Faux world







I want the world. I want the whole world.
I want to lock it all up in my pocket. It's my
bar of chocolate. Give it to me now.

--Veruca Salt, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory



Traveling around the world in 80 days seems possible. For those that want the Kodak moments without the investment of time and money, there's Window of the World, a theme park in Shenzhen, China. The park has 130 vivid replicas of the world's scenic and historic sites, including the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Rushmore and the Eiffel Tower built at ratios of 1:1, 1:5 or 1:15.. If a trip to China seems overwhelming, there's always Las Vegas.
