Spooky 
I can’t believe people actually live in a place like this.
As much as we sometime resent our countries leaders for some of their questionable decisions and policies, but I have to admit living in a civilized country is bliss! This is Cambodia’s Smelly Mountain, a huge landfill where hundreds of people live their entire lives. they are considered the lucky ones though, that’s the most amazing thing. At least they have a roof over their heads, even if it is an improvised one and they get paid for sorting all the garbage.
If that’s the good life in Cambodia, I wonder what being poor is like over there…

This is quite common in developing countries. In Nicaragua where I was born, you have the La Chureca landfill, which is just like this one. Awful to think that people are literally born, raised, live and die on trash.
