Ways of observing people/the site

When you see somebody/something what draws your attention first?

1. Roberts looks at all the price tags: 7 Pounds for a large wash (=two drinks), 50 p for a spin, 50 p for soap, 50 p for 6 minutes of drying (so how many minutes of drying does the spin save, he thinks)
- he is paying a lot of attention to money and wonders a lot around money issues

2. Ioana looks at the rule tags: 'Please do not put trainers in the dryer', 'Please ask for advice', 'Do not smoke' on the door
- good information for the person that is new to the place and also the country
- How much the rules that are posted in the launderette can depict the society the new person has moved in?

3. Robert feels smell, of clothes, people, water, food. He perceives a lot of information through smell

4. Ioana looks at people's apearrance: clothes, pimples, face details (especially in women)
This shows a lot about her concerns and preocupations

5. Robert sees a guy leaving the bag inside unattended. He thinks the guy will worry for someone not to steal it
- this is Robert's concern, the guy showd no sign of woory. Robert projects his fears/concerns onto onther people

6. Robert heard a man comming. He thought he's a grumpy old man because the TV was showing horse racing. The man was actually a chinese young man.
