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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
“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.
@@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.
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
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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 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! 🤦
@@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.
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
@@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
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.
You are a delightful person. Absolutely the type of person that keeps a family and their friends happy and fills a room with intrigue and laughter. Thanks for being you!
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.
@@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
@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?
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. ❤️
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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 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.
"Maybe we're able to change our situation in a short time, but a lovely heart and a positive attitude are always what we get for free" Quite a beautiful way with words and a wonderful reminder, thank you 😊
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.
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 loved the ending with you and your guy. The happiness you show no matter where you are. This is what we all aspire to, but you guys are in love, and it shows.
Ngl i think it would be a nice place to live for single ppl/students that only need to stay there for a short while. Its small but you got the basics. The hallways look scary but its okay ig. You got a pretty nice community and all the necessities you need within a 10 min walk.
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! 🤍
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.
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
Thank you for that little glimpse into your life. I know not all of your videos will be as uplifting, but that was quite joyous and brought a little tear to my eyes.
It honestly doesn't look too bad! Kind of intimidating and the corridors are maybe a little apocalyptic, but it's neat to see how community prevails there.
How does this not look bad ? Its horrible. No room for kids , animals , exercise. Almost nothing but sleep and using you phone. God help you if there is a fire or pest problem.
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.
I am drinking a glass of whiskey and watch this video. It really reminded me what was home in Hong Kong when I was a kid. I am glad I am in America and never look back.
I used to live in a 140-unit apartment. They couldn't get rid of the big cockroaches and big bugs. Every year the online reviews state the same problems with bugs everywhere.
That's the life I want to live, so few people near my property that if I chose I could do yard work naked (which is a stupid idea and a great way to have nature fuck you up, but I like privacy).
The apartment is cute, having a boyfriend helps but my god! That into is exactly how I would expect my everyday coming and goings to feel like soon as I stepped foot outside my apartment door where cramped and tight seems to be the aesthetic.
You really made the apartment a comfortable place to stay with the right things despite the exterior and surrounding area. One can make anywhere home really. This made me count my blessings 🙏🏽
@@AetherealGirl Please do your research. Look up event 201. It was all planned. I know it's hard to believe for some, because they believe what they're told rather than looking into things. I REALLY hope you didn't take the 💉.... That's all I will say.
We actually have a LOT of greenery, HK is a bunch of small islands which means we have access to many famous hikes here - which we can also go on all year round due to mild winters, also a lot of camping areas and outdoor activities like rock climbing, abseiling, etc. My view is literally the ocean and mountains, I watch people wakeboard from my window daily. I also live a short walk away from 2 beaches, while living in a 'concrete jungle' with malls accessible within 5 minutes, and high speed trains that could take me to 10 other beaches, reservoirs, greeneries, within less than an where I can kayak, sail, windsurf, etc. One video on ONE building in ONE area does not show everything about our city. I feel lucky living in the perfect balance of a safe modernised city (as a woman I can walk around safely at 4am if I wanted to) with anything we can access as well as greenery and nature.
@@MuR1017 I adore how much cities like Hong Kong and Singapore have created cities with so much greenery. Seeing massive skyscraper buildings with plants hanging off them, so much bird life in urban areas, with the integration of nature trails close by. To me that is what all cities should be like.
@@MuR1017 hey, what do you think about HK in terms of work conditions? Is it difficult to find a decent-paying job? How are work hours? Is there anything you don't like about living there?
In Hong Kong up to the mid-1990s, there was a massive collection of apartments built haphazardly on top of others and bunched together, known as ''Kowloon Walled City'' The apartments in this video are relatively good compared to that place. There should be some videos on this place on yt.
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.
