I certainly did notice the clothes washer in the kitchen. Actually, that's quite handy. I also noticed that it was capable of drying clothes too. Amazing! It also had no venting at all. Holy smokes! All American driers have venting!
I also loved your 220V power coming out of the walls. As you know, all red-blooded Americans love more power.
My wife loved the people and the landscapes. It is her fond wish to live there one day. Her people came from Ireland and Scotland so it's obvious that the land is beckoning her back.
