Capsule hotels

I dont think i would like to be in a capsule, the main reason why is that when is when I sleep I need a lot of room to spread out and stretch my legs. You're basically in a tube but square. Also when I wake up I like to stand up and move around or go to the bathroom. The capsule does not  seem to have very much privacy when you rest. You're  right next to another person and with that thin of walls i don't think there soundproof. When you sleeping you can hear other people snoring or making sounds, and that would make it hard for me to sleep, But the really question is………... would sleep on a capsule hotel?   

Life In Seoul

           I wake up 6:00 and open the door in my apartment. I went the train station and put my money in the machine to go to the train. I went inside the train and got crush by the people. I got out and walking out of the station. I can hear the car engine loud and see gum on the floor. I walk to my school and after the school ended I walk to the train station. I got out and went to my apartment to the elevator there were to many people inside and there were a line form. I waited 15 min and I reach to my door and got home.  

two trains haha

I moved to tokyo a few month ago and it's really hard to do anything. Just getting on the train is extremely hard. Once I was right next to the door and they pushed me on the train exorbitantly hard, I felt pain in my back for days! It was the worst when the doors closed then we were smooshed against each other like in a can of sardines. In fact I would rather be in a can of sardines, it would probably smell better! It smelt like sweat and as a matter of fact fishy. I get why they need to put people on the trains but why not add another car on?

Tokyo , Japan

Tokyo, Japan has the largest population of any other city on earth. Rush hour on the trains in Tokyo is a nightmare , unless you like being part of a human hamburger you might not want to take the train. If you're looking to drive thats also crowded, not to mention you have to pay to use the highway. There's really no way to fix this problem because there's just too many people!! The population of tokyo is a whopping over 10 million, you can't took somewhere without seeing a person! If I were to move somewhere, Tokyo Japan would be the last place I would move,what about you?

to close

           Imagine waking up in the morning with your mom,dad,brothers,sisters,and grandparents in a tiny one bedroom apartment. Well That is just something people in Japan have to do. There are so many people that live in japan its crazy. The population is 128 million people. I could not imagine sharing a little room with  my whole family. It would be so cramped. Your family would Probably have to take turns using the bathroom and when you sleep you would be tightly packed in. You would have a lot of family time. My question is would you like to be in a tiny room with your whole family for your child hood.

Need Space??

Have you ever been to cities like Shanghai, Seoul, or Beijing? Well if you have, then you know what it is like to be crowded. In the Capsule Hotel in Japan, you are in capsules next to random people. What I find truly amazing is the traffic jams in Beijing. You can get stuck in there for weeks! In major cities like this, it is hard to just get a space all to yourself. In the capsule hotel, knowing that someone is lying a few feet away from you is very uncomfortable. How would you get some space in cities like this?

~East Asia Seoul~

East Asia Seoul,


officially the Seoul Special City  – is the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea,  the world's second largest metropolitan area with over 25.6 million people. With a population of over 10 million, the megacity is the largest city proper in the OECD. Situated on the Han River, Seoul's history stretches back more than two thousand years when it was founded in 18 BCE by Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Seoul is surrounded by mountains, the tallest being Mt. Bukhan, the world's most visited national park per square foot.the world's second largest indoor theme park,Moonlight Rainbow Fountain ,as well as LG and Hyundai-Kia. In 2013, the city's GDP per capita (PPP) of $39,448 was comparable to that of France and Finland. Seoul is the world's most wired city and ranked first in technology readiness by PwC's Cities of Opportunity Report. Its public transportation infrastructure is the world's densest and ranked as the best in the Northern Hemisphere in the Sustainable Cities Index. It is served by the KTX high-speed rail and the Seoul Subway, the world's largest subway network, And the stations of food that Seoul has can combined all the smells. When its the afternoon its really busy because there hurrying people, people that are in a rush to get to the place they need to be.
 When i found this the first scenes got me interesting and now i know more then i knew and im glad that i read this.
 Transportation~
Subway & Train - Seoul has a comprehensive subway network that interconnects every district of the city and the surrounding areas. With more than 8 million passengers per day.  Seoul is also linked to most major Korean cities by the KTX high-speed train, which has a normal operation speed of more than 300 km/h (186 mph).

