I wouldn't call the place where you live "slum". Obviously It's not the nicest neighbourhood, but you still have relatively clean and safe place. 40 a month is a good deal.

In China, you may not have a job because of myriad reasons but you will most definitely not starve. What a strong woman! Definitely someone who can face hardships and challenges. A1 wife material.

Slums were not what i imagined. Looks like a nice place to live even with all those stairs

This video made me want to document my daily life even more! I struggled with bad sound in my first video, but round two completely changed everything.

That parcel collection system with the electronic tags looks interesting. Maybe tell us more about it.

Turns out even people on the other side of the globe speak kitty. Very nice. Good wishes to you.<br><br>Also, to answer your question at the end of your video, I own my home. It took 22 years of monthly payments to the mortgage company. I paid my loan off early. I still have to pay property taxes and insurance on my home.