10,000 people in one building! I can’t imagine it! I would love to tour some of the apartments. A little glimpse we had of this couples apartment. It looks lovely.
It’s actually not so lovely inside the apartments. They’re small, and cramped with the owner’s possessions hanging on the walls or piled up against the wall. Still, people manage to have joy and happiness with families within their cramped walls
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
That was so cute how they decorated their apartment. However, I can't imagine living in a concrete jungle like that - nope open air spaces where you can breathe - a lake nearby and plenty of green instead of the grays and browns of concrete everywhere.
Actually, because the city makes money off of its land, less than 25% of Hong Kong's land is developed. Most of Hong Kong consists of hills, and untamed forested areas. City areas are vertically dense but you can easily see 100 foot skyscrapers in a backdrop of green mountains. Its also a coastal port (its name literally means 'Fragrant Harbor') so the ocean is literally everywhere.
We actually have a LOT of greenery, HK is an island - rather a series of islands, there are many famous hikes here that I grew up going on and camping areas and outdoor activities. My view is literally the ocean and mountains, I watch people wakeboard every single day, I also live a short walk away from 2 beaches, while living in a 'concrete jungle' with high speed trains that could take me to 10 other beaches, reservoirs, greeneries, within an hour where I can kayak, sail, windsurf, etc. One video on ONE building in ONE area does not show everything about our city.
When you live in a city like that you end up spending all your time outside your apt doing things like roaming the parks or going places. There's so much to do that you end up not spending a lot of time at home.
This building can be " HOME SWEET HOME " S2 😅 imagine there is no electricity and stuck in there, or maybe in Zombie Apocalypse 🤕 there's no way it's not a nightmare for me
If I lived in such a place I'd try to get an apartment that's on a low floor. I don't want to have to use an elevator that I could get trapped in and I want to be able to walk down just few flights of stairs to an exit. Not once but twice I've had the experience of being stuck in an elevator. The first time was only a few minutes, the second time maybe a minute or even a little less but after those experiences I prefer the stairs!
I lived my whole life in the country. If I ever go there I'll probably have a claustrophobia crisis. I'm already not feeling well from just watching on screen.
I don't think I would be happy here but you know, I can see the charm to it. For people who enjoy micro homes or people who are big into community I could see a situation like this, (maybe with some improvements like bigger elevators for starters) being pretty ideal. I especially like the idea of having shops and restaurants just downstairs from where I live. I also like how despite the lack of growing space (and daylight I imagine), people have still made an effort to keep greenery around. The entire place is very lived in and it shows; it's not some soulless, lifeless husk. I like your attitude that even if it's not the best, you can still make the most of it and enjoy your time regardless. Thank you for sharing!
I pretty much exist in my room. If it was a tiny bigger for a kitchen and place to eat that’s all I would need. I honestly looks comfy and nice community. But I would want to be a local to have real deeper relationships.
Quite a lot of Hong Kong has greenery around, it's one of my favourite parts about living here. One of the reasons that property prices are so high and people live in cramped conditions is because 63% of the land is protected, and I think only 7% of available land is used for residential purposes.
I'm a Floridian currently living in Asia in a tall apartment and after that hit home it does feel rather scary (I'm in Indonesia and living conditions are better here) however I can't see a tall building the same
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!
Saw a series about redoing apartments in Beijing I believe.. The places were very small and if more than two people were living there it was so tight. The architect who were trying to make more room and get the apartments more organized were geniuses!
i love how these people have a routine it’s so cool, like how the men silently play chess, those simple things i wouldn’t remember in my community like that
I was brought up mainly by a Chinese family from ages 2 to 6. Many of them have a nice, fairly peaceable way of living. I still feel right at home in Chinese neighborhoods. 🙂
Seems like I’m one of the few in this comment section that finds the building beautiful rather than creepy, cramped, or fascinating. I’ve always liked overcrowded spaces where everything’s arranged efficiently (but kinda haphazardly) and individual decor shines through. Also intersections of green vegetation and worn-down futuristic architecture.
Seeing your boyfriend enter the elevator, with people already inside, and no one wearing masks almost gave me a heart attack😲 Than I saw it's a video from 2019😂 I guess we'll only see how much the pandemic has affected us mentally once it's over.
I have a lot of dreams in which I'm wandering in buildings like this. It's not a nightmare, I'm not stucked or anything, it's just the way the world is in my dreams.
Interesting. Perhaps your dream is a vision and representation of the way the future of big cities will be like say 20-30 years from now. We will only have to wait and see.

