How many kitchen appliances do you own? Which one do you use the most? Why did basport get a thumbs up? A washer and Dryer are not kitchen appliances.

I have just moved into a new property. The kitchen appliances (Fridge, washing machine etc) have no obvious switches on the wall to allow the power to be switched on and off. There are the fuse sockets on the wall for each appliance. Does this mean i will have to remove each built in appliance to switch them on at the back or might there be a switch somewhere less obvious? Or might there be another reason no appliances are working? There is electricity.

I'm considering moving into a barebones, student style studio in Manhattan while doing a grad program. I've found some great deals, but none include real kitchens. They just have a sink, some counter space, and a fridge/mini-fridge. Other than a toaster oven, microwave, and Forman Grill, what sorts of smaller kitchen appliances would allow for the greatest variety, but take up the smallest amount of space.

As you enter a Walmart, the doors marked "Enter" are on the left and the doors marked "Exit" are on the right. Why is this the case when the entire country is right-hand oriented? You drive on the right side of the road; when walking at someone, you step to the right to pass, etc. I just don't get it.
