Even the ghosts in those buildings will get lost.
I laughed so hard ...lol😂
Lmaooo

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONES NIGHTMARE CHRIST WHAT A HELLHOLE 🦇🦇🦇
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a DoorDasher and this is like what nightmares are made of
Lmao right! I would just give up and call support and go back to the car to cry. You should watch the doc on the food delivery scene in China, it’s way more stressful than in the states. The time crunches and expectations are insane.
I legit feel sorry for y'all. That's why I always try to tip and if I can meet y'all to the door or on the street I will.
@@crystalmethany6286 omg what is it called
I work at doordash costumer support and most dasher are terrible at there job I must say xD
@@gfdchugh nah I was speedy Gonzales racing to each house. Every time I would contact y’all for a canceled order or a missing customer... y’all could never help. Y’all just ran through your little customer service script talking about “im sorry for the inconvenience but we can not process half pay unless you take the food back to the restaurant” meanwhile I just received another order which I would be late picking up if I had to go back to the store and drop the old food off. Doordash is greedy! Most agents would just let me give it to homeless or eat it for lunch. But some of y’all agents are terrible.
I’m just imagining a fire, earthquake, any natural disaster and trying to get all the ppl freed. I’m beyond claustrophobic right now.
Yeah. I couldn’t do it. I need space
Beside US most of the world is essentially like this, especially Europe and Eastern Europe
@@NeonAstralOfficial it can be pretty dense, but NOT THAT DENSE
I would buy one of these rope ladders and store it under my bed (If I lived in a reasonable floor level). I would also buy a fireproof box to hold my valuables.
I thought the same thing, earthquake bomb, fire, earthquake!!
This was very skillfully done. In less than ten minutes you managed to make me not only understand the space but also make me feel like as if I myself had lived there. Seeing the old footage at the end even gave me a sort of wistful nostalgia to a place I’ve never been and people I’ve never met. Kudos to you. I’ll be sure to visit Hong Kong someday.
Imagine ur best friend live in the same building but u need a map every time you go visit them
Omg a maze to your bestie lol
I think I may need a map just to get me outside of the building. It may be crowded, but it has a lovely community. The grandpas playing chess prove that.
🤣 omg thats CRAZY 🤯
Where do you buy your N95 mask? 😷
Imagine a fire happening
i can't even begin to describe how lost i would get in that building.
i would have a panic attack everyday trying to find my way out lmfao
Me too 😱
lmaoo the intro made me panic 😩
I won't get out from the Labyrinth 😵
Million of people live like that! If you had to you would too!
I was staying in one of those not as big in Korea i wa shoook
I lived in a 12x10 studio with my partner for over 5 years. It was a challenge at times, especially because he is 6ft4 but you find happiness in your own way of life and do the best you can! Take pride in what you’ve accomplished 💕 and take care!
I honestly teared up when you spoke of having a happy heart and positive attitude in times when situations are less than ideal. I've been there too. Your video is very well done. So pleasant to watch. So many of these I have to shut off as the announcer or music is just too obnoxious. Well done you 2. Sending love from California.
Haan😮😮😮
Imagine filming a zombie movie in a building like this...
There's a movie called Alive, which is zombies in an apartment complex, basically
@@mishimaro5423 alive is a very very nice movie, i enjoyed it so much !
Zombies will just give up and go vegan
Forget about the zombie. It's too much effort to hunt for human here
There's a Hong Kong zombie movie called Rigor Mortis literally in a building like this
”a murder has happened in this buildings we need to investigate it”
“Good luck finding it”
Funniest thing someone had ever commented is this😂😂
🗿
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Police : we gonna ignore that
lmaooo
Honestly, if you're a single person who is a student or is starting out your career, this is such a great place. The small studio forces you outside, which makes you interact with your neighbors and store owners.
Forces you to spend more money too.
@@KFrost-fx7dt only reason to spend money will be food.
Being in home isn’t supposed to be stressful.
no thank u
@@Edhiluesexactly
“A lovely heart and a positive attitude are always what we get for free.” I am very sick from living in substandard housing right now, and I need to remember this. It’s difficult to be pleasant when you are sick.
There is something comforting in seeing the same faces everyday (grandpas and grandmas playing and talking, women and men who do laundry, grocery)... this is what some people wish for in the US- to know neighbors and to feel safe. Your home- inside and out- is cheerful, calming and feels like home!
Thank you :)
@@DongDongWu dingdong wu😂😂😂😂
@@mehchocolate1257 bruh

