This, about the kitchen and stuff, is so alien and ineresting to me. I live and grew up in Europe and the thought of using someone else's kitchen or - gasp - washer/dryer is unsettling for me. My first thought actually was: "Eeeh, how unhygienic". (Which it is not necessarily, I understand.)
But I absolutely love how the contact with people everywhere questions and rattles my sense of normal. Thank you!
