19 February 2007: Day 1

Though typical apartments have laundry rooms with washing machines, most do not have dryers. I don't have one; and neither do my neighbors. Instead, I have been using a drying rack placed inside the laundry area; my neighbors hang their laundry outside on bamboo sticks.

I'd like to do a little experiment...I'd like to see what I can find out about my neighbors just by taking a picture of their laundry. Maybe nothing. This probably goes against all ethical judgment from an American viewpoint...but keep in mind (at least I will to assuage the nagging guilt) that laundry is hung for all to see everyday (except rainy ones), on every street. No, really. So here it goes....