Yeah. American here in one of the most crime ridden cities around, and in the top 10 most dangerous. (Milwaukee, WI) I've lived here all 46 years of my life, and in the early to mid 90s, all sense of community left.. Nobody wants to hang out on their neighbors porch anymore and watch neighborhood kids play till sundown.. (They can't)
Nobody gets to know anyone. It's just glares and stares nowadays..
Having seen it before and after, friendly people who said hello, to people who intentionally walk into you just to start a fight.. It's really sad at what things have become.
The pro: you're never alone.
The con: you're never alone.
Pro: death is only a jump away
Con: someone might catch you and you might survive

aww snap, that means everyone gonna hear my loudass snoring smh
Looool ❤️
🤣😂🤣
I feel like the internet makes this place seem like some horror show crawling with bugs and disease. But it is actually a lot more pleasant on the inside than you would think. Coming from someone living in a "trashed" narrow apartment building in downtown tokyo, it really is a case of "don't judge the book by it's cover"
The sense of community (and the quality of the studio apartment that was shown here) really is wonderful compared to other places.
I've seen the inside as well and it looked like a terrible place to live.
You guys maybe be living in a not very nice building now, but both of you’re definitely one of the cutest couple I’ve seen, with your positive mind set and the love you have for each other, this reality will change that’s for sure, keep dreaming 💕
I feel claustrophobic just watching this video. God forbid there is ever a fire.
Actually fire are usually manageable because it's all concrete, and it takes no time for fireman to come.
Fire isn’t the problem. I’d be afraid of an earthquake.
@@carressa that is indeed correct
You're claustrophobic ... ?
I suppose you haven't seen "cage homes" yet huh ?
Spoilers - that sort of "housing" is ubitiquous in HK as well
@@carressa Hong Kong doesn't have earthquakes.
Many years ago I was told by a friend that if everyone living in Hong Kong went out into the street at the same time there wouldn’t be room to stand for everyone
That is very believable.
if everyone living in India came on the streets you can literally transform yourself into burj khalifa by sitting on each others head cause i believe the floors would be already occupied
@@nidhi.mp4 382 person per sq km, so u are factually incorrect.
But I admit Population is a problem until we use it in a productive way.
@@vscodium1751 not necessarily. How much of that sq km is occupied by buildings and other infrastructures?
Ahh so vertical space to the rescue. Dayumn!
Wow this video was awesome! Love your energy, your positive attitude, you gies are both so cute. I have a better understanding and outlook about this living situation. Thank you for existing! ❤
This lady’s voice is so warm and endearing, loved watching tyvm.
The beginning looks like an old prison
a haunted prison 😲
An asylum
i thought it was at first
i read "person" and had a tough time trying to understand this comment
China in general..
I was kinda worried when she was running in a such a narrow hallway. If someone swings a door open it would've probably knocked her out.
Doors usually open inward, hopefully there too 😅
Doors open inward
That’s why you got to out run the doors
That’s Hong Kong for you!!
God yes
The intro to the video is just fantastic! :)
Lovely video. Great editing at the beginning. I really transported myself in the story then it was over to quickly. You two are lovely. All the best.
Seems like the community on Netflix's Sweet Home. Without the monsters, of course.
no monster is the building
@@viiizzaalishvili9967 Really? I misunderstood then. I thought the monsters were inside of each person that was struggling with some unresolved pain. I got a little confused, but I enjoyed it.
@@lynnellscott9079 it was a joke
@@viiizzaalishvili9967 ok.
Haha totally
I love how she actually made this video about the building and the people living in it, the whole environment, that really took me to how it actually would be to live there, and not just about herself; the people in a place are always the best way you can get to know it. Thank you for your video!! I enjoyed it a lot
Repent to Jesus Christ!

