Wah Fu Apartments in Hong Kong

Life in Asia is hard to imagine for many Europeans, and when they take the effort to find out how ordinary people live there, in most cases they are shocked and their wildest imaginations are surpassed. BBC brought a report from the oldest and largest housing estate in Hong Kong. Property prices are the highest in the world here, yet a third of the city's inhabitants live in modest conditions in state-run apartment buildings and pay low rent. The Wah Fu estate (locally referred to as the microcosm of Hong Kong) was built according to Feng Shui principles, but in thirty-meter apartments, up to three generations of one family are crammed together. It would also be worth mapping the stories of residents from Czech, Slovak, or East German housing estates. Info>
