Laundry Time

Most families here wash clothes by hand or if they have a washer, they dry all clothes outside on the line. Since I didn’t want my underwear blowing in the breeze for the whole family to see. I chose to bring my clothes to a laundry mat the other day. All laundry mats here are full service; You can’t do your own clothes. To wash, dry, and fold, it costs about 15Q ($2) per small load. I dropped off my bag and a few hours later I returned to pick up my laundry. This guy handed me my bag with a big smile. I said “Gracias” and I headed home. I put my clothes away and felt a little weirded out at that fact that this man was probably the one that hand rolled each one of my panties into perfect, little, palm sized balls. I could have juggled with them. Although this guy may have experience folding women´s undergarments, I’m gonna look for a female lead laundry service next time.