I would love an hour long documentary by her. She could pay wall it and I'd pay to see it. So interesting and she's a great narrator!
@@jesusislord6545 If you call having to live in one of these horror movie sets being "blessed" than your more delusional than a 90 yr old with dementia.
lol she speaks to not one single person who lives there,,,,
To see such tiny and crowded apartments it make me feel how great I am as Indonesian. I know my job is just a nanny in hk but compared to majority rich hongkongers my house a lot biger and still we own land and rice fields. Well this video got such positive vibe 🥂
I watched 3 minutes of your video ( 1st I've seen from you) and I'm hooked! Well done :)
To be honest, except the tiny room, the whole community seems pleasant to live here. Seeing those grandmas and grandpas peacefully playing, no fancy looking building, I feel like just sitting outside could make you feel less stressed and more at peace.
Like you said it seems as if time stops :)
It is the opposite for me.
I hate cities. Too many people and too much stuff going on.
And the noise 😖
It made me miss playing Mah Jongg in person. And no I’m not a grandma. Young people play it, too.
Yes...... Just mundane peaceful life is what all wish for.....
In America, living in a cheap apt means hearing police pull up once a week.
I felt kinda sad looking at the mahjong grandmas because there were at least 3 people taking pics of them like they were at a zoo
I can't imagine carrying furniture or appliances through that narrow hallway.
you wouldnt, most of those places have some basic furnishings, and does it look like youre gonna have any appliances in there? hell no. maybe a hot plate, dassit
The only way to bring furniture in ould be to carry it dismembered then build it inside rip
@@IDontKnow-pf6en that’s cool and everything but the original comment still stands as to how furniture got carried in the furnished apartment in the first instance
Solution: Ikea 🤣
@@emma.e probably, the wash bag was also from Ikea
Very nice narration and engaging
Enjoyed the tour !
Kowloon is long gone but these kinds of cramped dense city-like buildings are so intriguing to me. I always have crazy dreams about exploring labyrinthe structures like that.
you should ask the dream people about themselves; maybe something interesting comes up?
Same!
I also have dreams like that.. I love them
That hallway is literally where horror movies are made 😂
I can't imagine what it would be like for Paramedics trying to get to a critical patient & get them out with all their gear through those narrow walkways 😳 Or firefighters trying to evacuate all those people before the whole thing burns down! 🤦
It definitely seems like a fire hazard
I was wondering how maintenance goes about? Imagine trying to fix electrical things in that building before it starts a fire. Scary.
Firs hazard? Bruh those rooms are made of cement if a fire caught somewhere it wouldn’t spread all over
@@rordongamsey3057 It spreads through the electrical (if that's how it starts) so yeah it can spread throughout the place. People and furniture aren't made of cement so they can burn but the smoke is what actually kills people.
@@rordongamsey3057 I've seen some nasty videos of burning high-story buildings in China... Not fun
This gives me chills not only because of the building itself, but also because of the style in which the author presents. Her voice is calm, tone-hopping yet monotonous, just like in Possibly in Michigan. And the building looks quite liminal (additionally, there are way less people in the hallways than I could expect to walk here), unsettling and out of this world. This is kinda hypnotizing
thanks to the algorithm for bringing me here. Absolutely loved the video and your vibe :)
My room is bigger than their entire apartment and I still sometimes complain about not being able to fit inside all the stuff I want, it made me realize how grateful I should be, I am grateful.
I have a tiny bedroom myself. Barely big enough for a bed and a desk. We all need enough space to live our lives comfortably. We all work hard enough to deserve at least that. Don't feel bad!
@Dru Baxter you sound like a troll 😂
I honestly understand. I decided this year if I haven’t used something in 6 months I don’t need it! Donate it! I want to get to the point of RV lifestyle. Being great full for anything is a beautiful heart.
The point of utilitarian homes are they only rent those to work in the city. They still have the countryside home where grandparents and kids live. Their real home. Not really advisable for long term living esp with kids. Of course times have changed and some people would rather crammed themselves in these tiny homes than live far apart.
My whole apartment is like someone’s bathroom. :’(
This building look soooo scary. I would never come in after dark.
I wanna go in when its dark now lol
Imagine a power outtage
@Digby Dooright oh yeah 😬
Watch love death robots the witness this is what it reminded me of
Relax, it's in East Asia so it's likely safe. Just be glad it's not in Africa or some American Cities.
Prayers from Kansas for the beautiful hardworking Hong Kong people. Thank you for this video.
Really cool editing style. I enjoyed it, and the soft spoken narration was a plus. Very nicely done. First video I've seen from you guys - and, already subscribed. Hope the views will help you guys with monetization and thus, a bit, with your day to day expenses. Cheers!
“Maybe we’re not able to change our situation in a short time, but a lovely heart and a positive attitude are always what we get, for fee” well said 😢
I lived in Hong Kong for two years and I can literally smell this video 😂😂😂
Damn, that's disturbing!
omg nooo
kind of curious, what does it smell like?😆
what is the smell like?
What’s the smell?? Sesame oil? Smog?
Love your apartment, the wooden table is practical and that plus the different tones of green give it a cozy vibe.
Love you guys ❤️ thanks for sharing this!
The idea of sleeping here makes me feel really cozy for some reason, like a place to disappear as no one would ever be able to find you..
