lessons from the laundermat

1. Make sure you have change. One would think that a coin operated launder mat would have a place where you could change your notes for coins. Nope. In the end you do a lot of math and counting out coins praying you have enough to wash and dry.

2. Remember the detergent. Sometimes you get so excited that you shut the door before you put in the laundry detergent. That is an expensive mistake. It's 3 pounds to wash. Luckily the Metrogate night manager is super nice and gave me a magic coin that will let me rewash everything for free! Thank you nice employee.

3. Bring your own detergent because they don't sell and you will have to walk 3 blocks to tesco and buy some. Shout out to mom for making sure I had stuff for laundry.

4. Hauling clothes in a suitcase is much easier than hauling them in a bag.

5. don't go at 11 o'clock at night because it is a 2 hour ordeal and so you won't get home until late.

6. Bring a snack. The time is much more enjoyable when you have a Bueno bar. 

So glad I packed enough clothes so I only have to do laundry once because this is a mess.
