Open Sewers Of The World.
We did receive a lot of comments when Japanese sewers were posted, some said its like space ship while others said it looks like a sci-fi inspiration gallery, like something out of The Fifth Element, like levels on Halo & all, now lets see what you got to say on these sewers where humans are staying in inhuman conditions.

Ya life worldwide is not as pictureque as in the developed world.
@douglas, for all, life isn't a bed of roses.
@anon, well what can be said? we can summarize it in one sentence: "all humans are not born equal?"
I Actually live near Bangkok myself and yes there are a lot of "open sewers" But none of them are used for drinking water or washing as all areas have access to clean water even it its at a central point rather than in every home.
yes the klongs (canals/drains) do stink really bad at times and are black. But one learns to ignore this problem and learns to raise the curtain on the klong boats to avoid any black water from getting on you while riding the boat.
Part of why bangkok has a problem with waste water drainage is due to the klongs once being for both drainage and mass transport leading to a open air system rather than in closed as found in western countries.
SO the worst issue from the dirty bangkok klongs is the smell/look of them.
Although one often wonders how people who's homes back directly onto a "Black Klong" Actually manage to ignore the ever present smell.
If you visit http://thaitransit.blogspot.com/
You can see some pics and video of the klongs being used for mass transport.
In the mean while our country and maybe other random cities around the world, are worried about 'non-important' stuff like that no-working Paris Hilton. I could care less about those celebrity hoods, but my feeling goes out to people like this in these countries, especially the children having to grow up here. A real wake-up call.
