How crazy that in an affluent country folks are still doing laundry in some ancient looking communal washing room. (Not even a coin operated laundry mat.) That is the best part of travel. Seeing how people live day to day doing normal stuff. You get used to living in a place where everyone can do laundry in their own machines at their own houses… it is easy to forget that isn’t what happens in most of the world.

I think maybe they enjoy the community experience, from what I read on the displays outside that certainly seem like case. Imagine the gossip you'd pick up there!!

In addition, it's great to wash big items like that rug if you don't have a carpet cleaner
