Some have dryers, some have washing machines that do the drying and the bleeding ironing and pressing of underpants with pleasure, no need to trouble the chambermaid wink wink nudge nudge (today's washing machines while they don't yet offer fellatio/cunnilingus programs, will perform almost any type of operation on a pair of dirty knickers thereby rendering dryers virtually redundant), some hang their washing out to dry on a bit of string in their backyard (a much more environment friendly way by the way unless you use some really poisonous detergent).

I'm asking because in case I get to go to college in Russsia I really can't imagine living with out a dryer.
Join the girl guides or whatever they call them in the US. Hopefully they will teach you some rudimentary survival skills - it's a shame really that a simple thing like a lack of a dryer can render a person helpless.
