  • Newly reconstructed Caravanseraye Yazd Hotel, Yazd, Iran.  Also spelled caravansarai, caravanserai and caravansaray, in Farsi. Many of the old caravanserais of Iran are being renovated to attract tourists and to restore the architecture of the country's cultural past. These travelers' inns served as sheltering points for travelers, traders, pilgrims, and solders?as well as their animals, and included storehouses for merchant's goods. The architecture of each is based on the model of limited entrances to the outside to guard against invaders and thieves, and an open courtyard into which most rooms face.

  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • Mr. Moni, right,  shows off the lobby of the new 25 room hotel facing Bangladesh's newest tourist attraction. Ahsanullah Moni, a millionaire film director and businessman, built a replica of India's Taj Majal in the rice fields near his home village outside of Dhaka, Bangldesh. He says he built it because most  Banglashi people cannot afford the trip to Agra, India to see the real thing. The entry fee for his replica is 50 Taka, about  .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.
