Laundry This Week

This week I went to EcoWash Waschsalon on Warschauer Strasse. It is nice, and was the place I went two weeks ago, when I first got to town...tonight there was an older lady and a dog in the place when I went in. They were friendly and the lady spoke very good english...so I took a backpack full of dirty clothes over...I just moved into a new place and there is a washing machine here, but no dryer, and all my clothes were dirty, so my plan was to go to the laundry mat this week to get things clean, and then I can use the washing machine here for smaller loads henceforth...I think it is a good plan. While my clothes were in the washer, I walked over and got a durub, which is like a doner kebap, except in a tortilla, like a burrito. It was pretty good...anyway, when I got back, the lady informed me that the computer that controls the washers and dryers would be going down in five minutes, so that I had to get my money in for the dryers before that...talk about a deadline! Luckily, I made it under the wire. Everything worked out and my clothes got clean...I had another close call, bc the lady also told me that the door automatically locks at 11p, so I had to be finished by then. Well, I was experimenting with a new way to fold my shirts, which I think was successful, but then I had to stuff everything back in the backpack. It was ok when I got back to the flat though.
