Doing Laundry While Abroad
I don't know why he's not taking photos outside, but Lee provides an extensive tutorial and photo essay about cleaning your clothes while travelling:
Step Two: Apply soap to stain or “problem” areas (armpits, collar, bottoms) and scrub together. Apply more soap to the water and article before kneading it like bread. Squeeze and scrub. If suds do not appear…rinse, repeat.
The last photo features the clothes hanging on an armoir or wardrobe to dry. This gives me a chance to introduce a very low-tech but very handy travel gadget: the four-way bungee cord.
Not only is it handy for strapping down gear when travelling in or on a vehicle (or, you know, mount), but it's also a handy improvised clothesline. You just hook two or more ends to parts of your bathroom or hotel room, and hang up all your clothes. Such a gizmo stood me in very good stead in Costa Rica.
