Doing my laundry in Japan

2nd of 3 videos I'm going to upload tonight.

I meant to film one longer 5 minute vlog, but some Japanese people came into the coin laundry I was in while I was filming, so this vlog got split into two parts.

Enjoy!

PS - Questions of the vlog: 1 - Do you do your own laundry? 2 - Do you use a dryer or hang your clothes to dry?

im very curious why did you have to turn off the video camera when the japanese person came in?

I didn't have to, but talking to "myself" alone in a laundry mat makes me seem even weirder than I already do... :P

That's scary! （＞ω＜） I never thought it'd be that expensive! I hope being in Tokyo will somehow lower the price （^ω^;;） Oh is the clothes detergent expensive too???

[myargonauts]

the price of the washing machine includes detergent, automatically added in, so it is handy like that

wow Pricey, Something I have been wondering about is the Average cost of living. I mean when us back in the states see stuff like 23$ to wash and dry 2 medium loads of laundry it seems very high price. but if the pay for jobs is better then the states it will probally equal out. I know your just there for a couple weeks but if you have a chance to respond to this it would be great. Anyway have fun and I look forward to a clip from the Sumo if you get a chance.

it seems like this place in particular is a bit pricey. And if you lived here regularly, my guess is you would wash your clothes and just take them there to dry, which isn't that expensive.

why not use a kotatsu as dryer lol

I don't know how to use the coin laundry in my mansion!! I'm afraid to go wash my own clothes!

[blitzkrieg1913]

now i know why they have their own washers :D

@ZyriaLuvWG I'm assuming it's just kinda embarrassing to be filming yourself in an empty coin laundry place XD

I'll make sure I never again complain about my school charging $1.00 to wash and $1.00 to dry.... sorry to hear you spent close tO $25 to do your laundry...

@myargonauts Actually, where I live, in the middle of nowhere country, its almost exactly the same pricing. So either its a common practice outside major cities or just that insanely expensive...

[misctube]

Its amazing how so many things here are a complete ripoff in terms of pricing, but since people accept it, the ripoff pricing thrives....
