Laundry in Liberia is just a little different than home. First of all, that’s true for me because even though here in Liberia I'm lucky enough to have both a washer and a dryer, I do only have one plug in the laundry room. I can wash or I can dry, but not both at the same time. I know, horrible, right? First world problems for sure as I see what they have to do for their laundry here in Liberia.They spend many hours hand scrubbing on a small scrub board in brightly colored plastic bins full of suds (with water that they probably pumped from the local well), wringing things out by hand and then hanging them up to dry on the line...or laying them out on the lawn...or on the roof...or even over a fence to dry. It’s got to be especially frustrating in the rainy season when you hang all your clothes up to dry and it starts to pour! Now what was I whining about with my single plug in the laundry room?
