Arles - Launderette

The more and the longer I have travelled - the more I loved launderettes. Launderettes are meeting and melting points. Here the weary traveller will meet locals. There is an hour to spend at least, waiting for the washing machine. Talk is cheap. For the tourist all the locals have interesting stories to listen to and for the locals this stranger in the launderette is interesting. What is he doing in here? Where do you stay? What do you work? How is your life? Where will you be tomorrow? Launderettes - are definitely underestimated!
