drying rack. I'll be able to wear these clothes tomorrow around 8:00. It will take me 4 days to do the same amount of laundry I did on a Saturday in Birmingham. And I wondered what I would do with my time after I moved here!

What's the full story here? Why so long? Do you have to wait for a sleepy Surinamese family to finish their clothes first? Do you have to do socks one at a time?
Oh, I see! Now I have to fully develop my theses even for my blog?
1. The washing machine is half the size of our old one. 2 Dutch loads = One American load of laundry.
2. 2.5 hours per dutch load vs. 45 minutes - 60 minutes for an American load.
3. Minimum drying time of 5 hours on the drying rack (probably 8 hours) vs. 60 minutes in the dryer.
It just takes longer, OK??!!
