  • The Holy Land Experience is a Christian theme park in Orlando, Florida. The theme park recreates the architecture and themes of the ancient city of Jerusalem in 1st century Israel. The Holy Land Experience was founded and built by Marvin Rosenthal, a Jewish born Baptist minister but is now owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Rosenthal is also the chief executive of a ministry devoted to 'reaching the Jewish people for the Messiah' called Zion's Hope. Beside the theme park architectural recreations, there are church services and live presentations of biblical stories, most notably a big stage production featuring the life of Jesus. There are several restaurants and gift shops in the theme park. The staff dresses in biblical costumes. Admission is $40 for adults and $25 for youths, aged 6-18.

  • Ahsanullah Moni, a millionaire film director and business man, shows visitors part of a hotel overlooking his new Taj Mahal Bangladesh, a replica of India's famed Taj mahal built in the middle of rice fields near his home village outside 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.

  • In Tokyo, Japan, REONA, a life-sized silicon sex doll sells for $7,500 (U.S.). The doll was shown at the apartment of the creator, a designer of artificial prosthetics, in a small room that served as his office. It was slouched in a leather chair dressed in a silk pajama and pantyhose. He changed the clothes to show the full figure, including private parts, which are removable and washable (not inserted for the photo). The doll is moved around by wheelchair. Its cold clammy skin was not a problem, assured the designer. "The doll has great thermoconductive properties. You can put an electric blanket on it for a while and it will retain body heat for a long time."
