Daily Images | Timbuktu

Daily Images – despite its illustrious history, modern-day Timbuktu, located in Mali in Africa, is an impoverished town, poor even by Third World standards. The city has a reputation where it is best known in Western culture as an expression for a distant or outlandish place. Unfortunately this mythical reputation is a far cry from reality of the modern city and currently it is recommended that tourist stay away. According to WikiTravel, “look out for the dead cats hanging on the telephone cables in the city. It is because you have to dry the fur of the cat before you eat it.”
