Foetus ...... these are really cool. It's a part of life we take for granted in America.

I like how some of them have really adjusted well and make good use of their space and everything doesn't seem as cramped as it could be, and others apparently want to be like we buy-happy americans and their 100x100 space is 95x95 filled with shit and junk.

Home is a subject i always find interesting mainly because i volunteer a lot with the homeless and have heard so many stories from them. 10x10, imho, really isn't even that bad... hell, those people have floors at least.

There's a really good documentary that i am sure a lot of you have seen called Dark Days. It really explores the concept of "home" and even if a person is living in an abandoned tunnel deep beneath NYC (or a Hong Kong housing project), he often still takes pride in his living area and just having an area to call home helps tremendously with one's mental state. One of the guy's in the film says "You'd be surprised what the human mind and the human body can adjust to". Damn straight.

If you haven't seen that movie check it out, it will blow you away.
