Here’s an interesting link to pictures from various countries showing how close the ultra poor and the not so ultra poor live. It’s interesting to me that a simple street is sometimes the only divide.

These pictures are amazing – thanks for the link! I spent 8 months in Bangladesh two years ago, working with poor people living in the slums – and this disparity is achingly familiar! The rich are SO rich there, and right next door, there were people who lived in tent-like homes made out of plastic bags!!!
By the way, love your blog! Just created mine – hope you don’t mind but I linked your site!
Wow! Is it a reality? It’s terrible!
Wow!!! What a contrast!!!
That is something else. Ya gotta love the individual pools on every terrace…
