HONG KONG MONSTER BUILDING: What it's like to live in Hong Kong's most densely populated building

Anyone came from ig reels

Hi Sam, thank you for visiting my home monster building!!!! Quite informative video! So nice 👏

When you said you were interviewing residents at the top of the video, I certainly wasn't expecting a Japanese immigrant, let alone such a positive and upbeat one! Such a amazing young man. I hope we can all absorb a little bit of his positivity. In a similar vein, I wasn't expecting for such a diverse group of residents there. Monster Building carries on it's legacy as a first stop into HK for immigrants it seems. The refurbed shopping small in the basement looked like it was shot in a entirely different part of Hong Kong. Looked right at home in somewhere like Central or Admiralty. Lastly, loved your message at the end of the video. Too many get caught up in their pictures for social media and forget the impact such internet virality can have on a place

Hong Kong is much more than all the usual glammed up photos and videos that the outsiders are used to see. Thank you Sam for covering the Monster building from the inside and clearing away any questions that we had about how people manage to live there. It took us by surprise to see the monster buliding having people from diverse backgrounds and totally unexpected to see a Japanese tenant and listen to his experiences. Even the mall underground was a surprise. As you rightly said that this building represents the soul of Hong Kong and hope it stays strong for many years to come.

My main concern is the electrical wiring, its a fire hazzard and when it happens no one can escape due to its congestion.

Hi Sam, totally random but saw you near Victoria Park today and regret not stopping you to say hi! Really big fan of your videos - as a Hong Konger myself (now settled in the U.K.) - I binged your videos before my visit this time and have found it super interesting, nostalgic and informative! The effort you put in your videos do not go unnoticed and I love the spots you choose to film from (esp the local ones and the interview!) keep up the good work! :)

Amazing video, Sam! I always enjoy learning from you, and I'm looking forward to the next video already!

This was beautifully filmed - and Lingmuk seemed so sweet - like sitting with a friend chatting about his new place. Newly subscribed and looking fwd to learning more about Hong Kong!

Thanks! Missed your series a lot Sam!!

Thanks for your tour around the Monster building,very informative! Good to see you again looking forward to the next vid. Ta Sam.

Hey Sam, welcome back! Waited for this vid for a while lol.

It's been a while! Glad to see more of your content. Great video as usual.

When i see videos like this it makes me feel so grateful that I live in a country with lots of room and space, not that many people, nature all around. This gives me anxiety…when that is said, interesting to see how it is to live there.

TQSM from Mtl Cdn 🇨🇦

Hi Sam! Finally there’s a new one! I’ve already liked it before giving it a watch! I wish you could post it more often but I understand that it takes time to produce such an amazing and high quality video! So I’m not gonna rush you! Btw, has your t-shirt being “not soaked” ever occurred to you haha? Thank you for this one!

Fascinating place. When I see it from the outside it gives me some anxiety... I feel a fear that it might crumble or parts of it might not be stable. Once inside that feeling changes I suppose. It is tiny living as it exists all over the world, including urban areas of the US. Some make it feel as light and functional as possible, while others are a bit more ... casual. Thanks for giving us a look inside the Monster Building!

Cleanly Cleaner's lol I love how you put this video together - the narrative and tone and shots and all. Esp. kudos to the cinematographer capturing so many tiny quirky details of the place.

Another interesting topic from Sam, thank you for informing us about the local living history of Hong Kong. Despite the busy life and living environment of this small city, Hong-Kong still has a close tiny community and warm neighbourhood feeling.....thanks Sam for digging deep to look into and let us FEEL the real life of people LIVING in Hong Kong ♥️.

the monster building looks really cool!! i always love the huge shadow it creates on the main road whenever i go by. Appreciate all the research that went into this 😅and also the cinematography is outstanding! thanks Sam and team!!😂。this is a great one!!

Good to see another video up and something slightly different - well done!
