Washing in public

I am talking about clothes washing. You take having a washing machine at your home for granted but for now I have to visit the local coin driven laundrette. I have used these machine before and there is nothing particularly interesting in the act of switching the machine on etc. However, it interesting observing my fellow 'washers in public'. Mainly Mexican, I don't here any one else speaking English, but Spanish flies through the air. Reminds you of the day to day realities of life.
