Home laundry 17 million in Bombay (10 pics + text)
Today I spent the whole day will be "Landry". Ie a man-a laundress. Wash kilograms marching things.
the first time with representatives of this very male profession I encountered in India.
Home laundry 17 million in Bombay called Dhobi Ghat, and is a huge quarter rather beggarly area.
Most Landry in Bombay - a "guest workers" from the neighboring Indian states.
For the fact that I had washed 7 things (T-shirts, pants, etc.) I paid 300 rupees (about 230 rubles).
Each "washerwoman" a strictly enclosed grounds.
The concrete tubs of laundry presoak and erase more conventional soap.
Washing powder Indian Landry did not enjoy.
Wash them well: take a dirty, wet clothes, and have just 30-40, Insanely, they beat on the stones. Knock-type dirt.
And then naturally dried.
At the same time Dhobi Ghat employs several hundred Landry. For a couple of hours each of the men over 50 washes dirty things.
