  • 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.

  • Pachinko parlors in Japan are packed and popular with the older set. Osaka, Japan. (The girl holds a sign that says: "right now all of the machines have 'no panku'," which means they have turned off the part of the machine that randomly stops you from getting balls when you've started getting them. (The point of the game is to collect more and more balls, but sometimes when you get a ball somewhere, that makes them start streaming out, there is a function of the machine which will stop them after some random amount, so you usually get fewer; they've turned that function off). (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • Betel nut vendor takes a drink of water between customers in Varanasi, India. Betel nut is a mildly narcotic seed eaten with lime paste and a green leaf.

(From a photographic gallery of street images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 131).

  • Katherine Navas, a high school student  (behind counter in shop on right), tends to a customer behind the counter of her stepfather's Internet and copy shop in Caracus, Venezuela. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Bars on all the windows, doors, and balconies signal that security is a major concern in this neighborhood. Caracas was the murder capital of the world in 2008; 50 murders in one weekend is not unheard of. Local gangs are viciously territorial and ruthless in their victimization of the hardworking, law-abiding majority. Noemi Hurtado, an 83-year-old who has lived a stone's throw from Katherine's house for the past 51 years, has never once crossed into the barrio of La Silsa. "It's too dangerous," she says. "I would never go there." When Noemi moved to western Caracas, the La Silsa barrio didn't yet exist; the hills surrounding the valley were forested and, she remembers, there were waterfalls.

  • A few blocks away from the Cabañas' home in the Malate shopping area, Angelita Cabaña, buys a week's worth of rice for the photo shoot. Fortified storefronts are not unusual: most small sari-saris (variety/convenience shops, often just a window on the street) have similar rails, or bars, for security. Angelita's purchase is unusual: most people in this working-class area buy smaller amounts, handing in their money then getting their rice beneath the bars. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 238).
