While In China You Can Visit India England America Venice Rome France Egypt And Other Places In The World Without Leaving The Country...

It's called Duplitecture.
And China is very good.
Or very bad. At Duplitecture.
It's copycat architecture.
Never mind the fact that many millions of Chinese live in sometimes horrendous conditions, the planners of China are hell bent to take what they see as the best in the world, other country's iconic architecture and replicate it at enormous expense in their own country.
So within the space of a few hours it's possible to visit various areas of China and see a duplicate of the Eiffel Tower, The Statue of Liberty, the Leaning Tower of Piza, Sydney's Opera House, another Taj Mahal, yet another copy of The White House and until they've removed it under pressure from Egypt, Giza's Great Sphinx. For most Chinese who don't and won't ever have the option of leaving their homeland and seeing the real world,
it's as good as the real thing...

Little Boxes. People In Mexico Live In Them...

Unbelievable but true.
These little boxes look more like kitset models and they all look the same. But I assure you. They're the real thing.
When photographer Oscar Ruiz was working as a helicopter pilot for a local Mexican radio station, he was required to fly around Mexico City chasing news stories.
He remembers flying up the highway that connects Mexico City with Puebla and this immense housing development
caught his attention.
It's the San Buenaventura Complex, located in Ixtapaluca on the eastern outskirts
of Mexico City.
