At my home in Japan, we didn't have a dryer at all. My mom always put the laundry outside on the balcony everyday. The place where I live now doesn't have a dryer, either. When I finish washing, I usually put them outside. It didn't take time for me to get used to this because of experience in Japan. It is a beatiful back alley. The alley is not too wide or too narrow. I like the rough looking of it.

日本では洗濯物を外で干すというのは当たり前のことだけれど、トロントでは気候のせいもあってかあんまり見かけない。乾燥機は必需品の1つと考える人の方が多い。僕の今住んでいるところでは乾燥機はなく、天気のいい日は外で干す。外で干すというのには日本での生活から違和感は全くなく。冬は暖房で乾燥する室内ですぐ乾くそうである。路地裏になぜ惹かれるのかわからないけれど、こういう路地裏はとても好きなものの一つで。花は自転車をガレージから出す度にあったてしまうきれいでかわいそうな花です。

It's so much like old style Europe too! Hanging laundry out to dry. I like that back alley too. Doesn't look that small or bad, and nice day for photos too!
There's sooooo lovely!!!
and the flower is also lovely!
Here's still in a rainy season,
so I can't hang laundry outside...
