Harsh Truth About 50 Million Empty Homes in China
If you've ever considered buying an apartment, you probably know that it's not so easy. The prices are sky-high wherever you are. But here's an amazing fact: There are literally millions of empty homes in China. A perfect place to settle, isn’t it? Well, not exactly.

China's economic boom leaves a trail of ghost cities: By Barnaby Chambers/Shutterstock.com, https://www.shutterstock.com/ru/image-photo/kunming-china-december-10-construction-on-236809795 Animation is created by Bright Side. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - The Chinese rush to buy property like crazy. Many of the apartments in these huge complexes are someone’s second or — wait for it — third homes! Of course, no one lives in these places. - In 2017, the nationwide average was 74,318 yuan, which is roughly $11,000. Now, the cost of a new apartment, as far as I understood, may start from about 2,000 yuan ($300) per square foot. - As a traditionalist society, China is very strong on family bonds. Basically, if you ask your family to help you out with the money you need to buy an apartment, they’ll most likely give you a hand. - There are seniors who work their whole life and save a lot of money. Then there are young men and women who also work and save and who have the help of their extended families to buy themselves a new home when the time comes. - There are many more men than women in China today, which leaves the housing issue wide open and on the shoulders of the men. To be able to marry, a young man has to have at least one apartment in his property portfolio. - Families that have sons start saving money right from their kids’ birth to be able to provide them with a separate home later. If they have not one but 2 apartments, that increases their chances of starting their own family. - ake the district of Chenggong in Kunming. It’s probably one of the brightest examples of these so-called “ghost towns.” But if you look at it today, you’ll see there are thousands of people living happily in their brand-new apartments.

That's Why Airplane Seats Face the Wrong Way
Can you imagine boarding a plane only to find all the seats facing away from you? You might think there must be some kind of mistake. But turning the seats around would actually be the best way to get passengers from A to B! Why? Well, at least because backward-facing airline seats are safer than forward-facing ones. They provide extra support for the head and torso. Our backs are scientifically proven to withstand more shock than our chests and front. So why don’t airlines have the option of rear-facing seats? Other videos you might like: Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific Ocean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00AT5h_sOQM&; Why Airplanes Are White https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KchRdiTzDz0&; Pilots Reveal 16 Nuances That Make Your Flight Safe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVYXErxau-U&; TIMESTAMPS: For the health of it 0:21 It’s like babies! 1:00 It saves space 1:35 The views are great 2:15 Sleeping is better 2:38 It’s FUN! 2:59 Better amenities 3:15 Why airlines don’t have this option: - Too much weight 3:44 - It's too pricey 5:08 - It could make you sick 5:37 - Sound interference 6:17 - People wouldn’t want them 7:43 - Experiments are too much of a risk 8:08 #planes #airtravel #brightside SUMMARY: - The Society of Automotive Engineers, which creates safety standards in the automobile and aerospace industries, explains that forward-facing seats allow the torso to move forward. - Babies and toddlers are supposed to sit in rear-facing car seats until they’re at least 2 years old. Because it’s much safer! - Airlines that have included backward-facing seats in their business class have been able to fit 80 more seats in the cabin. - With rear-facing seats, you get to enjoy the view the entire time you fly! - Airplanes are naturally angled up a degree or two when in flight. Seats that face backward can recline into fully flat beds. - Rear-facing seats are heavier than forward-facing ones, this adds weight to the plane. - Some frequent flyers that have tried the backward-facing seats say that it’s a little awkward when you ride facing other passengers. - Completely replacing old seats and installing new rear-facing ones would cost a fortune. - If you’re someone who struggles with vertigo or nausea, I’m raising my hand here, these “innovative and revolutionary” seats may not be for you either. - Studies done on various forms of transportation show that most people choose forward-facing seats. - Completely redoing seating arrangements on board would be risky, and may not guarantee revenue.

16 Little-Known Facts That Will Save You One Day
Imagine you're in a forest and come across a bear. Or that you're stuck in a building that’s on fire. Would you know what to do to survive? Life is full of surprises, and not all of them are pleasant. But there's always a way out, even in situations that seem hopeless. Many injuries could have been avoided if people had known how to behave correctly in critical situations. Sometimes, knowing a simple fact can increase your chances for survival or help save someone’s life. Yep, there are situations where a person’s life really depends on their actions and here's a plan of action that could help you survive. Other videos you might like: 4 Riddles You Have to Solve to Survive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1pMuF_edlY& 13 Tips on How to Survive Wild Animal Attacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkFFq11j6dQ& 10 Survival Tips That Turn Out to Be Harmful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKdqWUeVJaE& TIMESTAMPS: How to escape from a car 0:28 Unpredictable fire 1:02 If caught in a fire, keep low to the ground 1:34 Address someone directly to get help 2:03 Encountering a bear 2:37 A smell of fish or urine 3:22 Rip current 3:55 A fire during cooking 4:22 Don’t eat snow even if you’re thirsty 5:00 Hide in the tub in case of a tornado 5:31 Water on the beach is too far from the shoreline 6:15 How to recognize a poisonous snake 6:46 Walking on thin ice 7:41 If your hair stands on end while you’re at an elevation 8:07 Don’t inflate your life jacket before getting out of the plane 8:38 Upbeat music behind the wheel 9:10 #survivaltips #staysafe #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - If there’s an emergency and you can’t get out, try to break the glass, but do it the right way. Don’t hit it in the center, but on the edges. - If direct sunlight hits a plastic bottle, it can actually start a fire. This can happen because the water bottle acts like a lens that focuses the light coming through the window into one hot spot. - It’s crucial to stay as close to the floor as possible during a fire to avoid breathing in poisonous smoke. - If you let a bear chase you moving in circles, chances are it’ll give up trying to catch you, thinking you’re not worth its energy. - A smell of fish or urine can come from electric wires melting, which can lead to a fire or even an explosion - Sometimes the vegetable oil you use for frying can catch fire on a gas stove. You must cut off the fire’s supply of oxygen by putting something over the pan to smother the flames. - Being in a freezing environment and at the same time putting something completely frozen into your body can quickly lead to hypothermia. - If a tornado is approaching your area, obviously the best thing you can do is to rush to the nearest shelter or bunker, or get in the basement. If you’re looking for a place to hide inside your house, choose the bathtub. - When the waterline is abnormally far from the shore, this is a sign of a tsunami. - Non-venomous snakes have bifurcated scales on the abdominal side of the tail while the tails of their venomous counterparts are covered with non-bifurcated scales. - If you’re trapped on thin ice and there’s no one to help you, start by lying down flat on your stomach and spread out your arms and legs. - You’re standing on a hill, and suddenly your hair starts naturally rising in the air. This is a sign of the presence of electricity in the air, which often precedes a lightning strike. - Who doesn’t listen to music while driving? It doesn't mean you should avoid music altogether, but don't choose upbeat, loud music that makes you want to dance.
