Dryer controls
Washer controls.
When the Navy delivered our loaner items, we got an American fridge and that's where the familiarity stopped. The washer and dryer are all in Japanese. They dropped off an English control guide, but it's horribly translated and is useless.
The washer and dryer are both really small and the washer starts not by wetting your clothes, but by agitating them. The dryer works like a hair dryer not like a US dryer that vents the hot air. The Japanese dryer makes your clothes super hot until they dry. I wonder how much energy these things use....
The Japanese people hang their clothes out to dry and then use the dryer for a finishing touch to banish wrinkles or make it soft. Since it's windy and rainy and I have no hangers, drying outside is not an option right now.
John called about our personal property which we still have not received. It's frustrating because we're getting different answers and no one seems to know where our household goods are. I just want to finally make our house a home. Right now I'm laying on the living room floor with my head propped up on a suitcase.

Oh no! I hope the weather improves, using the super hot blast method of drying can't be good on the color fastness of your clothing.... The agitating first for the washer reminds me of my moms front loader. It starts turning first and then starts spitting the water out and the soap... kinda odd.
ReplyDeleteThat's nuts! I know there are indoor clothes drying racks that help when the weather isn't conducive to line drying. They have them over here for sure, maybe they'd be in the laundry area of the big super center?
