Some parts of life here aren't that different than they would be at home - right down to what might be considered mundane. Take laundry for instance: here in Verbania, there is a small laundromat that isn't unlike what you might see Stateside.
The main difference is that to wash and dry a week's worth of clothes was €9, or about $12. I'm very thankful that the use of washers and dryers at the NAC is free!
Of course, the €.50 espresso from the coffee machine in the laundromat helped dull the pain some too.
