Life in China: A picture a Day 2016, January 11 - My wonderful husband bought me a present yesterday…. I am now the proud owner of a Chinese electric clothes drying machine :-) I’ve never had a dryer for the 6 ½ years we’ve been here, never really needed one, the clothes always hang on the balcony to dry. But, now…what would have taken a couple days for jeans to dry in cool, rainy weather…was dry in 5-6 hours :-) This machine stands almost 5 feet tall, 2 feet in diameter, and has a heater and a fan in the bottom which fills the bag with hot air! All for about $20 usd ….I give it a thumbs up!
