Humans are resilient and can live in all sorts of crazy places.

For example, I live in a windowless padded room with nothing but a microphone, the internet, and a bottle.

Don't ask what I use that last one for.

Still, as bizarre as my home as, some are even crazier.

From menisculal islands to cities literally brimming with garbage, let's explore some of the strangest places people actually live.

You're listening. You're listeningentioner, it might be amazed.

The first time you hear about Manshiart Naser, it might sound like a dream.

Situated in sunny Cairo, Egypt, Manshiard Naser has a low unemployment, extremely cheap housing, and a populist that self-describes as generally happy.

The only problem? The city is permanently buried in garbage.

Well, you can't have it all, I guess.

Garbage bags, broken bottles, tattered newspaper, discarded plywood,

ten cans, wrappers, all humanity's crime flows freely through Manchiard Naser.

The reason this garbage city exists is that Cairo, despite being a major city with a population of 20 million people,

never invested in an advanced waste management system. Because of this, it fell to

individual citizens to dispose of their trash. As the city grew larger, however,

residents began to run out of places to dump their waste. Bchard Nazer eventually became the unofficial dumping ground for the city's trash, and the people living there took up the mantle.

It's not uncommon for residents of Manchard Nazer to go door to door in Cairo collecting trash, which they then bring back to their own homes.

This has led to their

nickname the Zebelene, which translates to the trash people. The Zabalines soared

through the garbage in order to recycle the glass, reuse the plastic, and collect

various other pieces of trash to repurpose. Despite the unglamorous work, the

Zabaline are efficient, apparently recycling up to 85% of the garbage they sort.
