VN 27: Laundry



A view from a Ho Chi Minh City hotel onto the neighborhood.

A friend once said that she thought washers and dryers would not be good for clothes compared to washing them by hand, and although I see her point, washing machines and dryers are far more common than they used to be. Even so, polyester (sometimes called "Vietnamese silk") is common, and that makes sense since, like tile and plastic, it is easy to wash and it dries comparatively quickly.

Still, how the clothes hung out to dry in the daily soaking humidity ever completely dry I have never understood, but they do appear to. 

Or you can hang them in front of the air conditioner over night.

If you have an air conditioner.
