Your “slum” area is very clean. I wish we have an area like that in California especially for the veterans.

[cancel.lgbtq.]

Even a slum in Japan looks 100x better than slums here in U.S. Our slums looked like 3rd world country here lol.

[Zergcerebrates]

That is hardly a “slum” when you compare it to the real slums in India and the Skid Row in Los Angeles

I like the way you speak Japanese. It's very easy to understand and pick out words to learn.

[lukedardo]

Crazy that your content is not popular yet. Keep it up, im gonna always comment your videos to get the algorithm going.

Ps: I love the fact that you speak slowly and spell words clearly, is very useful for people like me to learn japanese

a lot of people in the comments complaining that the slums he showed in Japan are not slums lol. you need to understand that this is considered slum to them. yes, it's different from your countries, but it's their slum. appreciate the difference, don't get defensive. just because you're poor and homeless doesn't mean you have to do drugs or be dirty. there are homeless people sleeping in makeshift tents and cardboard boxes in Japan. but they're not lazy or dirty like the typical image we have of a homeless person. they'd tidy up their areas first thing in the morning and then go to work or school or hangout. they'll pull out their boxes and find a place to sleep late in the night when there's no one around. that's why you rarely see them. they don't hang around on the streets looking like zombies in broad daylight like in your countries. they're almost invincible. but these days I heard there's a rise in runaway teenagers being homeless and living on the street, which has become quite a problem in Japan especially Tokyo.

That is a slum?!?! It looks so clean compared to Some cities in the USA. The homeless are so well behaved and organized. I a, impressed.

[MrRolandMichel]

[priscilamoraleda]

This is the cleanest slums compare to other countries.

[mjl]

Insightful watch and appreciate your thoughtful commentary/subtitles 🙏

[WhiteDragon]

Sometimes people fall on hard times. That area is very clean. You should see american slums where the police do not go in unless heavily armed and for short times only.

[GlompyVR]

[freeworld]

Actually, these “slums” are like Beverly Hills compared with those from other parts around the world.
