This Indonesian Slum Was Painted In Rainbow Colours And It’s Some Magic We’ve NEVER Seen

What can colours do? – You may ask. We don’t wanna say anything but show you.

A slum area in Central Java (Indonesia) got a facelift like no other and it was painted in rainbow hues after the community spent over 22,000 dollars in the makeover. Woah! The houses are looking so damn pretty that we just can’t take our eyes off it.

We are in no way overstating this but it looks like a magical realm. Have a dekko.

1. This is what it looked like before.

 

2. This is what it looks like now.
