Jayden Morris
Why is Indonesia considered a third world country if it looks the same like South Korea and Japan?
Hunter Peterson
Korea and Poland are second world.
Isaac Price
sure looks the same to me
Gabriel Edwards
South Korea also has slums. Google 'slums South Korea'.
Hunter Harris
only a minority over there live in extreme poverty while in Indonesia it might as well be more than 30%
Colton Sullivan
a developed country shouldn't have slums like that at all
South Korea and Japan are disappointing countries, they look way worse than their alleged wealth would indicate.
Jaxon Hernandez
the only country creating affordable corona testing kits, testing everyone, not panic buying, has masks, and not in country wide quarantine lockdown, so yeah.
Brandon Price
Is life in Malaysia or Singapore good?
Juan Bailey

Caleb Garcia

Joseph Turner

Brayden Harris

Dylan Gutierrez
Yes OP I do love my counrty, but South Korea is not a developed country indeed.
Christian Gutierrez
Homeless people here are mostly schizos and drug addicts
Ryder Anderson
so why does Korea look that bad?
Brayden Clark
no, your buttcrack can't dry unless you powder it
Adam Gray
move here then
doesn't change the fact that they exist
they are first world because people don't die of starvation and treatable disease and almost everyone has tap water and electricity
Elijah Fisher
Why? I like my country. (But I also like Indonesia)
Colton Perry
Did a south korean fuck your bitch? I dont understand why an Indonesian would hate a korean since there is no historical contact
Adam Bailey
It was a very poor country until the 70s it's normal that some parts of it look like shit
Jace Lewis
I don't hate Korea, I like them. But I'm just wondering why it looks that bad despite having high GDP.
Jack Murphy
AaaaaaOP is Polish...ㅠㅠ
Oliver White
He's Polish and he hates Koreans because Poles hate all non-whites
Levi Watson
Your geographical knowledge is unbelievable mutt
Zachary Young
TEMEEEE!
Jacob Brooks
>they are first world because people don't die of starvation and treatable disease and almost everyone has tap water and electricity
no, first world countries should also look like first world countries (like the Netherlands)
Asher Wilson
kek
Thomas Walker
Christian Bailey
>I'm just wondering why it looks that bad despite having high GDP.
Because east asians don’t exactly have a great sense of aesthetics.
For people like us: functionality >>>>> beauty. Imagine how strong this idea was back then when they were poor.
Bentley Lee
>Because east asians don’t exactly have a great sense of aesthetics.
Not exactly true, Singapore is beautiful and very well maintained.
Samuel Perry
South Korea yes, Poland no
Kevin Wilson
i guessed the flag before i enter the thread
Camden Powell
why??
Charles Lee
>Not exactly true, Singapore is beautiful and very well maintained.
Hahaha. You have never been to Singapore then.
Nathaniel Davis
I've seen it on google street view. They don't have overhead powerlines for example.
Hunter Fisher
>I've seen it on google street view
So not in real life. Okay.
Cooper Gutierrez
how would it be different if I saw it in real life? do you mean that google is lying and removed overhead powerlines from their photos?
Ayden Martinez
>how would it be different if I saw it in real life?
My guess is through google street view you only found the CBD neighborhoods. Go look up the residential areas where below middle class Singaporeans live. They are not so better than the pics you posted here, minus the lack of garbage.
Sebastian Wood
>Go look up the residential areas where below middle class Singaporeans live.
tell me the name of the area, I will see
btw, Seoul (and Tokyo) have overhead powerlines even in the downtowns with office skyscrapers
Sebastian Reed
Tip: Search around Ang Mo Kio. That town almost looks as if a slum in mainland China was shifted and relocated in Singapore.
Jordan Ross
i don't think so...
Samuel Bell
I checked like 20 random places in Ang Mo Kio and I swear I didn't find anything that looks bad. is actually one of the worst places I've found there, because other neighborhoods look like pic rel
not a single overhead powerline anywhere, no trace of bad maintenance, lack of order or anything
Lincoln Nelson
Yes, obviously. They just have third world level business ethics.
Mason Phillips
Dude you're right but why do you make 3 threads a week about it?
Christian Clark
debatable.
Evan Collins
I have lived in Singapore for 2 years. I think I’m the one who knows better about what Singapore actually looks like between you and me.
The more north you go in Singapore the shittier the areas look. You’re only viewing the two dimensional scenes through your computer which is one thing. And it’s another to see them in real life, feeling the environment with all of your senses.
Sure, overall they may look neat on the surface of your desktop. But if you have the opportunity to live there yourself long enough, you realize there’s something off with the whole city, something the city planners failed to take into account. A short answer to that is a lack of open space but it doesn’t end there. The atmosphere itself feels fake, static, and constrained. Every corner seems it is missing the touch of humanity.
There’s more about urban aesthetics than lack of overhead powerliens.
Chase Williams

Xavier Price
I've seen streets just like this in Tokyo (They were cleaner though, no cardboard boxes everywhere), every country, no matter how developed will have shitty areas.
Nolan Lee
Poorland
Gabriel Howard
Imagine having income tax. Literal communism
Adrian Turner
>I have lived in Singapore for 2 years. I think I’m the one who knows better about what Singapore actually looks like between you and me.
I don't think so. First you tell me about some districts that are supposed to look bad, I give you photos and then you start explaining instead of giving me proofs. Show me a street on google street view that looks bad in your opinion and then we'll talk.
I don't understand what the difference between seeing a street on google street view and in reality is, if I don't want to rate the city's cuisine, climate or anything like that, just the level of maintenance and google street views are more than enough for that.
>The more north you go in Singapore the shittier the areas look.
Maybe it's true but what is 'shitty' by Singaporean standards is still much better than what is considered good in South Korea or Japan.
>The atmosphere itself feels fake, static, and constrained.
First world cities just feel fake, that's their inherent feature. It's the same with American suburbs for instance.
if you prefer 'living' and 'bustling' slums of Manila or favelas of Rio de Janeiro then it's your choice but let's not pretend these are 'first world'.
Jonathan Parker
this chart doesnt prove anything, if youll take the US for example one of the richest countries in the world you would see that around %10 of the population lives in poverty
Robert Ramirez
This. Every country, no matter how undeveloped, will have nice areas.
Ayden Campbell
How can US have higher income tax than communist nation like China and Vietnam?
Are they closet commies all along
Charles Long
No, since those taxes are to pay for the freedom of the People of Israel, wich is their duty and legacy as defenders of freedom and democracy
Asher Cook

Jacob Butler
KOREA IS A SHITHOLE PLEASE KEEP OUT OF THIS MISERABLE INFERNO
Cooper Jenkins
Aiden Powell
japan looks like this in a lot of places also
