Personal related free associations depending on the launderette specificity:
1. Yellow plastic container on the top shelf - reminds Ioana of the Argos containers she bought when she had to move in London. That takes her to other objects she had to buy: plates, bad clothes, lamp, etc.
- Where will these objects go when she leaves?
- Issues around moving into a new place/country and the objects around that
2. The black and white tiles reminded Robert of the flats he checked in Germany when he wanted to rent together withe Nils
- the idea of renting
- someone who is concerned with this is constantly thinking about it (number of rooms, flat characteristics, where the price is on the internet screen, the order of price on the internet page, etc) - important for immigrants
3. Clothes plastic bag model reminded Ioana of the pesants travelling by train, carying live chicken, cheese and cabbage (in Romania) - the smell and the poverty
4. Washing machine spins reminded Ioana of Domnul Muntiu (her grandma's friend) that knew by heart all the rotations and rythms of the Arctic machine (romanian brand)
- childhood memories and people's habbits
- good to use for one of the characters that is very acostumed to the place
5. The three buttons on the washing machines (red, yellow, blue) is the Romanian flag, that Ioana hates because the mayor of Cluj used to paint everything in those colours
