Laundry in another CIty

People interested in high density living: In Taiwan, the balcony area's main purpose is for laundry and when there is not enough space, an extension rope gets suspended above ground. Amidst my slight sickness (sore throat and slight headache), I almost drop my laundry down a six storey pit which I have no idea how to access, might have to holler out to the people on each level to pass it back up? Australia, you sparse heaven with an abundance of ground level laundry space! On the plus side of this laundry arrangement in Taiwanese apartments, it teaches you to be pretty coordinated and have quick reflexes even when you are sick. So why am I so caught up over one shirt? Because my male colleague commented the other day, "Alice, for a girl, I've noticed you only have six shirts."

His observes correctly...and creepily.