Tokyo

I just move to Tokyo a month or two ago and it has its flaws and flawless moments. Some flaws are that at night you are in a small space and there is very loud noises at night.  Another flaw is that for those of you that like to see the stars at night you might not want to move here because you can barely see them with the pollution. Also there is such a big population it is hard to find a job and when you do you get a minimum wager. There are some good things about Tokyo is that you can smell the exquisite foods here. Also there are a lot of things around here that you can explored around. It is a great thing for a vacation but if your plan to live around here I personally would not like to.

Cram Into That Train

You hear an annoying beep beep your look at your alarm and oh no your slept in. Fear rushes through your body. You get up rush to get ready and get out the door. You rush to the train station your are out of breath panting but you made it. When to you get to your train your are one of the last people your try and push push push your legs are aching from trying to shove in the train then your feel 2 people push your arm to get the train packed. Finely you're in but then your nose starts to sting from a horrid smell as the person next to you farts. This is how packed the trains can be during rush hour. The high populations make for a different life style so driving a car can be harder than riding the train. So would your live like this or stay more towards dealing with a long car ride.

Thomas the choo choo train in Japan

Have you ever taken a train in Michigan?  When you're on it you are probably thinking it’s crowded. That is not nearly as crowded as if you were going on a train in Japan. You would hate it so much. Imagine if you had to get pushed onto a train. Imagine how much that would hurt. Just to put this into consideration you can’t move. So if someone was touching you and you didn't like it you couldn't do anything about it. If someone had just smoked or farted you wouldn't be able to move so you would just be standing their smelling it for the whole ride. So now that I have just told you all of this tell me would you actually go on a train or just walk?

         I would hate to visit Tokyo. Don’t take  it the wrong way I don’t hate Japan but it’s not my style of living their. Did you know that Tokyo has 13.35 million people living there! Let me repeat that there is 13.35 million that is just too many humans for a city. Just about going to the pool or the escalator it just weird. Just imagine always being validated from your personal bubble. Every single day just because you wanted to the subway. Other than those issues I  would love to go to Tokyo I would definitely love to visit Tokyo Disneyland. It sounds like a lot of fun and see if it’s like the other one. Also Tokyo has interesting music called J-pop and I would love to go to a concert. Anyways would you visit Tokyo would like to go to Tokyo Disneyland.

Hotels!!

In Japan, they have some of the most awe-inspiring hotels ever. Did you know that most of the rooms are only about 10 feet long and 7 feet wide. All the rooms have is a bed. In the preponderance of the hotels there are more than 1,000 rooms. They are not like regular hotels we see here in America. They are on top of one another and have ladders leading up to the top rooms. As you will see a lot of people sit on their bed and work on their computers. It usually costs around $200 for one night! As I said before the hotels are cool and different.

Traffic in the East Asia

Have to go to work ? Can't find transportation? Well this is the problem about the population in Japan. People who go to work that take car or busses takes a lot of time. That is why people take the fast bullet trains. But the only problem is there are plenty of people who use the train go to work in the mornings. People who ride trains sometimes find seats, but others stand. Sometimes if there are too many humans that ride the train they all get squeezed. This is how Japan population is. If I was riding that train, I wouldn't feel comfortable because I have no personal space. Would you like to go on this train everyday? Think about it?

TOKYO

In Tokyo the population is 13.35 million people. That is 13.35 million people in only 845 mi of space. The population  is so stupendous, and some people are unsanitary.  If you go off the main road it probably smells repulsive. I would feel so crowded, I would hate it there I just know . All of those people just think. All you would probably get minimum wage less than 8 dollars. So it is over populated, minimum wage, and probable smells bad too. I know I wouldn't like to live here, how about you would, you like to live here?

Trouble in East Asia

Beep beep, The people in there cars honking at the long line of cars. The roar of the people yelling in the street. The 8 week back up outside of Beijing, Japan. People came out and started selling food and putting up bathrooms. Ding ding, the doors open and then it is time to fight. It’s not a boxing fight, it is the rush to get in the train first. The burst of the men grunting because his job is to push the rest of the people on the train. I would not want to be one of the last people pushed in and squeezed as the doors close. Would you want to ride this train every day for work?

