The "Right To Dry" Issue

I'm late in being aware of the "right to dry" issue, but since learning about it all, I have to smile! Clothes lines were a norm growing up in Kansas, and REALLY the norm in Korea.

Actually, not clothes lines, unless you lived in a house that had an enclosed courtyard, but drying racks were standard.

The picture at the far left is not my own, as drying racks in Korea were made of plastic/metal and MUCH bigger than the one here (from www.wikipedia.com).

Dryers are a luxury in Korea, with only the wealthy owning them. I came to love my drying rack and felt so accomplished when my laundry was done, dried and ready to unpin from the rack.

Washer hook-ups are standard in apartments (even in very small one rooms) but never dryers. My washer was in the bathroom of my apartment (and in a laundry room in the dorm of my second job). I won't go into detail except to say that ALL was a tight fit. I didn't take pictures of my crazy bathroom set-up, and now regret it. Just know that I had no bath tub and now shower, as we know it in the States.

So, hang in there right to dryers! Just like organic gardening, we'll soon see clothes lines at the White House!