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. :’(
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.
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 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
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

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
This building look soooo scary. I would never come in after dark.
I wanna go in when its dark now lol

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?
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. ❤️
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.

This seems very cozy and everything looks so intriguing
the thing that terrifies me about this is those hallways at night. horror movie material.
This is youtube suppose to be.
I agree!!! I enjoyed this video so much more
True
Which is why censorship must always be fought.
That hallway is literally where horror movies are made 😂
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
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...
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!!
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.
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 🥂
Yes my grandmother village, large old house and ricefield...😊..
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.
“A lovely heart and a positive attitude are always what we get for free.” This is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
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 💕

Wasn't that beautiful?
I came here to say that!! I'm glad someone else noticed it too!! 💖
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
Ngl i think it would be a nice place to live for single ppl/students that only need to stay there for a short while. Its small but you got the basics. The hallways look scary but its okay ig. You got a pretty nice community and all the necessities you need within a 10 min walk.
Maybe I'm just use to it idk. It depends on the person
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.
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.

Prayers from Kansas for the beautiful hardworking Hong Kong people. Thank you for this video.
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😰
The absolute anxiety this building gives me is insane
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.
@@mintyal1382 exactly

Thank you for that little glimpse into your life. I know not all of your videos will be as uplifting, but that was quite joyous and brought a little tear to my eyes.
It honestly doesn't look too bad! Kind of intimidating and the corridors are maybe a little apocalyptic, but it's neat to see how community prevails there.
“intimidating and apocalyptic,” yea not too bad. 😂😂
How does this not look bad ? Its horrible. No room for kids , animals , exercise. Almost nothing but sleep and using you phone. God help you if there is a fire or pest problem.
It's horrible horrible and horrible 🤢
Lmao what?
@@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777 Nah let them off, guy is saying shit about how it's no so bad when they're probably not even living in a place like it.
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 also live in a tiny, tiny studio with my boyfriend and I gotta say - fairylights make everything better :D
For sure!!
I am drinking a glass of whiskey and watch this video. It really reminded me what was home in Hong Kong when I was a kid. I am glad I am in America and never look back.
I would think any kind of pest infestation in a place like this would be impossible to get rid of
my thoughts exactly
I used to live in a 140-unit apartment. They couldn't get rid of the big cockroaches and big bugs. Every year the online reviews state the same problems with bugs everywhere.
in an apartment building of this size, all it takes is one resident to live a filthy lifestyle to ruin it for everyone else

The beginning suffocated and gave me anxiety.
I feel lucky living in the province where I can see endless greens and ocean as far as my eyes can see.
We actually have a LOT of greenery, HK is a bunch of small islands which means we have access to many famous hikes here - which we can also go on all year round due to mild winters, also a lot of camping areas and outdoor activities like rock climbing, abseiling, etc. My view is literally the ocean and mountains, I watch people wakeboard from my window daily. I also live a short walk away from 2 beaches, while living in a 'concrete jungle' with malls accessible within 5 minutes, and high speed trains that could take me to 10 other beaches, reservoirs, greeneries, within less than an where I can kayak, sail, windsurf, etc. One video on ONE building in ONE area does not show everything about our city.
I feel lucky living in the perfect balance of a safe modernised city (as a woman I can walk around safely at 4am if I wanted to) with anything we can access as well as greenery and nature.
@@MuR1017 I adore how much cities like Hong Kong and Singapore have created cities with so much greenery. Seeing massive skyscraper buildings with plants hanging off them, so much bird life in urban areas, with the integration of nature trails close by. To me that is what all cities should be like.
It *made you anxious
@@MuR1017 hey, what do you think about HK in terms of work conditions? Is it difficult to find a decent-paying job? How are work hours? Is there anything you don't like about living there?
In Hong Kong up to the mid-1990s, there was a massive collection of apartments built haphazardly on top of others and bunched together, known as ''Kowloon Walled City'' The apartments in this video are relatively good compared to that place. There should be some videos on this place on yt.
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.
10,000 people in one building! I can’t imagine it! I would love to tour some of the apartments. A little glimpse we had of this couples apartment. It looks lovely.
It’s actually not so lovely inside the apartments. They’re small, and cramped with the owner’s possessions hanging on the walls or piled up against the wall. Still, people manage to have joy and happiness with families within their cramped walls
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
Daaammn I hope you don’t need to go in such places then

I honestly love the community atmosphere and how the shops and mall are literally all right there.... It could use renovations though 😅
That was so cute how they decorated their apartment. However, I can't imagine living in a concrete jungle like that - nope open air spaces where you can breathe - a lake nearby and plenty of green instead of the grays and browns of concrete everywhere.
There are actually a lot of parks in HK
Actually, because the city makes money off of its land, less than 25% of Hong Kong's land is developed. Most of Hong Kong consists of hills, and untamed forested areas. City areas are vertically dense but you can easily see 100 foot skyscrapers in a backdrop of green mountains. Its also a coastal port (its name literally means 'Fragrant Harbor') so the ocean is literally everywhere.

If I lived in such a place I'd try to get an apartment that's on a low floor. I don't want to have to use an elevator that I could get trapped in and I want to be able to walk down just few flights of stairs to an exit.

I don't think I would be happy here but you know, I can see the charm to it. For people who enjoy micro homes or people who are big into community I could see a situation like this, (maybe with some improvements like bigger elevators for starters) being pretty ideal. I especially like the idea of having shops and restaurants just downstairs from where I live. I also like how despite the lack of growing space (and daylight I imagine), people have still made an effort to keep greenery around. The entire place is very lived in and it shows; it's not some soulless, lifeless husk.
I like your attitude that even if it's not the best, you can still make the most of it and enjoy your time regardless.
Thank you for sharing!
I pretty much exist in my room. If it was a tiny bigger for a kitchen and place to eat that’s all I would need. I honestly looks comfy and nice community. But I would want to be a local to have real deeper relationships.
Quite a lot of Hong Kong has greenery around, it's one of my favourite parts about living here. One of the reasons that property prices are so high and people live in cramped conditions is because 63% of the land is protected, and I think only 7% of available land is used for residential purposes.
If I was young and starting out, and well, knew the language, I think this would be a cool place to live, ngl.

Seems like I’m one of the few in this comment section that finds the building beautiful rather than creepy, cramped, or fascinating. I’ve always liked overcrowded spaces where everything’s arranged efficiently (but kinda haphazardly) and individual decor shines through. Also intersections of green vegetation and worn-down futuristic architecture.
Tbh it's actually look quite homey & cozy.
Yeah..I like it, too..but I grew up in the inner city..and that is home to me..not the country or suburbs