My Travels

My Travels

I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot.  I have been to New York City (one of my favorite trips) and Chicago.  I thought both of those were crowded, with New York City having 26,403 people per mile, and Chicago having 12,750.3 people per mile.   I was shocked when I found out that Manila in the Philippines has 15,400 people per mile, and it has less land area than both of these places at 550 square miles.  I had trouble walking around in New York City, so it must be almost impossible to move around Manila (you would ether smash into someone, or you get bumped yourself).  With all the crowds there, you must not be able to see any of the beautiful buildings or the smells of the food.  Even though I have traveled a lot I have not seen it all. So i end with this, what populated density cites would you like to visit?

TRAFFIC!

Imagine you got off to a late start going to school. The traffic is nuts. You smell the gasoline and the pollution from the other cars. You hear the horns of the cars beeping. You see the hundreds of cars in front of you. You know that it could take, hours, days, weeks. It’s too late to go to school now. You are trapped in the traffic with no food, water, or showers. You are forced to leave your car. This has become normal for you. Imagine living this life every day. Smelling the sewer Water on the streets. Would you want to live this life?

No space

The train stations in southeast asia are so packed that there are people who are paid to push people into the train. Imagine how bad that would be, well theres worse. In southeast asia there are pools that have so many people in them that you can barely move and thats not the end of it. There are hotel rooms half the size of a table! Would you still go on a train that has barely any space? How about a swimming pool that you can’t swim in? Or even a hotel room the size of your dog’s dog house?

CHINA TRAINS

Imagine being in a room that is about two meters long and very short in length. Oh, and by the way, there are other people there, to. A lot of people. That's what it's like being on a train in China. With big, sweaty people all around you. And you can hear the breathing in and out, and feel them breathing on your neck at the same time. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I would feel like an ant inside of a small ant hole while the other ants' relatives are over visiting from Georgia or something. It's even so cramped that there are people that push you inside of the train. If you click on the link you can see people being pushed in. And if you look closely, you can see people mushed up against the window. Explain to me what you would feel like.

It's crowded in here!

     Imagine waking up 30 minutes late for school and your mom yells, "Get up, you're late!" Then in a panic you jump into the shower, put on fresh clothes, and rush to the train station, but when you arrive you realize that you could have probably skipped your shower that morning because the train is already full. I know you're saying to yourself, "why would the train being full cause a person to wonder why they even bothered taking a shower?" Well being late for a train in Japan during rush hour means being pushed into an already crowded train by two or three people until you fit into that living suitcase. The train is packed so tight that a person can feel the sweat rolling down their backs and strangers breathing on your necks, as the train roars down the track. The population density in Japan is insane, but this is their way of living in this country, even if it is extreme to us.
Do you believe that Americans would be mentally capable of adjusting to such an extreme way of living?

Blog Episode XI: It Is Your Density!

Chances are you have never been to a place with anywhere near the population density depicted in my collection of videos. If you have, then see me about what your topic for this blog could be. If not, your topic is to discuss one or two aspects of daily life that you saw and found interesting among that collection. Even better...research something new (about population density in an East Asian city such as Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai...there are several to choose from) and share what that new experience might be like.

Try to get your reader to FEEL THE EXPERIENCE by using descriptive, rich vocabulary words. Imagine yourself being in a setting like that and do your best to describe what that must be like. Dazzle your reader with the feelings, sights, sounds and smells of your chosen scenario.  

Grading: Because we are stronger writers now, Spelling-Error-Free POSTS must be 100+ words (4 points), contain a hyperlink or a video or have a picture/video brought in to your post (1 point) and end with a question (1 point).  For the last four points, you will need to use those rich vocabulary words to bring your reader as real of an experience as possible. Touch upon four aspects among the feelings (physical or emotional), sights, sounds and smells that you would imagine you would experience. As an example, maybe you would hit upon two smells and two sounds...or three feelings and a sound...four total for your last 4 points.


COMMENTS: You must be the first or second comment made to a post and it must now be 75+ words, spelling-error free of course (5 points), and once again it should clearly show that you have looked up information from the post and added it as part of your response (2 points). And once again, this time you must suggest to this author that they read another author's post. Connect your suggestion with a solid reason. For example you might say, "Hey Julio, I really liked reading your post about Sri Lanka and the amazing food they have there. It dawned on me that you might really like to read Darby's post. I know, I know...she wrote about Bengal, not Sri Lanka. But you will notice that each culture seems to share a love of spicy food, don't you agree?" See how I connected the two different posts by a common thread? That is your mission, and success there will earn you your final 3 points.
