We've been in Nagoya almost 2 weeks - time to finally do laundry! It's pretty expensive to have the hotel do it, so we only had them wash our necessary items... 3 pairs of jeans, 16 shirts, 22 pairs of socks, and 18 pairs of underwear. How much do you think it cost?????? 25,500 yen = $280.54. YES, you heard me correctly.... we had enough clothes for about 2-3 loads of laundry, and it cost $280. You can tell from the picture that they individually wrap each shirt in plastic wrap - oh, and they fold each item around tissue paper and tag each item too.
That is outrageous! Also, I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks already. So crazy. I hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteSo expensive, but if I had the money, wouldn't I love to have the kids clothes washed, folded and packed into plastic. Are the undies wrapped around tissue too? How funny! Joe, maybe you'll start a trend of MI t-shirts over there.
ReplyDeleteyikes - and I thought doing laundry at my apartment was expensive -- at least they gift wrap =P
ReplyDeleteonly one more week and you guys move into the apartment - right?
Holy crap...come to Cambodia and I can get it done for you for like $3...unlimited laundry! :) Ah the benefits of 3rd world service...
