Crazy Rooftop Villas in Asia!

Hi guys, welcome back to Off the Great Wall. It's me and Mia again. Hope you're not sick of seeing our faces. Yes. So we're gonna start a new segment that kind of introduces viral stories that have been happening in Asia. Like there's a ton of things that happen like weird and crazy and just like shocking stuff. Like lately there was that little sprout thing, right? The trend thing? Yeah, the trend in China. Yeah, so just fun stuff like that. So today we're gonna start it off. In Taiwan, there's these villas that are built on top of office buildings. So whoever built it was just like, who cares about the ground? We'll just build on top of you. So it's kind of like Lego. Anyways, this is the video. Check it out. Alright, well at least it has some air conditioning unit. Yeah, I hope they're nicely ventilated up there because since they're that high, you know how hot air rises? It would suck if there was no AC. Her father actually built this 20 years ago. 20 years ago! 20-year rebel. And they've been using it for, you know, family members if they're coming in town. Yeah, I was just gonna say who actually like inhabits, who lives there. It's owned by this one family. They use that as like a weekend getaway villa thing. Is it like an Airbnb? We should totally rent it. We probably should. But you know what? You don't even know if it's legal or not. Yeah. That's the problem. Legal. Right now, authorities are investigating this and then the media... I know, of course, of course. And then some of the citizens that live around that area, they're also concerned about this building. It's pretty dangerous. So guys, that was Taiwan. That was a pretty, you know, PG-rated version, I would say. But of course, China has to top it off with something even more extreme. So Beijing has, you know, a similar situation of these rooftop villas on top of existing buildings as well. You guys really need to check out this next footage. Basically, it's like a rooftop villa, but it looks like a jungle to me. Really? Yeah. Sadly, we have to report to you guys that this was seized by authorities because it was illegal. Classic China. It is pretty creative, actually. You gotta give it to the Chinese. I know. Creativity, yes, but... It's like a resort. You know, when you get sick of your normal environment and your normal villa, you just go and have a holiday on the rooftop. Do you really want to do it that way though? Because when you're on holiday, you want to get away. You don't want it to be so close to your house. And I mean, look at these cute villas on top of this Hunan building. Doesn't it remind you of a certain movie? Okay, but out of these crazy rooftop villas that we've seen so far, the one that takes the prize has to be this one. Yeah, it's literally built on a riverbank. Who would have thought? The building itself is already on a really dangerous location. And then on top of that, they built a three-story villa. They're such daredevils. You gotta commend them. Creativity and bravery trumps all. No, there's a time and place for you to apply your creativity. But anyway, local officials right now are looking into this, and this is what they say about the villa. So what do you guys think? Is it yay, nay, cool? Would you stay there? Do you want to stay there? What do you think? Yeah, so we hope you enjoyed this short, chirpy little news segment.
