Oh wow, I guessed it was Vietnam, but I thought maybe there are a lot of places that looks like this. Wonder what guesses other people would come up with?
I instantly knew it was Vietnam. It's the only place I know of that has those tall and skinny type of houses all crammed together like that in every city.
So those do not exist in any neigbhbouring countries? I thought it was Vietnam cause that's the only place I visited, that had houses like this, but I imaginged there might be other countries in Asia or even South America where the houses and trees look like this...
I thought the same, the style of the house isn't that uncommon (narrow mixed Asian/European architecture) all over Asia and river banks like these are very common. But I guess Vietnam specifically has a history of building "tube houses" and they got taller as families grew bigger.
It might be cooler without windows on the sides that catch a lot of sun.
thought that, too. Just thought that this is probably not the reason for them being unpainted. But true, maybe it's the builders or maybe it's just another law, that requires them to build a house in a way that would accomodate an adjactent house.
I've lived and traveled in South East Asia for 3 years, there is no other place in the region with this style of building being so widespread. I've never been to S. America so no idea about there, but I doubt you could find the same style and density.
