The scariest thing here is that food was being made in what looks to be quite disgusting environments, but the reality is that even places outside of Kowloon are making food in similar conditions.
Judge Dredd would have a blast there
this is so dystopian
Dami: An ideal way to map such a Labyrinthine structure where one suite address can occupy multiple levels would be to identify the suite number of each address along a named route as it snakes through different floors and different buildings like memories occupying different sites in the neural pathways of the human brain. Such a map would look like a common metro transit map with separate routes that parallel, overlap, and connect one another at junctures. Each path will have its own name and number and perhaps even final destination(like outdoor courtyard)or even purpose(like medical facilities)resembling numbered bus routes. My Grandma recounted just such a historic meeting she had as a Jewish child while living in post-WWII Hong Kong. Grandma was about fourteen years old and was visiting the Kowloon (“Gull Lūng” in Cantonese meaning “ Nine Dragons”)Walled City with her parents’ housekeeper. They were led by an exotic aroma to a little space under one of these interconnecting stairwells where a tiny middle aged gentleman and his wife were preparing their daily batch of freshly prepared oyster sauce for sale. “Buy this!” he yelled. “It’s better than the ‘Hup Sing Loong,” brand oyster sauce!” Grandma again drawn by the rich creamy texture of the man’s creation, motioned to her housekeeper to purchase a bottle which he poured fresh from a funnel. “You will not regret it young lady,” he added. “And you are?” Grandma asked in fluent Cantonese. “My name is “Lee Kum Kee.” Do not dismiss me because of my poor surroundings. I had just arrived some months ago from China. I will become famous in Hong Kong first and then I will open a factory in the United States where my oyster sauce will be known throughout the world as “Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce.” As Grandma was leaving the Walled City premises, her Chinese housekeeper turned to Grandma and chuckling whispered…”dreamer.” Dad sprinkles some Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce he bought from Superstore onto stir fried beef slices he will add to the bok choy for tonight’s dinner. ❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada.

Reminds me of Judge Dredd or Bladerunner, that is fascinating
Whoa they had shops doctors and schools
Safety 3rd! Stupid OSHA brings everyone back 4 steps. Deregulation is the first step towards economic development.
I love the idea of this, i would love to explore kowloon without all of the crime, so sad that such a cool sounding concept was such a horrible place to live
I remember, I watched the video. You seem to do exceptional work.
This is so disgusting omg
This is how you make a short👏
✨👸🏻✨ 👀💭😍😍😍
Yeah nothing says thriving like subhuman conditions. People will put window dressing on anything
Reminds me of Cantha from Guild Wars. Maybe this place inspired it
when youve already seen the video but you just love content on Kowloon lol
Reminds me of SimTower.
I went to kowloon Market some years and was shocked at how big it actually was
shes perfect 😍
idk what it s, but I love how this chick talks
You mean, exploitation thrived there.
It's such a shame it's gone. What a place of wonder. Is there another place even remotely like it anywhere in the world? I doubt it.
If she was my professor, I'll prolly stay in class for hours
It was built in the Old Fort compound which was legally part of China and under their control but they just decided not to police it.
Feels like kill la kill was based on a city designed like this one
So only think like native Americans and only take what need so dont make moons you cant live on , hence mining cheese 🧀
Its just another moon base now adays , well to many planets that can make earth like without living on moons hence hologram satellites that blocks dims and makes a sun and can also suck water out of space so can grow food and have oxygen 🛰🤖🚜🐳🦞🦀🐮🛎🦕🦣🐘🦏🥩🌽🥠🌵🥤🦨
Its that map from black ops
i would replace "industry thrived there" with rampant unpaid/slave like labor. that kind of stuff is still underpaid workers. if it smells like shit then its still shit, not an apple pie
Well explained and greatly edited. You are amazing ❤
