It May Be Hard to Believe, but People Actually Live in These Houses #2

If you're home right now, could you do me a favor? Just take a look around you, look at all the things you have in your house, like your bed, your kitchen, your bathroom or whatever there is, take a look and appreciate. what they have because, as everyone knows, there are millions and millions of

people

in the world who don't really have a house and it's sad to see, and then there are those who have the most extravagant ones possible and we really think about the past, and then there are those

people

who have

houses

, but they're not exactly the most standard affairs you can imagine, so with all that in mind, here are the 20 strangest places where people

actually

live

. favellas may be

hard

to

believe

, but people

actually

live

in these

houses

, it may not be so

hard

to

believe

, given that they look like houses, but when you see the stacked styles of favellas in Brazil, at least you understand that this is not the A typical lifestyle seen around the world is houses that are practically stacked on top of each other and paints a unique picture, even if it is one that highlights the problems in Brazil.

Favellas are also known as slums. from most Brazilian cities and that is why if you visited Brazil they would tell you not to go to these places because there are dangerous people there and they would want to take advantage of you, so another rule that you get from people who know the area is to go with someone who knows what's going on because if you're just wandering around you're bound to end up getting in trouble because you don't know the rules, but with a guide you can see some really good parts of the favellas and that's something to point out, even though they are the slums , there is a large artistic community with the favellas that has grown over the years, as many have noticed after visiting the place, this spark of creativity is because they need to have something. to potentially help them with their situation, what is possibly the saddest part about the favellas is that they are really crammed into these stacked houses, one of the largest in all of Brazil, it houses 100,000 people and it's not exactly a large space to live .

So what we have here is A Tale of Two Houses, so to speak. Yes, it is a place that can be attractive if you endear yourself to the local population and a creative space for those who want to try to do something with their lives, but it is also an example of how many nations will simply push their people to the outskirts and simply They will hope they survive before continuing like this video.

How about we spice it up now with some of the next? If you go to China, especially southeast of Datong, you finally come across a mysterious wonder known as The Hanging Temple of Hang Sham. It's called The Hanging Temple because it's literally built into the rock face of the nearby mountain and many people wonder how gravity hasn't pulled it down, but it hasn't. It has been there for quite some time, plus the temple is not small, it has over 40 rooms and a lot of corridors that you can walk through if you are brave enough to climb up to it.

The temple is said to have been built by a monk during the last Northern Wayy dynasty, which existed between 386 and 534 and was restored in 1900, it was built by drilling holes in the cliffs into which the poles supporting the temple are placed. Now imagine that for a moment a monk was able to drill holes in a mountain long before high-powered drilling tools were made and then only basic poles were used to keep the temple afloat. That's not just creativity, it could also be genius because monks don't get enough credit for their brilliance. Another interesting element of this temple that is still in use to this day is that Confucianism, Taism and Buddhism are practiced there.

Traditionally, temples like this would cater to one belief system, but this one opens its doors to multiple beliefs, which is very progressive. Oh, and how we forgot to mention it before everything. It's 30m above the ground and what we have here is the perfect representation of a monk's dedication and how far people are willing to go for their faith and you know, since the temple is still standing, who are we? to deny his faith and dedication number 18 sanil de labas now I just showed you a place that was built on the side of a mountain but how about I show you some places that were built under and under a canyon?

This is a unique white town in Spain that actually has houses. placed in and below the canyon Rock faces that are so numerous that there are parts where you can literally see huge rocks hanging over and the houses that support them. Oh, and by white town I mean the color of the houses that dug the canyon. an ancient stream that is much smaller today, but due to its manual work, the place was perfect for having olive groves and other agricultural places, such as wineries, for which this place was originally known, although in recent times it has decreased in wine making, it is actually still beautiful. to see and has quite a few sights and wonders, including again the houses that are in and under the giant rocks.

Honestly, it's a little strange to see all the rocks that people just casually walk under, but that just reflects how safe people feel and how safe they are. In the construction of the houses, one thing that should be mentioned is that there are parts of this place that are above ground and canyon, including a beautiful tower that people love to visit, but even when you look at the place from a view side. It is incredible to see the houses both above and below the canyon line, if anything, this is a testament to human engineering and the ability to build a home anywhere they wish, something we will highlight quite a bit as we go along. .

