not funny :(

Wasn't meant to be funny. More like a call for people to be grateful for what they have.

Prefer this view in Hong Kong:

I wonder what they're paying in rent on those cages? Seems like making pretty much any amount of money would be enough to avoid that situation...

I'm happier seeing humans in there then dogs.

Do you live in HK?

Are those pictures from like a Peru prison? I thought i saw those on Locked up abroad.

coming to a city near you

Pretty shocking, probably better than being on the streets though I would guess.

I have stayed in the Chung King Mansion.

Not as bad as those pictures, but an experience.

I can pretty much lay my head where ever. As long as it's nothing dangerous I can fall asleep.

No just visited. Awesome city!

looks more like a homeless shelter to me

or migrant workers who want to send every penny back home

Someone needs to tell that guy that sitting around moping all day isn't going to put money in his pocket. Oh woe is you, bro.

Still, it's sad to think that these people live in these conditions when they're out busting their ass working hard every da.... oh no, wait. :1orglaugh

As soon as I saw this I thought of that place.

Chinese migrant workers do live like this in many countries around the world. They save most of their money and in a couple of years they take a "loan" from the community and start opening or buying businesses like $1 dollar stores, bars and stuff.

Saw it on a documentary in an TV channel from Spain. These fuckers are taking over the world little by little.

looks like a puppy mill.

Would you believe there are prostitutes who have rooms in buildings like that? I've nailed plenty in shit hole buildings in HK, but the girls were hot.

not funny at all. at all.

Yeah, because this thread = $5 submissions clearly touting himself as the latest Richard Pryor or George Carlin. :eek7

dont think it is funny to see people living in cages. kind of a sick way to spam the board.

poor people

would be cool if you wanted bars on your home

You do have to respect their ability for delayed gratification, sacrifice to a bigger goal other than their selves. Hard work, discipline, paying one's dues, looks like these are ingrained in many Chinese. No wonder the Hokkien and other Chinese minorities figure strongly Southeast Asia's economies.

My takeaway: Be grateful for what you have and realize that it's always not as bad as it seems. Everyone has the seed of greatness in their hands. It all depends on what they do with it. Many of these Chinese migrant workers are the parents of future taipans or laying the groundwork for something big... in the future. The future is built on sacrifice and hard work and self-denial.

The guy probably was just covering his face from the camera.

In Chinese factories there are dorms like this for the workers, this is probably a factories dorm or building. It's documented on pbs.org in an episode titled China Blue. I think it was an Independant Lens episode. Lots of forced overtime, pennies a day wages, 2 sets of books to show foreign investors who would frown on the actual conditions and their gov. But they had an extra daughter and it was either go to the city to find the job or live an entire life on meager the family home/plot of land. This is how stores can have every day low low prices on things.

That man is going to be 60 or 70 years old. If he wants to mope, let him mope.

you should see the puta flop houses here... no furniture, room full of girls sleeping on the floor, place rents out for around 3500 pesos a month, 90 bucks about... and they all split/share that so they have somewhere to crash when theyre working the big city

Other than being a bit dirty, I dont see the overall big deal honestly.
If I didn't have much money, I would be happy enough to have a place to sleep and at least store my stuff while I was out working or whatever...

The cages I'm sure are to keep their belongings secure while they are gone... each bunk is their personal space, so its like walls/doors for a bigger apartment, just smaller.

I could see the landlord spending a bit of money in upgrading the cages to cleaner looking / more modern cages, and painting the walls, cleaning the floors and that place would be great... like a modern hotel in tokyo people pay for at the airports.

I agree. There seems to be a lot of "capsule" living/sleeping areas being created. Honestly its much better than having homeless people in the streets.

iPhone factory workers:disgust

Sad thing is, he's only 28-years old.

Doesn't look much different than how people live in Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, India ... They are the 99%. You, in your house with a damn yard, are the 1%.

Is that public housing for the iPod factory? oops someone beat me to the joke.

Did you hear those people make like 10 dollars a month?

lol, all this ipod factory hype by a bunch of uninformed idiots is really getting old


most people working in these factories make around 1600 - 2000 rmb a month wich equals to $250 - $315 a month, wich is quite a good salary

Jesus :helpme

same thoughts

The only unbearably small thing are some minds ...

looks more like a old folks apartment....dont u guys have those in your cities ? run down areas where the poorer old people use their meager pensions to rent cheap shabby places to live

As comfortable as the PA compound?

HKG's night life is good and the restaurants are always packed because people like like that and need to get out.

Move away from the big city and live on the land.

I'm all about it. :thumbsup

They have Air conditioners

blame the tubes!!!!1111

Not a pretty view indeed.

Not funny.... not a pretty site
