Pictures of Thailand
A couple of posts ago I reprinted a letter from Ashley Mills '05 who is currently in Thailand on the Peace Corps. She sends along a few pictures that are very interesting; find them here. I like the last one, which I take it is of her washing machine. For anyone who has lived outside The States, the idiosyncracies of doing laundry makes one realize how much simplifying technology we have at home. Years ago in Eastern Europe all I had was a centrifuge to wring the water out of my wet clothes--if the laundry wasn't balanced just right, the thing would begin to careen wildly about the bathroom until it pulled out its power cord. Ah, the good old days.
