it seems the residents of this Chinese village treat their hair as their most prized possession in the unusual Chinese village of Huang whoa there is a centuries-old tradition kept by all women living that since childhood they grow a long and thick braid which they cut only once in a lifetime this happens when a young girl is ready for marriage and when the women give birth to the first child they

Finnegan who are spouses and business partners in the neighboring town of Manoa there is only one residence LC Isla who is also its mayor and owner of a local tavern but how do they earn a living and cope with loneliness you might wonder why it's simple tourists or Americans passing by often visit both of these towns so the locals don't complain about the boring life on the contrary they consider themselves lucky Santa Cruz delos Lotte okay so we've already learned what it's like to be the only person living in the entire city but what if the city is four times as dense as the borough of Manhattan we're not talking about Tokyo or Singapore as you might think this is a tiny Caribbean island home to about 1200 people it only spans the length of two soccer fields but its residents truly believe in the more the merrier motto they manage just fine in close quarters packing in school to shops and one restaurant there are no police on the island but there isn't much need for them as everyone just knows each other what's interesting is that a hundred and fifty years ago the island was still uninhabited it was sometimes used by the colombian fishermen as a place to rest and take shelter during storms however at some point some of them decided to stay on the island for good and built houses there that's now in just a few decades a pretty big community was born there which is enjoying his peaceful life to this day geet horn the European village of geet horn is sometimes called the Dutch Venice or the Venice of the north and for a good reason the thing is there are no roads in this village located about an hour and a half drive from Amsterdam people only used boats to move around geet horn through the countless canals once dug up for peat extraction the only way to travel by land is to ride the bicycle down a narrow path in the centre of the village hundreds of thousands of tourists visit geet horn every year to admire the colorful scenery and rent an electric whisper boat all through the canals you've got to admit these lovely those louses with flowerbeds look like they come from the pages of some medieval tale kami katsu with more and more people
