Fcking Monsoon and Dhobi Talao

Posted by Hello

Title : Dhobi Talao
Photograper : Sanity INC
Subject : Public laundry (I kid you not!)
Location : Mumbai - 2003


I posted the picture before I left, in memory of my last year visit. I was hoping that this visit will be better than before, but unfortunately I came on the wrong season. It's MONSOON season in India now. It f-cking rained every single day I was there. I'm sure people didn't even bother to watch the weather news at that time. So my whole adventure pretty much extend only between the room to 5km radius from the hotel. So much of trying to find Shah Rukh Khan house :(

No new picture taken since I don't want to take my camera in the rain. So I will just going to talk about the picture above. It's a public laundry, the Indian version of Laundromat, I guess. The name is Dhobi Talao, named after a washerman's pond which disappeared before the mid 17th century (if my source is correct).

I wonder if Indonesia has similar kind of set up somewhere.
