A new experience at the Laundromat first thing this morning too – run by a Chinese man and they had Kiwi, Arabic, Swiss and French customers – all tourists ! – I heard a small child grizzle to its mother in Swiss – all sounds the same no matter what language….
Got the soap $0.75 cents and $2.75 for the wash – 27 minutes then 16 minutes in the dryer for $0.50 and after 1 hour of twiddling my thumbs I was out of there back to the hotel.
I found the Laundry Service for the hotel - - a shirt will cost $7.50 – undies (each) are $2.25 so now I know why I went up the road – a 5 minute walk to do all of mine – at a quick calculation it would have been over $100 to do all of my laundry today at the hotel !!!!
Went back into the “metropolis” for a walk around till lunchtime…… then I spent some of the afternoon “playing” on the computer….
My roomy arrived and we talked for a while before going down to the lobby to meet and greet the rest of the Adobe Crew.
Spent some time there then went out to tea with the “Brits” to get to know them.
Came back to the hotel and off to bed – it was actually good to have a day that I didn’t play tourist – the walking and the people
Very frustrating not having the internet though but I am not paying $19.95 a day for it !!!!!!
