POTD: Wash Day
Wash Day
Xitang Village, China
2015
I was quite surprised (naively I suppose) how many people do not have access to washing machines in China. This lady was doing laundry in the river. She was standing on a little landing that looked like it was made specifically for that purpose. I also saw similar landings along creeks across from housing in the mountains. Walking in Shanghai one day I noticed a number of women doing laundry in ground level sinks outside of buildings.
