For overseas children, boarding houses are an alternative residence for them to live in. Cheap prices are the reason why they choose to live in boarding houses. When compared to renting or building a house, boarding costs are still relatively affordable.
Unfortunately, one of the problems with cheap boarding houses is that the place is dirty. Like the boarding house occupied by @jmiatulhn. The boarding house he lives in is a former warehouse.
Don't be surprised if it looks very dirty and damp. Even so, @jmiatulhn has no problem living in that room. He chose to do a makeover to make his boarding house more livable.
Here, brilio.net has collected the portrait from TikTok @jmiatulhn on Friday (14/6).
