After an exhausting eight-hour overnight train journey and a painful five hours wait for our room, I decided that the most therapeutic thing to do was my laundry.
The spin and wash took an hour and €2. Then my favourite part - tumbling the clothes dry. It was definitely worth parting with my €2.50.
Top five reasons why I must get a dryer when I have my own home:
- I dread hanging up wet clothes.
- It is always the bottleneck and the most time cosuming activity in the entire laundry process.
- I love the feel of warm dry clothes fresh out of the dryer.
- My clothes can dry in the wettest season.
- I can name it and it can be my washing machine's bestfriend.
So when I do throw a house warming party in future, you know what to get me!
- Location: Vienna, Austria
- Cost: €10 taxi from Wien Meidling to Wombats, €3.50 breakfast at the hostel, €20 per night at Wombats Hostel, €4.50 laundry, €8.50 dinner, €3.10 snake bite (beer, cidar and grenadine
- Highlight: Tradional Austrian dinner at Mozart-Stube, an old Viennese restaurant open since 1945. I had wiener schnitzel with fried potato and Mozart's Symphonie in weiss (white wine only available at the restaurant)
u know what? me too... i totally enjoyed doing my laundry at the laundry mat when i was in LA last year. somehow i felt that the clothes looked really happy while spinning in the dryer. i know... im weird. haa...
ReplyDeletewe can be weird together! but i'm probably only half as weird as you. i don't think my clothes are happy. lol...
ReplyDeleteHaha...Kelly, a dryer is certainly a good investment especially on rainy days or after washing bedsheets that refuse to dry! But in a country like Singapore where we get lots of sunshine, it's best to sun dry cos it saves electricity and kills germs too. Hehe...but I certainly know what to get you when you throw your housewarming party :)
