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.
Try not to think about it and enjoy what you have while you have it. The pandemic proved the whole damn world can be turned on it's head overnight. That things are going this smoothly so far is honestly kind of a miracle lol.
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 Edit: mentioned measure units (Celsius) as requested
Thanks for your insights and experiences! On YT there's so many americans using crazy units though, you should really make clear you're talking about ⁰C temperatures here, not ⁰F.
@@dereinzigwahreRichi At -40 they're the same, but presumably a Russian is using C. I've been out - briefly!- in -30 C weather while being south of Chicago, Illinois, USA. That is cold enough for me, and in fact I texted my sister that I had minus 22 reasons to be going to work that night (-22 F is -30 C). She was living in Kuwait at the time and had daytime highs in the 30s C. And yes, I have noticed that at -20 C my coat started sounding funny as it moved, but I never considered it shattering.
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.
People have been building floating islands throughout history. The ancient azetec capital was full of floating islands and some still exist today for instance.
I love your videos Simon, but I have to point out that you have a lot wrong in this one. 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.
Fortunately, there are a couple good videos about it: and that would imply that there exist longer video studies out there somewhere. And it’s within “living memory,” so for people who can speak English and Cantonese and Mandarin, it’s possible to add-on to existing knowledge by interviewing old-timers. (I love ethnography, ethnology, sociology, etc.)
The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. It's obvious we are headed for inflation,it is always the poor who take the hit.

@@VosperCDN Now try living and saving up with only $600 per month. A quarter of your wage when you're earning thousands per month is _very_ different from when you're only earning hundreds.
If you spend that much on a mortgage, then you are not living within your means. You need to downsize and live a more sustainable, balanced financial life. You should be spending about 15% on a place to live.
I was born there/here in 1981. It’s cleaner, more efficient and has even better infrastructure than 20 years ago… A world city with 70% countryside that ranks amongst the best in the world in almost every category can’t be a bad thing?

Plastic waste. Ecologists have recently discovered a new species of microbe that eats plastic. Moreover, these were discovered thriving on several smaller plastic islands (smaller being relative) floating around the worlds oceans. The question? How do we clean-up the plastic without destroying the habitat of these new organisms? Seriously...
I've been to hk,, was there for 11 days like 6 years ago.. I visited what was a chanti town that was near the dock nearest to the pink dolphins.. where tourists jump onto boats and taken to see them. I have video.. it's basically people living in sheds on stilts over the water. The poor there juxtaposed to the wealthy living in oppulant towers such a short ride away was.... it's just crazy.. but no crazier than people who stay in the sewers here in vegas, while the rich inhabit the luxurious homes that span the city.. I have a vid of an old man walking a wooden bridge near the chanti town of which I also have video.. the man is dressed in nice clean clothes, while the area surrounding is decrepit.. the dichotomy there was absolutely astonishing.
I call BS on the coldest town. I live in a town in the US that gets -50F or colder. Gasoline does not freeze. Vodka freezes at -10F, so that's not really a big deal. Water and waste pipes do not routinely freeze, because houses can be built in a way to protect them.
Those HongKong Coffin apartments are insane. How can you justify charging someone to live in a place that's smaller than a prison cell? It's a wonder anyone lives there at all.
Joyxee Island was badly damaged by a storm in 2019 and the local authorities forced him to dismantle what remained. Perhaps not a solution to housing problems or plastic waste?
I'm Irish and we are literally no different to Hong Kong, property wise. Overcrowded houses too expensive to own. Well people with money do but any couple under 50k a year is fucked

Nothing against Simon but Hong Kong doesn’t have a landlord problem they have a land problem. They have almost equal population as New York City but only built in about 1/4 the area. Hong Kong has plenty of land but everyone wants to be near Hong Kong island

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
The uk returned territory back to China that it was forced to give away! What happens when the 50 years are over!? The uk should give back the remainder of Ireland!

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
The uk returned territory back to China that it was forced to give away! What happens when the 50 years are over!? The uk should give back the remainder of Ireland!