I felt that too
That sounds terrifying
Yes no loan sharks behind your door 😆😆
Exactly Exactly it's for me for those reasons
or the loan sharks make you disappear for you; inside the building. who is to ever find you 0~o well at least until it starts to smell
What if there's fire? Imagine trying to escape that narrow hallway while pushing through many of your neighbors.
most buildings like this have exterior fire escapes that scale the outside of the building. You've def seen those big metal staircases that go down in case of fire and up in case of a large flood.
In the U.K. people are given large apartments and houses, with natural light in every room, for free and they live like animals, fearing for their lives every time they go out. Council estates are more like prisons than civilised communities, where crime and drugs are rampant. Quality of life isn’t about buildings, it’s about the people living in those buildings.
@@AdFunk i'm just mentioning what would happen if ever there's fire
@@AdFunk What does this have to do with anything :/
they die ha
I really really liked this thank you. Now I kinda wanna live there tbh. Great footage and information.
This was short but really interesting to see. I didnt realise this building had so much below it with shops etc. Really nice what you did with the apartment!
Lol the intro actually made me scared of actually living there... imagine walking home at night 😩 I'm glad you found a way to make your little apartment look (and I'm sure feel) so cozy! 🤍
I don’t have to imagine, I live in Hong Kong!
Yes it's eerie and bleak
I was imagining being chased by a creeper. Getting lost. I felt panic watching that.
Once a guy who used to live in downtown Tokyo came to visit me in Australia. I took him out for a drive into the wide open spaces. He has an attack of agoraphobia which is usually associate with a fear of wide open spaces. He thought he was in danger of floating up into the sky. We had to keep a hold on him. He just wasn't used to such open spaces.
Today on “Things that Didn’t Happen”
@@b4Sed1593 I live in australia and its honestly not that hard to believe. The country is extremely flat with very few hills or mountains, and when you're in the middle of nowhere, in completely flat land and the sky is clear and blue above you, it makes you feel really sick and dizzy. I can fully imagine someone having a panic attack over it
understandable, he was in Australia he was in real danger
@Freja Lindberg There isn't a single place in japan comparable to the open spaces you get in Australia. When you get to these places in australia out in the middle of nowhere, the ground is completely flat and you're often the tallest object off the ground for dozens of miles. It is extremely disorientating, as you can sort of see the earths curve and realise that you're closer to space than anything else around you, like it feels like you're going to fall off the planet. Its like being scared of heights, but instead of being on an actual height, from your frame of reference you're at the furthest point from earth
@Freja Lindberg No need to prove you are as stupid as you look. I don't need to lie. Why would I? Fro what gain? To impress the likes of a nobody like you? Were you there with me at the time?
Inside of your apartment is so cute! Thank you for sharing.
love your narration style, storytelling technique 10/10
I stayed with a friend who lives in one of these mega buildings in Hong Kong (I’m American) and even though the living conditions were very cramped and the hallways kinda creepy, it was nice to have everything you need right outside instead of having to get in the car and drive. Maybe it would encourage a homebody like me to get out more.
I agree. It sucks living in Houston and having to drive to get literally anything. I wish I could walk
Blame zoning for that. Americans still follow zoning laws made in 1940 which only benefits developers
@@callingbell-ix5se Oh I know. Anything to make a buck. Plus apparently once you become a homeowner you’ll fight against anyone who wants to put in affordable homes, mini marts and other such development in your neighborhood to keep out the “undesirables”. Everyone’s out for themselves for the almighty dollar. So sick of it.
@@ThinnkTwicce lol Houston is still a city, or burbs. Try living rural, I have a farm, I worked downtown Atlanta on 17th floor so I know both worlds, I like mine better now
Having to take a car to do anything is such an urban planning failure...
So glad I got out of Hong Kong. I loved it and still do but the crowds stepping on me and kicking me, the rude people, the stress and the high cost became too much for me. Now overseas on lower income I live so much better with space for a garden, polite neighbors, peaceful surroundings and more time for me! It took me time to detox from Hong Kong but now when I return to visit family i begin to tense up as I walk out of airport. I was not meant to live there forever. Love you Hong Kong. I'll never forget you.
Selfish to want your own space. Life is not owning you anything
@@natedill9180 what makes you think that.
Nate dill are you kidding?
@@natedill9180 selfish? no. what’s selfish is you putting someone else down because of your own insecurities.
@@natedill9180 are you okay?
"A lovely heart and a positive attitude are always what we get for free"....I love that
I love when you do your little runs! So cute :)
the thing that terrifies me about this is those hallways at night. horror movie material.
I’m obsessed with fully functioning communities like this
It's true. The British packed hongkongers like pigs in a sty-> tightly packed cheap animals used as a tax farm.
Let me guess, you live in a disfunctional community in America ?
Same. You're exactly right, it's a community. I think my mom grew up in one of these.too bad she passed without me knowing anything about it.
SAME
Heck nooo too many chances for weirdos
That place seems nice to live at.You both look happy and that's all you need! I hope to go there one day.
Thanks for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.👍😁

