Follow Up: Taj Mahal in Bangladesh

I haven't visited the Taj yet and don't plan to. Some of my relatives went there on the 11th, and they were really disappointed. They said that the transportation was very bad, and they had to walk a long way for lack of rickshaw vans. It wasn't worth all the trouble.

People have already figured out the scam.

Things are heating up as the apparently agitated owner fights back.

"It's the Taj of Bangladesh. If you want to see the real Taj you have to travel to the Indian city of Agra and spend at least 20,000 taka. It costs just 50 taka to see my Taj," Ahsnanullah Moni said. "There's nothing I can do if a visitor is disappointed."

Bangladeshi 'Taj Mahal' owner slams critics

Sure, after all the visitors were dumb enough to visit this cheap imitation of the Taj in the first place. It's only fair that those 'dimwits' got robbed in broad daylight.

And who is responsible for the humiliation, the country had to suffer? Let me guess....

I know, I know - Emperor Shahjahan! Hey, he is the guy who built the original years ago. We should sue him.

Now, can I hope to get a PS3 or at least a cookie for this startling revelation? Anyone?
