    Back around 1980 I worked with a man who was born in that Siberian town. His stories about living in the coldest town in the world and the methods used to survive were only slightly less amazing than his escape from both the Russian and German armies who wanted to execute him for fighting on the wrong sides during WWII . He had no choice about which side to fight with. He eventually made his way to Australia still carrying many bullet fragments through his body, the result of being 1 of several hundred Russians who were lined up and machine gunned.

    I was born in Russia (Novosibirsk, 3rd largest city by population, "the capital of Sibera"). I did even go outside in -42° C (most of the winter is -30-35, though). We had normal toilet and electricity and everything (it's a big city), you just have central heating (pipes with hot water coming through the walls) everywhere, so no outside toilet 😅 Pipes do burst from time to time but back then it was rare. Regarding cars it took 20-30 minutes to get the car started, we didn't have our own so I'm not sure about antifreeze and other chemicals probably used to help the process.
    What DOES actually happen (and that's why people in the North wear fur) is that your jacket or shoes (if vegan) will burst from the cold and crumble (literally, in pieces, only lining will be left). That's why it was fur and now becoming synthetic fur and also there're some newer fabrics as far as I understand.
    Regarding the people they are NOT Russian and Oymyakon is NOT a Russian word. They are Sakha (Yakut) people (they are turks, actually!) with their own language and culture. They are Russian citizens (because of imperialism) but are very different and some even can't speak Russian at all. I love their national clothing though! Religious beliefs are also pretty interesting. You should check it out

    In the cold Russian one it’s illegal to walk by a car that is not running and not check that someone is inside. Since it’s so cold that being in a car without it running will mean certain death. Most of the town lives in a complex similar to two hotels connected together with tunnels underground so you can move around the town without being in the harsh elements.

I live on the coast near Sealand, and all of these structures are still there, they were not destroyed, and you can see them from the beach on a clear day. In addition, the Villages at Tong Le Sap are only submerged during the rainy season. The rest of the time, they are actually a long way from the water, we walked through them interacting with the locals last time I was there.

    Oh I do get so very motion sick! I can’t even swing on a swing, there are a lot of video games I can’t play, and the sickest I ever got was when I was on one of my cousin’s houseboats. I felt like I was going to die. Also I hate fish so…

    2) Use EQ or edit out your harried breath intake.
    You have great writing, video, presentation, but torpedo all of this with the rush-style presentation.

    Ok, Simon, I'm a fan, but this was a mess. The minimum wage in Hong Kong is 16,000 HKD a month, or a tad over $2,000 USD a month. Where on Earth did you get your wildly inaccurate information? And yes, people are actually paid their minimum wage in Hong Kong. In fact, they have FAR fewer minimum wage violations than the US. Yeah, the shoebox apartments are crazy, thankfully I never lived in one any of the time I lived in HK. Maybe you should take the video down, visit, and do make a correction because that video contained a lot of false information.

    When I saw that Hong Kong was listed in your list of unbelievable places that people live, I guess I naively assumed that there would be some mention of the Chinese Communist Party’s recent betrayals of their 1997 promises to Britain to leave Hong Kong as a separate, free territory for 50 years after the UK graciously handed over control of the territory to the Chinese government… the incredibly small living spaces are nothing new, but I would choose one of those tiny coffin apartments in a free Hong Kong over forced disappearance to mainland China for saying that Xi Jinping is perhaps not your cup of tea