With this list number 17 Sealand, have you ever wanted to start your own country right? Don't be afraid to say yes because many of us have dreamed of ruling our own Roost on a grand scale and showing how true leadership works. We all know that some nations definitely need better leaders, but in the case of Sealand this is both a country, a principality, and a unique story of what some people decided to do with a floating military fortress. It all started in 1943, when the British government built a rough tower. a floating military fort that was meant to help them during World War II and eventually, once the war ended and the use of Ruff's Tower ended, it was abandoned until a group of Pirate Radio people came in and started making his own musical thing, which is Patty Roy Bates, quite badass, after evicting the Pirate Radio people, he decided to do things bigger and better by creating the independent principality of Sealand and was very adamant about it to the point that When some British tried to invade his waters to set up a buoy, he and his son opened fire on them, they took him to court, but on technicalities the platform was outside British waters and therefore they could not be charged.

In 1975 he introduced a constitution for the southeastern lands followed by a national flag and a national anthem. a currency, passports and an immigration stamp, and it gets even stranger because there was a coup attempt to remove him and his family from power in Sealand and that was actually rejected and there are some places that recognize him as the smallest country in the world. to this day and people don't really know what to do with all this, but if you go to the official website of it, you are invited to be a part of it and you can even get a noble title.

I mean, sure, why not the floating number 16? villages in Cambodia from a floating country to a collection of floating villages, we now head to Cambodia for another unique look at life, specifically, we will look at the people who live on the Tonl Sap Lake and literally have floating houses through which They try to live, which is not easy at all, but why? The reason these villages exist in the first place was because of a regime change that was forcing people of multiple ethnic backgrounds who were in the country for work to return home, except they couldn't. and because they were not legal residents of Cambodia, they could not buy land to try to live on, so they simply built houses on the lake, where they have enough to survive and use the lake and its many resources to try to obtain every day They work on the lake, sell goods on the lake, travel and even wash themselves and their property in the lake's waters and although many consider these floating villages to be a tourist attraction, it is more of a reminder of how far away it is. people. they are willing to go just to have a place to be and live yakut number 15 now i honestly don't know how to pronounce that word but i tried well let me ask you a question: how cold are you now?

I mean, depending on what season and area you live in, it could be pretty cold or something or nothing at all, but if you live in this place in Siberia, which I can't pronounce, you wouldn't even know what heat is because it's the coldest. city ​​in the whole world now I know that Siberia is cold on its own, yeah, that's why it's not really one of the most populated places, but here in this place there are over 300,000 people living there, which is crazy to think about Given the sub-zero temperatures, the reason they endure the cold is because there is a diamond mine there that needs workers and they pay them well enough to harvest them, but how cold could it be?

How about 60° C if not colder and yet they persist and apparently the People are very proud of being able to withstand such harsh conditions, as it shows their toughness and ability to overcome, although that is something that must be respected and I honor their ability to endure. I'm very glad I don't have to live. there because that good cold is just terrible, I mean why put up with negative temperatures that can turn you into an icicle number 14? Liberty Cave now, earlier I showed you the floating villages of the people of Cambodia, but now we're going to the coast of British Columbia. and Canada to show you Freedom Code, a floating island of sorts made by M that is home to a couple who pride themselves on living on the ocean and who are more than happy to not set foot on dry land as often, but how exactly do they ?

It works well, it's really simple, the whole thing sits on a dozen interlocking steel doors that creator Wayne Adams had rescued from an old fishing farm. In fact, everything is made from reclaimed material, a habitat designed from what is available when it is available, he and his wife live together. in their floating cove and can make everything work for them, including being able to grow their own food through the areas they have farmed. From time to time they have to go to the city, but it is quite rare that it happens because they have been able to be self-sufficient for quite some time, the couple is constantly working and reworking things in their cove, but they don't seem to mind, in fact, the duo Artistic believes they want to stay there for the rest of their days and have the potential to do just that, and they also feed the bald eagles that fly into their cove regularly, so you know how you know.

Island Lodge number 13 moves on to a classic that many of you have probably heard of in our long running Places I Can't Pronounce series or at least you've seen this one Once upon a time specifically, you may have seen this photo yes, it's from a real island near Iceland and on it rests a single White House, the house seems small compared to the rest of the island and yet it is there and nothing else man made exists there, so when people When they saw this house on the Internet they began to speculate about what it was, who made it, how it got there, etc., but that only led to a lot of rumors, lies, and incorrect stories.

