On May 13th I posted a photo a public laundry washbasin in Ciudad Vieja and Heidi asked how do people wash their clothes in such facilities. Here I have a follow-up photo taken at the same time and day. People, usually from low income areas, take their dirty clothes to the public laundry washbasin which is nothing more than a large water tank with many sinks where women can wash them by hand using only soap and a small plastic vessel. The mystery is now resolved, but the magic has been taken away.

Another wonderful cultural photo!
i think this is great! certainly organised nicely 🙂
yesterday i saw someone doing her washing at river danube, Budapest ..
yep, it’s great that they have this kind of facilities. There are still some low income people in my country who have to do laundry in the (dirty) river.
this is very interesting!
