Clearly the laundry-pole-out-the-window is a local cultural thing. I wonder what happens if you lose a garment? On a street like Pagoda Street you could probably find it in the street but if it comes off one of those poles from Block 335B, it could almost end up anywhere!

Typical of the area were the laundry poles projected from the windows above the streets to dry clothes in what breeze passed by. Also typical is the commercial nature of the ground floor, shops, workshops, cafes, bars, offices - any type of commerce you can imagine could be found here. Then on the floors above, what I imagine to be cramped living quarters.