Good for you, I'm here to clear all that up first. Yes, it's a real house. In fact, it is what is considered a hostel and that is where the truth is. Lies, it was built as a hunting lodge so people could go hunting for local wildlife on the island. It was eventually abandoned and technically no one lives there today, which might be for the best because it doesn't have any kind of running water. or any other pleasant pleasure about it. Number 12 China's Cliff Village. Have you ever metaphorically felt like you were hanging off a cliff? Some people in China go through what this 200-year-old town became famous for every day. all thanks to its 800M of stairs that people, including children, have to use to go up and down the cliff every day to reach the rest of the world, now it's crazy to think that everyone has lived up to it. high, but they did it and they weren't poor either, it would just take them a long time to go up and down to be able to do what they had to do to live, things eventually changed, although when the Chinese government offered them new houses on the ground floor and surprisinglyaccepted they seem happy to no longer live on a cliff number 11 the Bucharest tunnels in Romania in the city of Bucharest there are special tunnels that were once made for the city's heating system There is nothing wrong with that, but now the Bucharest's tunnels are home to many people who are simply trying to live and it has been quite difficult for them, but as those who have ventured into the tunnels would note, while life can be difficult there, it is also quite safe not to discriminate. and there's a sense of trying to help each other get to the next day.

Believe it or not, these are not the only tunnels in the world that house people, many people love to go to places like this as a safe haven because it is the only option available to them, it's hard to think about that, but that's what some people have to do to be able to live in numbers. 10 Sanctuary of Madonna Corona here is another place that seems to be hanging from a rock which as we all know is no longer something strange to see in the world, it is quite common if you know where to look near Verona you will find the sanctuary of Madonna DEA Corona, which It is a sacred religious site that has been a place of pilgrimage for many people for hundreds of years and is definitely not a bar owned by singer Madonna.

The good news is that, although it is at the top, you can now get there more easily. than you might have done in the past as they have renovated the pedestrian path you can take to get there. The Madonna Dela Corona is an important place of worship for Catholics who come to pray and seek solace in its peaceful surroundings. The Sanctuary is dedicated to The Virgin Mary and its altar has a statue of the Virgin and Child Number Nine Dr River House yes, this is a real place and has become quite an attraction in Serbia, the Drina River House has very humble origins since it was built by a couple of people. who just wanted to have a place to relax after swimming in the river, they started small and then slowly built the house up to what it looks like now and if you're wondering why they stacked it like that, it's because the river would occasionally rise and This would help keep the house from being swept away.

The irony is that the house has been washed away several times and as a result has had to be rebuilt several times, but the people are willing to do it because it has become an iconic part of the river and they don't mind helping to keep it there number eight Mount Fanging remember how I talked about the dedication of monks and how they are willing to go to great lengths for their faith, well here is another example of that in China, on Mount Fanging, you will find not one but two Buddhist temples that are hundreds meters from the ground.

The two temples at the top of the mountain were each built on separate peaks and guests must cross a small bridge to cross the crevice between them, you should make sure not to look down when you do that, but there is an 8,000 step climb that You'll have to do just to get to the temples, so good luck with that, though, if you're able to brave the heights. You will end up seeing the Chinese landscape like never before and you will be amazed not only by the beauty but also by the work that was necessary to build these places that were so high up at number seven of the Casa du Penado, this one called Boulder.

This house is absolutely one you will find in Portugal and you can even rent it if you dare to stay in it for a while, believe it or not, this Stone Castle was built not only using natural rocks nearby but also as a vacation spot. home for a family who lived in the area the things people would do for a nice vacation and they had to move when people kept flocking to see their house in Rock, so what exactly is the appeal of this place? It works like a work house. which includes having a kitchen to cook in but also serves as a place without electricity so you can disconnect and enjoy all the natural ways of life.

Number Six Villa gasou in 99.9% of homes in the world always have the problem of never really facing the sun all the time to take advantage of its light and heat, but for Villa gasou in Italy that is not really a problem, The Villa built in the 1930s was built with a singular and simple purpose: to rotate so that it would always face the sun, yes it is real and in fact it was inspired by a sunflower that always faces the sun to absorb its rays. The motors help move the Villa on rails so that the sun is always in sight. strange, well, I don't know, I think it's cool and also very, very creative, number five of the Meteora monasteries, when you're a UNESCO protected place, that means you're doing something right or you're just very, very old and someone thinks you're important enough to preserve it.

In Greece, the Meteora monasteries are Hil as one of the best tourist attractions you can visit today. There are six monasteries that were built on rocks along the route. hundreds of years old and is considered one of the most important religious sites in all of Greece. Over the years, as the importance of the tourism industry grew along with the value of the dollar, several improvements were made to the monasteries to It's easier to get to the place and do your thing. Dating back to the 14th century, this site sits atop towering rock pillars in central Greece and was originally built by monks seeking solitude and protection from invading forces.

