Anna Rosling Rönnlund wants all of us to find out, so she sent photographers to 264 homes in 50 countries (and counting!) to document the stoves, bed, toilets, toys and more in households from every income bracket around the world. See how families live in Latvia or Burkina Faso or Peru as Rosling Rönnlund explains the power of data visualization to help us better understand the world.

Damn, the Lebanese have 2 tier dish drying racks! My dish rack is always full before the dishwater is dirty(all true). This was suppose to take me away from my first world problems for a while. Sigh...

As they did the hands, why not the feet? I am fascinated by strong, flexible, reliable, non-shod human feet.
