14. VloMo08 : day15 - Dhobi Ghat Mumbai - public laundry
3 years ago
Dhobi Ghat is a public outdoor laundry where clothes of the local people and hospital & school laundry is done. it's cool to watch - hard work. I asked if the women do this too and he mentioned they wash on other days but that it's heavy duty work so is mostly done by men. it's one of the icons of Mumbai. it's next to a train station where you can see the old trains with people hanging out the doors on weekdays - another iconic image of Mumbai.

(pls excuse my dumb questions - I should have researched mumbai more before I arrived. also my computer had a lot of problems converting & uploading this file so I hope it actually plays!)

    thanks. it's good to remember that it's me observing others without knowing the details compared to a local person/them sharing their life. my life, the observer :)
