Clean but Dirty, or Dirty but Clean

Every morning I see people washing cars. There is a kid who washes our company car every day (yes, by hand). I was thinking that this was all very silly and a waste of water, but I realized that it is so dusty here that you actually do need to clean every day.
And then I noticed that people clean all the time, they sweep outside every day, they clean off windows every day, there is a guy who is constantly cleaning our office.
It definitely is dirty here, and by that I mean literally dirt, it is dry (even with the rains) so there is a film over everything if you don't clean daily; and people definitely will throw trash on the ground, but somehow with all the cleaning everyone does it is sort of a clean dirty, or a dirty clean depending on your perspective.
I'm sure in the winter it is less dirty but for now I'll just be happy that someone cleans my apartment every day because I am waaaay too lazy to get down and wash a floor daily.

oh - saw a monkey again today. :)
