Do you know that there is a country in this world where people in place of living in comfortable lifestyle but in place they literally live in coffin-size houses. Can you guess the name of this country? If not then we will reveal you about this nation.
Despite living a relatively comfortable life, all of us somewhere have aspirations to do better and to have more in life. And sometimes in the strive to achieve, we often forget how privileged we are to have shelter, food and a comfortable lifestyle.
A photographer named Benny Lam recently captured a few photos of houses in Hong Kong, where people literally live in coffin-size houses wherein they have their kitchen and toilets just a few feet away.
The photos will make your heartache. Take a look yourself-
1. The search of sleep:- The whole room is clustered with all sorts of things and the man is still trying to find sleep amidst all the chaos.
2. The small circle:- A kitchen, a toilet and a wash area, in the same place? Trying to fit it all at once.
3. Together in it all:- Look how the three of them are trying to have their meals together. Finding happiness together.
4. Finding peace in the cluster:- Look how the man is reading amidst the small place in-between his clothes and a little TV.
5. The silver space:- Doesn’t it look like a train compartment?
