The apartment in Chennai - Part 4

The washing machine is outside on a little balcony off the kitchen. The balcony is tiled and has 2 drain holes. The water from the washing machine comes out this hose and pours all over the floor, then goes down the 2 drain holes. Tom didn't mention this to me before he left for work today so when I was doing the laundry I at first thought there was something wrong with the machine then I realized that the water is supposed to pour out of that hose all over the floor.

Everything here takes longer and laundry is no exception. It takes exactly 59 minutes to do a load of laundry in the washing machine and the inside of the machine is fairly small so I can't do huge loads of laundry.

Once the cycle is finished I take the clothes to the 2nd bedroom and hang them up on the clotheslines that Tom has strung up. I think those clotheslines were sufficient for him but for 2 people I'm thinking we may need more line to hang stuff up.
