Simit / Kind of Bagel

Typical Turkish Bagels. You see these fellows everywhere in Istanbul.

Actually not in Istanbul only, they are in whole Turkey. It is very

cheap. We usually have some cheese and tea with it. No matter, it is

rains or snows, these guys are always there, in every single corner.

Money Money Money

All started with bartering, then shells, after that, first metal money

in China. First silver coins were first shown in Lidya (Turkey). This

was on a bank window in Eminonu. I gues the are trying to show how the

coins looked like in the ancient times. I see coins from Ottoman

times, then i see some Turkish Lira and Kurus...Other than that, do

not know what this little men are doing there...
