  • Stick fishermen otherwise known as stilt fisherman fishing in the Indian Ocean on 17 April 2016 in Sri Lanka. Stilt fishing is a method of fishing unique to Sri Lanka, located off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. The fishermen sit on a cross bar called a petta tied to a vertical pole and driven into the sand a few meters offshore. From this high position, the fishermen casts his line, and waits until a fish comes along to be caught. Although the approach looks primitive and ancient, stilt fishing is actually a recent tradition believed to have started during World War II when food shortages and overcrowded fishing spots prompted some men to try fishing on the water. Today, many fishermen rent their stilts to “actors” who pose as fishermen for photographers and tourists.

  • 1,890 meters (6,200 feet) above sea level and surrounded by lush tea plantations in Sri Lanka's Hill Country district of Nuwara Eliya, women tea pickers bend over trees to harvest Ceylon tea leaves that are taken to the white building on the left for processing. A carpet of velvety green tea bushes stretch into the far distance. This is the heart of the island's tea industry but was a pleasure retreat of the European planters due to its temperate English climate that produces the finest leaves for the country's economy. Teas from this highest region are described as the champagne of Ceylon teas. The leaf is gathered all year round but the finest teas are made from that plucked in January and February. The best teas of the area give a rich, golden, excellent quality liquor that is smooth, bright, and delicately perfumed.

With variously-sourced teas from tea estate plantations, they smell, touch, sip, slurp then spit the hot drink out into a spittoon rather than swallow it many times repeatedly. Britons drink 35 million cups of PG Tips a day and world tea production is approximately 3.2 million tonnes a year. Kenya is the largest producer with Sri Lanka a close second. PG Tips is imported as single estate teas from around the world and blended in precise proportions set by the tea tasters to make blend 777, which can contain between 12 and 35 single estate teas at any one time depending on season.

  • An aircraft cleaner from Kathmandu, Nepal, stands in white overalls with his bucket and mop on the tarmac at Bahrain International airport.

Gulf states also rely on the workforces from south-Asia such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh whose wages are often low and harsh living conditions compared to local nationals and tourists who enjoy superior accommodation.
