How To Be Homeless in Japan
Hard work, dignity, and an unexpected reward when the day is done.
In 2018, for the first time since The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare began keeping statistics, Japan’s homeless population dropped under 5,000 (N.B. Japanese NGOs claim that the real number is over 12,000). Twenty years ago it was over 25,000.
Since then, the Japanese government has passed legislation guaranteeing the homeless assistance in housing, health care, and seeking employment.
Unfortunately, the homeless are not eligible for welfare unless they can prove that their families are unable to support them, and most of the homeless don’t want their loved ones to find out their situation.
Why are there still homeless on Japan’s streets? In a country that values self -reliance, many homeless are too ashamed to seek assistance, preferring to hide from the public. Others do their best to blend in, riding the train endlessly or spending the night in furos (public baths) or internet cafes.
Those who do choose to live on the street rarely beg. They collect recyclables or sweep the streets and do other cleanup jobs. A few may find work as day laborers.
The average age of japan’s homeless population is just over 61 years old and virtually all of them are men.

The Hong Kong Story (History of Hong Kong 1841 to 1997 )

Shanghai People Living in Poverty - The China they DON'T want you to SEE!

00:00 abandoned electricity and gas plant
04:14 finding unusual toilet
05:30 exploring urban farm
06:15 abandoned locker room
09:44 conversation with farmer lady
13:23 conversation with sledge hammer sister
16:06 conversation with very poor woman
In this episode of Burbex, Brin and Senzuri explore a gas/electricity power station abandoned since the Communist era. Inside the duo find old Communist warning signs, some friendly farm animals, and an old lady with a wide selection of veggies maybe growing from her poop.
What's more, as they leave through the demolition areas that China doesn't want you to see, they encounter Shanghai people living in extreme poverty - old ladies smashing concrete for the recyclable iron rods inside. This is really the China that the Communist Party don't want you to see!

Poverty in South Korea (Those Left Behind)
Short documentary about the unspoken reality in South Korea by Max David Arenas Pedraza.
Although poverty doesn't seem too prevalent in such a wealthy country, there is a lot more behind Korea's economical miracle story. 48.3% of the elderly population live under poverty. Yes, almost half of people over 60 years of age struggle everyday to get by due to lack of social welfare programs and policies from the government and support from families who are rapidly losing the sense of filial piety that characterised Asian cultures.
10 Things NOT to Do in Hong Kong
Get more Tips here!
There are plenty of websites out there telling you what to see and do in Hong Kong. However, to experience the city at its fullest, you’ll also need to know what to avoid. Here’s a list of things NOT to do in Hong Kong.
1. Don’t Spit
Spitting is just not considered rude in China. Some believe it helps ward off evil spirits. However, cross over to Hong Kong and it is prohibited to spit in public. In fact, you can be fined up to HK$5,000 for doing so.
2. Don’t Assume Hong Kong is as Free and Open as the West
Despite it embraces more legal freedoms than the People’s Republic, some believe that e-mails are being monitored and Internet censorship is happening. Travelers should be aware of these rising tensions and be cautious about engaging in politically charged communications.
3. Don’t Overpay at Street Markets
Hong Kong offers a vast range of exciting street markets where you can buy just about any type of consumer good imaginable. Learn the art of haggling, you will often be able to buy things for little over half the asking price.
4. Don’t Take Taxis
It is an unnecessarily expensive way to get around, and it can take a long time to get anywhere through the gridlock. Instead, try using the efficient and affordable Mass Transit Railway, buy an Oyster Card if you’re going to use this several times.
5. Don’t Bother With the Sky Terrace
Instead of going to popular and overpriced tourist traps such as the Sky Terrace, consider the top of The Peak Galleria mall, it is free and the crowds are nil, also try Central Plaza, the Bank of China, Two IFC and One Island East.
6. Don’t Take the Peak Tram
The Peak is undoubtedly one of the best vantage points in Hong Kong, but taking the overpriced, over-crowded tourist tram up to the top isn’t the only way up there. Instead, if you’re fit, consider hiking up the hill using the designated footpaths.
7. Don’t Underestimate the Language Barrier
If you need to ask anyone for directions, try to find younger people to help, since they’re more likely to speak English. Taxi drivers rarely speak English, so have a map or written address on hand to convey where you want to go.
8. Don’t Forget about the Entry Requirements
Hong Kong has its own entry requirements. Citizens of the US and most western nations do not need any visa to visit Hong Kong for a period of less than 90 days. However, if you want to go to Shenzhen or other parts of mainland China, you will need a separate visa.
9. Don’t Bring Chinese Currency
While China uses the Yuan, Hong Kong still uses its own currency; the Hong Kong dollar. Although you shouldn’t have any problem changing money anywhere in the region. If you’re arriving via mainland China, you’ll need to withdraw or change some money as soon as you get to Hong Kong.
10. Don’t Neglect the Rest of Hong Kong
Venture into the New Territories and you’ll find traditional walled towns like Kat Hing Wa, fishing villages on Lamma Island, beaches in Lantau. Surf in Big Wave Bay, markets in Stanley and Repulse Bay. Visit Cheung Chau island and its Cheung Po Tsai pirate caves. There are lots of places to visit. Don't miss them!

Live in a pipe in Hong Kong
An architect in Hong Kong is turning concrete water pipes into temporary apartments. Hong Kong is a city with limited land and a constant housing shortage.
He calls his design the OPod, and it's intended to help ease the housing shortage in one of the most expensive cities on Earth.
The tiny house is fitted with all the amenities of home. Like shipping container conversions — the pipe design is stackable and fits housing on unconventional real estate.

BLOG:
As a black travel blogger who is also a serial expat I get the following questions often:
Where is the black expatriate community strongest? What are the best countries for black families to live? What are some African American-friendly countries/ countries that love black people? What are the best places for African-Americans to live abroad? Which are the best countries for black people to visit? What are the best places for black families to live? Which are the best countries for black tourists?
My next videos will attempt to answer these questions! In Episode 1 of my newest video series I'm interviewing young black expatriates living in Hong Kong, a country that is very welcoming to African-American expats.
In this clip, 5 black women shed some light on their journey to Asia, the best thing about living abroad, their fears prior to moving, the reactions from their family and friends, and whether Hong Kong is the best place to live as an African-American expat.
