Himba woman - Angola
Himba tribe is famous is Namibia, but they also live in south Angola, crossing the borders without any visas (lucky people!).
In Angola, most of them live in remote areas, far from the towns, and are not spoiled by modernity. Himbas people are living in little villages, but they are rich people: they own a lot of cows, and a cow costs 1500 us dollars in Luanda! So when a himba family has 100 or 200 cows, imagine the money they have.
The only task is to take care of the cattle. So once the job is done, the men's lfe is rather boring, and alcool is a good friend to kill time.
