Well, in Singapore, the majority of people will hang their clothes on bamboo poles and then plug them into slots outside their flats just like this picture.
You get floor and floors of clothing hanging on poles. (This picture was taken some time ago, right now you wont see clear skies, it's still hazy all over Singapore today)
How do you dry your clothes? For me, my sister can't imagine carrying a pole that weights a few kilo with wet clothes outside your window 25 stories high. So, we have a Fisher & Paykel dryer at home :-) A auto sensing model as well, one that wont shrink your clothes. haha...
Um...my mom and me all like the sun, So you may know the answer of me.

And in Shanghai, lots of people like sun as I do~~
:D
Very unique photo. I'm glad you have a dryer. When I was a child we had a clothes line. As a young adult my wife and I had a clothes line however after our first child and hanging a million diapers we borrowed the money to buy a dryer.
ReplyDeletePhoto impresionnante. Tres reussie.
ReplyDeleteEn France c'est souvent interdit de faire secher son linge sur les balcons
its hanging out! wont it drop?
ReplyDeletei'll show how we do it , hmm..tomorrow may ;)
I live in a single house and have a clothes line. I have a dryer too, which we might use 5 or 6 times a year. Even if raining (which it doesn't do very often these days!) I usually use an inside airer.
ReplyDeleteAustralians get very distressed about seeing clithes on balconies and most unit blocks have by-laws which prevent it. Racists get really agitated about it and use expressions I won't repeat - for some reason it exercises the mnd of local paper letter writers, particularly in areas where a lot of Chinese people live. Drives me nuts that kind of petty-mindedness!
PS I'd rather people be able to use their balconies and hang out washing than use more an more of the world's resources running electrical equipment (which also hastens the deterioration of your clothes)
ReplyDeleteinteresting shot~
ReplyDeletehmm~let me see...looks like bukit batok...or maybe bishan...still figuring out...LOL
:D
ReplyDeleteActually I never use the dryer. But most of time I hang the clothes in the balcony...If the day is soooo sunny, and I have time to stay at home, I'd like hang them out with the pole. and of course wont drop, Kris, we use a kind of clips to tight the clothes.
