At whatever your local equivalent of Walmart is, or a street market, buy a cheap set of pots and pans. You need little more than a big pot, a small pot and a frying pan. Ditto a cheap set of dishes and cutlery.

Google "cooking for beginners" for leads to websites and books

Take your dirty clothes, sheets and towels to a laundromat once a week. Virtually nothing really needs ironing.

It always seems so odd to me how people don't know how to do these things. I mean, because it's not like that complicated of an affair.

But I would say the best way as far as the cooking would probably be to think of the best meal that is also the easiest to make for all three meals... for example, for me that would be oatmeal and a banana for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a stir fry for dinner.

Oatmeal & Banana:
Oats in a bowl. Enough water (google). Microwave. Banana.

Sandwich:
Meat. Cheese? Lettuce? Tomato? Mustard? etc.

Stir fry:
Put a pan on medium high heat and put half a chopped onion in there, with half a chopped bell pepper and half a chopped tomato. Whatever else you want. Carrots. Potatoes. Then add some ground beef or turkey when the other stuff is reasonably done. It helps immensely to cover the frying pan while it's cooking, in fact this way you can even do it without oil if you just add some water to it (not a lot) so that it's steaming.
From longest cook time to shortest cook time...
Celery > Potatoes > Carrots > Broccoli/Asparagus/Cauliflower > Meat > Greens like lettuce or spinach

Anyway um yeah otherwise find stuff to snack on and you're set.

Laundry is super easy... as for ironing watch one youtube tutorial and you've got it.

I meant to say pick 3 things for your meals that are relatively easy but you also like them and then basically repeat them until you are sick of them. By that time maybe you'll be able to figure out how to make something else.
