How do the appliances work?

The first thing I have to do is figure out how all the appliances work





It is rare to have a dryer. Last year some Americans rented the house
and insisted on having one, I am very grateful to them as when it rains
it is so humid there is no way your clothes will dry.
Also you have to iron everything here including your sheets!



The dryer was pretty easy to figure out



The washing machine is in the toilet room


Washing machines are much more complicated here.
If you dont select the right temperature you may boil your clothes.
The washing cycles run for hours




The only thing I know about the remotes is that the green turns the TV on


They dont use a QWERTY keyboard here

We have yet to figure out how to change the message


The stove, turn the knob and press the little button on the lower right



The dishwasher


It has been a different life style already but one I am fully enjoying,
it has been great living outside your comfort zone and feeling very much
like the outsider. I feel like I can reinvent myself :)
