Dumpster Apartment, New York City

Living costs in New York City are high; nobody disputes that. It has been argued that you couldn’t even rent a dumpster for less than $1,500 per month. One decorator set out to prove that such a thing is possible by creating a fully functional dumpster apartment, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and sun deck, as seen in this installation art piece. And all for only $1,200/month!

Katskhi Pillar, Georgia

Near the Georgian town of Chiatura stands the 130-foot-tall Katskhi pillar, which is made of natural limestone. A hermit from the 9th or 10th century constructed the structure atop the pillar. Maksim Qavtaradze, a Georgian Orthodox monk, currently resides there. Qavtaradze only ventures off his pillar twice a week to collect food from the monastery below, and even then he has to use a ladder to descend the sheer rock face.
