  • Tourists stand outside the Taj Mahal Bangladesh, a replica of India's famed Taj Mahal erected by Ahsanullah Moni, a millionaire film director and businessman. The Bangla Taj sits in the middle of rice fields near Moni's home village outside of Dhaka, Bangladesh. He says he built it because most  Bangladeshi people cannot afford the trip to Agra, India to see the real thing. The entry fee for his replica is 50 Taka, about  0.75 USD. There is a 25-room hotel facing the Bangla Taj and he says his plans include a film studio and center nearby. The construction of the main Taj will be completed in about a month but the tourist attraction is now open to the public. Moni claims about 20,000 people visit daily. There is only a single lane two kilometer road winding through the surrounding rice fields connecting the main road to his attraction, near the town of Sonargaon, about 30 kilometers from Dhaka.

  • A mother in Dubai cooks her family's lunch in their new kitchen building that is separate from the rest of the house. Her hands are adorned with henna in honor of the wedding she will attend this afternoon. She is covered from head to toe in her home today, as she is when out in public because she is entertaining guests from outside her family. As an indigenous citizen of the United Arab Emirates her family is entitled to a substantial subsidy from the government and jobs for the males in the household. Their high standard of living is a far cry from her parents' life as nomadic Bedouin camel herders of the desert. Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (From a photographic gallery of images of kitchen images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 54) (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE).