True

What a beautiful attitude you have! And you’re a great storyteller 😊
Despite the condition of this building initially making me feel like it would be my worst nightmare, the life you and your partner have there during this time seems like it will make some truly happy memories. You’ll look back on this time someday and maybe you’ll live in much better conditions but you’ll still feel nostalgic for this unique place that was like no other and how you made a home there. ❤️
The absolute anxiety this building gives me is insane
I love your positive spirit. Thank you for sharing this. 💕✨💕
Wow. I would love to visit and see that place for myself. By the way, your personality makes this video that much better.
This place is fascinating. Like you said, everything is here so you don’t need to go far. Love the trail right next to the Monster Building.
We love the convenience :)
Fascinating is definitely not the word I was thinking of. Ughhh😰
This is the most genuine video I have ever seen on UA-cam. It was as if receiving vlog from a friend on how life in Hong Kong is.
I agree.May I suggest Jonna Jinton from Sweden channel if you love great content and incredible cinematography that will bring tears to your eyes.I'm trying to find one good channel from each country,to see what life is like there(I'm too poor to travel) I'm glad to find DongDong representing China.

I could never be positive sharing such a small space with another human that relationship would be over in one month. Good for them though.
Yup as long as the bare necessities of life are met, happiness is just a state of mind. The pursuit of meaningless things is what tends to make us unhappy.
@@ASHERUISE I grew up in a very dense city in Europe where living conditions are not too different (at least in comparison to NA). Having lived in NA since 12 I used to think the same. Could not give up my house with a nice backyard etc. what you have to remember is that such living conditions encourage one to do a lot more of their living outside their apartments, it’s why everyone eats out more often and meets in public places. It does encourage more engagement.
Thank You for this video! Super interesting!
really enjoyed your video , the most precious thing you have is each other , your very lucky!
I love her phrase “ a lovely heart and a positive attitude are free”
Wasn't that beautiful?
I came here to say that!! I'm glad someone else noticed it too!! 💖
There is a fine line between the apartments yet there is a massive line between the rich and the poor. Honestly, just as you said, a lovely heart and a positive attitude is all people really need for a home.

It's actually pretty charming. Going through the building feels like an adventure.
This reminds me of where I live on the opposite side of the world. During Yugoslavia across the river from Belgrade New Belgrade was made. Massive gray communist style building block. Foreign tourists often come here to stare in ave and take pictures of it. Totally confused by how people live in those gray depressing looking buildings, but what they don’t get is that every apartment inside is customized by the people living there, be it a fancy modern decorated studio apartment, a eclectic colorful apartment of an artist whose friends gather there for drinks every night, or a 3 bedroom duplex with vintage wallpapers that contains all the memories of an elderly couple. We don’t see it as a weird place like the tourists do, we see it as our homes where we took our first steps, where we fell off our bikes for the first time, the tree behind which we had our first kiss... I guess you see “the monster buildings” the same way, as home.
Anybody can get used to anything if they grew up with it. It's like people from England talking about how big houses in America are. What you grew up with is normal. What they grew up with is normal. People are surprised to see other people living in a different way. It's just a fact of life.
yes this reminds me of Serbia and Belgrade . University days ...
I have a phobia of too many tall buildings. NYC freaks me out. Visited once and refused to look up. It gives me the feeling of being trapped in a box you can't reach to get out. The Monster Building would be a nightmare for me.
Nyc isn’t for everyone but if you open up to it you will discover more culture, knowledge, architecture, art, nightlife, and cool people than anywhere else is the States

Amazing how different this building looks from your point of view. I've seen other videos where you are left with the impression that the building is just horrible. But your video shows that there are actually quite nice things about it. Sure, not the best of living conditions, but not nearly as bad as other videos have made it out to be.

For sure!!

I'd rather live poorly in a village up there on a mountain and eat boiled potato every day than live in a room that feels like a birdcage. For me nature is the richest thing we have ever had. What's the good thing about Starbucks and malls if we always return to that apartment every night?? P.s. I have mild claustrophobia. The first clip really terrified me
True. Nature is where we all belong :)
Then pray you can afford in the future, owning a house is expensive and renting cost even more
My mother is from Hong Kong and hated the malls and tight apartments. She moved the Canada because she loves nature and open spaces lol.

not everyone can move to canada..
