The Ancient Coin Scam
I always like to do my research on common scams in places I’m visiting and yet, somehow, I avoided finding out about the ancient coin scam that is not too uncommon around ancient sites in Turkey. I had worried that Turkey was going to be a tough destination in terms of pushy sales people and scam artists but had found I felt far less hassled than I did back when I was studying in Paris. Sure, there were plenty of people trying to get you to buy their wares but saying a simple no and wandering off had always ended things. While I still feel this way about Turkey in general, I formed this opinion before we visited Ephesus.

A song in Zanjan
The evening streets are full of echoes as we meander downhill through the golden dapple and lengthening shadow, the drowsy warmth radiating from bricks and concrete and ceramic tiles as the long hot day breathes out. Our laughter too hangs in the air, lingering in the hour between the insane heat of the day and the chill of the night ahead, reverberating, softening and fading against dry dust, mingling with rich smells and subtle sounds. The sharp tang of garlic and spices, the feral waft of drains and ditches, the smoke of charcoal and incense, the ghost of petrol fumes, threaded by the musical skeins of goat bells drifting down with uncanny clarity from the foothills of the mountains crowding behind the town.
