pictured here is a coffee cup (left) and what i am currently drinking my coffee out of (right). the object on the right is a bowl. the spoon is their version of a teaspoon, and i suppose if you use those tiny cups it fits well. i added the standard fork in the picture for size comparison.
my front loading washing machine, which i am completely grateful for and does a wonderful job getting our clothes fresh and clean, is approximately 8.5 inches deep. i don't think i can put more than 2 full sized towels in it.
my refrigerator, an under the counter style and slightly larger than a dorm fridge, is also pictured. here you see it fully stocked which will only last a few days. we have been to the market frequently! milk is sold by the liter which is a couple drops more than a quart. at home i typically buy multiple gallons of milk during any given shopping trip.
they have the tiniest cars here - lots of smart cars and some even smaller than that! i have seen cars with only 3 wheels, too.
i guess this is just the american in me - marveling at how quaint and cute but sometimes frustrating everything is in miniature. growing up with larger than life grocery stores, homes, and other simple necessities is certainly the american way. but honestly my fridge is big enough for what i need, the washing machine does it job in a very small space, and i have a bowl to drink my coffee from. what else do i need?