Originally, it could only be accessed by rope ladders and the baskets and monasteries actually served as centers of devotion and religious learning, but if you are willing and able to climb the place, you will end up experiencing something like never before along with a Stunning view as it fills the entirety of the Greek landscape. your eyes number four kuber pey I have shown you many interesting houses so far in this list and yet when we look at the events surrounding kuber pey in Australia we can't help but be amazed at the people who took what was a seemingly dire situation in the environmental sense and then transformed it into something quite positive that they still enjoy to this day.

Kuber Peti is in Australia and it is an opal mining town, not only do they mine opals there, but they mine a lot of opals. of many of them carried over from the past, oh it's old, they were potentially the largest opal mining operation in the world at one time when they started in 1916 and that would lead them to dig many, many, many holes in the ground and the problem with this being that during the summer it was very very hot there and I'm not just talking about a few degrees above hot, I'm talking about boiling to the point where you could cook an egg in On a concrete hot day, it would that you would pray for the air conditioning to work and yet it never did, but what were they supposed to do?

In that case, well, they couldn't just block out the sun, so they used what they had. Around them, what were the mines, that's right, 2500 people said, "To hell with this heat" and then they went to live in the caves and tunnels that they had dug before, they worked well, yes, actually yes. The caves were not only cooler but also dozens of degrees colder, so without the scorching sun they could live a normal life, so to speak. It is believed that actually around 80% of the population of Kubra Peti are inside those caves and they have many things inside their homes.

There are also houses, churches, schools and even hotels where you can rent a room and they have electricity and other amenities that you would want in a home, so it turns out that they live quite well now, that doesn't mean that they don't come. They take in air because sometimes they have to to get food and retrieve water and other things, but most of the time you can find them relaxing in their caves and that's pretty cool in my book number three, Pon Veo, now that I've been in. Italy several times, so why not make one more stop?

The Ponto veio, also known as the old bridge, is one of the most secret places to visit in all of Italy and when you go there you will be able to notice how different the bridge looks compared to anything else. As you may have seen, that is because there are shops both inside and outside the bridge that have been operating for quite some time. It used to be occupied by certain types of professions like blacksmiths, but they scared people away with noise, so people with more quiet and better-paid professions were introduced into the shops and to this day there is even a so-called secret passage which is so special that it is mentioned in the book Dante's Inferno, but unfortunately or maybe fortunately it will not take you to the underworld. number two killed, given what you've seen with kuber py, the killed village in Tunisia shouldn't be a big surprise, these people not only dug a huge pit but then dug their houses in the nearby caves so they could have a solid structure to call home, yet another case of people using what is around them to make a living, but even when buildings began to collapse due to weather and other factors, people simply rebuilt the houses and then did the right thing.

Going back to live inside them may be a little strange, but it also shows that sometimes people enjoy where they live, even if it may seem strange to everyone who sees it from the outside with a closed and ignorant mind. Number one hallat China Given everything you've seen so far, you might be curious about the latest strange place I'm about to reveal where people actually live. I've shown you cave houses and stacked houses, strangely shaped houses and more. be anything that can really top all that, how about cloned houses? Here is another example in hallat that you may know, except for the fact that it is in Austria, it is an old school place that even has UNESCO protections due to its wonderful architecture that has been around for hundreds of years, but if you go At a hallat in China you will see exactly the same architecture and it will even look aged even though it was built much more recently, so what is going on here?

The answer is that China has recently been obsessed with recreating landmarks and places from around the world and then placing them within their country. Their goal with this is multiple, but in fact it is a Chinese construction company that has cloned an entire village just so that people in China could also live in it, although interestingly it was apparently built to house the rich of China, which Which speaks volumes in our minds, if we go back to the various cloning projects that China has been engaged in trying to help disperse its population away from other places.

Like Shanghai and other densely populated areas, the idea is that people are attracted to places like this and then are ready to move to them now. It's a good idea and theory, but I know there are problems with that kind of logic, not the least. and the thing is that some of these cloned areas, including the ones that were intended to be a replica of the United Kingdom, are not as populated as you would expect, many people don't actually care about these types of places and then those who can get houses only They use them as a kind of second home, even with all these clear flaws.

China is apparently determined to try to keep the project alive. That's all from the realm of people who actually have strange places they live. Are you surprised they chose? be in these houses and which of them do you think was the strangest of the bunch or maybe there is another strange house that could have appeared on this list, let me know in the comments below, check out the other interesting things on the screen and I will see you next time
