They had this one episode, I forget....maybe it was on Believe it or Not, hosted by Dean Cain.
They showed some of the unspeakably vile customs they have over there.
Like leaving milk out for disease infested rats, and then DRINKING the same milk, because it had healing powers..
Another segment had one guy who believe cow urine had healing powers, and was standing behind this female cow, as she peed, and he would splash his face with it.

Those are very poor people. They have that here too but not to the same extreme because the population is drastically smaller.

Parts of India, and some segments of Mong Kok in Kowloon, are the filthiest places on this planet aside from ni66er-infested Africa.
I've been to India & Hong Kong multiple times because I am an outsource-whoring slavedriver in the software industry. Complete, utter shitholes that make Appalachia in the US look like Ritz Carlton. The slants in Mong Kok have taken what you see in the pictures above, and built it up 30 stories high
Queue the posturing "I've gone to Hong Kong many times, blah blah mid levels blah blah" bullshit.
Most Indians are dirt poor. The poverty in that country is way beyond anything you'll see in America. Like starving kids covered in mud, living in tents by the side of the road, next to piles of garbage, begging for money.
Poor people in America live like kings compared to most Indians.

Then we have to agree to disagree. Let me guess, you're a white guy with an asian fetish so anywhere "asian" is automatically considered "cool".
Mong Kok is a dump, where the streets smell like shit. Literally, feces. The same shit-infested gutter houses you'd see in the slums of East LA, stacked 30 stories high on top of each other. Sewage emptying out into the street because nothing is built to code.
Agree re: China. I am in Shanghai 2 weeks out of every month. Largest, most populous, most developed city in the world. 3x the size of NYC, with buildings that double the height of ones in Manhattan.
I happen to be quite bullish on China. PRC will OWN the world economy in 10 year's time. Bookmark this thread.
However, I'm talking about poverty. Like in India, where starving mud covered kids living in tents & garbage are begging for money. They're clearly not getting schooling, not getting enough food, probably no healthcare, and have no chance of becoming a doctor, scientist, engineer, etc.
The poor kid in Mong Kok might live in a small cramped apartment. But he has food, public schooling, healthcare, and has a legit shot to become a doctor, scientist, engineer, etc.
In fact, I'd rather grow up as a typical kid in Mong Kok than a typical kid in Detroit or Camden NJ.
who actually thinks that, though? Sandni66ers who bathe in the corpse-infested ganges?
