Leaf: My Mama making a delicious udon noodle soup for lunch. We shopped for those scales (on the right) together in the Varanasi steel bazaar when my parents visited about six years ago. (Corrimal, Australia)

Rae: I sat here for a while and washed a whole lot of clothes. When you're traveling with five kids, you use the washer that takes the mega load. I've always loved laundromats. It was a quiet hour. (Long Beach, USA)
