There is a show on HGTV called "House Hunters International" and it follows various people who are looking for houses in other countries. If you get a chance, watch an episode so you can see how apartments and houses are set up in other parts of the world.
For example, the first time I went to Italy, I was struck by the size of the washers (way smaller than American washers) and the absence of dryers. Well, I have to say that my Samsung 8598NM is a very cool, front loading machine with a long spin cycle. It makes sense that the more spinning time, the less water in the clothes, because I hang my clothes on a drying rack. Right now it is very hot, so the clothes dry within a couple of hours.
The only main obstacle is my lack of knowledge of the French language. I've had to go to the download centers online to get the English versions of many appliances to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding some important instructions. I've been fairly fortunate to communicate with many hand gestures and the little bit of French I've picked up to order a half a kilogram of sliced roast beef and some turkey sausages (turkey is "dinde")!
Il regarde comme j'ai beaucoup de français à apprendre !
