Homlessness is regarded as shameful everywhere, but especially so in Japan. More 4 News looks at how people who lose their homes in Tokyo cope with life on the street. A popular strategy is web cafes - you can sleep there for much less than the cost of a hotel

  • No human is more superior than another. Maybe you should rephrase your comment?

  • I was saying, no human is more superior than another, what part of that don't you understand? Anyone can accomplish anything. I never intended to change the world with my comment either. Bill Gates may have more money than me or you, but he wasn't born a billionaire, nor was he born with all his ideas preset, he worked hard to achieve it.

  • @jradetzky That's TB, "Tuberculosis"

  • I only explained, the truth.

    But, My some comments are not displayed. There are many people abusing a report spam function.

    Why ?

  • last year 13 people contracted TD? what is TD?

  • @svtcobra271 tell that to chuck norris

  • Homeless person is different from the beggar. The beggar is very few in Japan.

    The homeless people of Tokyo, one of three people owns a cell-phone.(mobile phone).

    In short, Japanese many homeless people enjoy the life.

    Japan has " the homeless people support system" .

    The protective institution exists, too.

    But many homeless people refuse it.

  • @svtcobra271 Define superior. Give it a thought and you'd think otherwise.

  • @jonathan45278 I lived in Japan from 99 to 2004 but I don't remember seeing that many homeless people. Maybe I didn't go to the same places you did. I did see a guy picking food out of a garbage can once in Ginza and I gave him an onigiri from 7 eleven. I saw a few others in a park in Tokyo but not nearly as many as in NYC.
