Hand Creative Animal Paintings
Hand Painting animal figures is an amazing example of artwork created two of the most ancient means of creating art, human body and paint. Although, after looking at the image below, you will have to admit that we have come a long way from painting cave walls with primitive drawings of prehistoric beasts and painting our bodies with symbols to drive away the evil spirits.

Top 10 Cheapest Cities In The World
10 (Joint). Johannesburg
In joint tenth place on the list of cheapest cities in the world is the south African city of Johannesburg. Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa, and has the largest economy of any city within Africa. This is due to the size of the city, as well as the resources which surround it which include both gold and diamonds. In addition, Johannesburg is the hub of Southern African travel. Despite this the cost of living in Johannesburg is very low and this could be due to many reasons. Firstly, due to the city being located in Africa labour is relatively cheap. In addition building for housing occurs quite a lot, and so housing cost can be cheap, especially when compared to cities of a similar size in western nations. Finally currency fluctuations at the time of compiling the stats led to South Africa being cheap. All of these factors combine to position Johannesburg joint tenth on a list of least expensive cities in the world in which to live.
