Ok, Mumbai is a long way from Agra, but since most foreign tourists stop in Mumbai first...
The outdoor laundry will make you appreciate washers and dryers like nothing else. Laundry is picked up from businesses and homes, brought to the laundry, washed and ironed and returned...all within a few days, for pennies, I was told.
It was amazing to see them ironing with a "real" iron - filled with coal to make it hot.
Watch out for the pickpockets as you look out at the laundry. I was swarmed by kids/men, with hands everywhere . They' weren't even subtle about it. Luckily I had left all valuables locked safely in the trunk.
