This picture is taken from a ultra modern hotel's window in Beijing in 2006. This strange mixture of the old and the new, the rich and the poor, makes the usually clear border between them seem so ambiguous.
Above: the Revis family of North Carolina, United States (food expenditure for one week: $341.98) and the Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador (food expenditure for one week: $31.55).
I know only very few people visit here, but this is a very interesting series of photos.
