Similarly, in another video, a man begins by showing the area below his building. However, his commute is anything but simple. He starts on the 18th floor of his apartment building and walks down a few flights of stairs to reach the ‘ground floor,’ which is actually situated on the 12th floor due to the city’s unique infrastructure. From there, he takes a monorail that passes through several residential buildings to reach his office. It is exactly like solving a maze!
