This is Ferdowsi Square in Tehran. Around this square you can find banks and money exchange locations.
This thing is, you cannot withdraw money from ATM's with Western bank cards; debit or credit. You have to take cold hard cash into the country, either Euro's or US Dollars, and exchange it for their Rials. It think we exchanged 2 or 300 Euro's and you receive a huge pile of bank notes in return. The biggest note is 100.000 Rial and is worth a couple of Euro's.
My Dutch bank app on my phone also didn't work. You can't go to the bank's website either. All filtered for some reason. Only other country where I had the similar problems was Lebanon. You can only withdraw money from ATMs of some banks in Lebanon. Later I found out that some Libanese banks have ties with political parties which are on a black list.
In April 2017 Trump was just in office and a year later he reinvorced the sanctions on Iran. In the Obama era, who dropped the sanctions, IranAir ordered 100 Boeings and 100 Airbus aircrafts. They were never delivered.

In the heart of Skopje, the vibrant capital of North Macedonia, lies the centuries-old Old Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. This is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, where Ottoman mosques, old caravanserais, and small shops line the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking here feels like stepping back in time. While exploring, we needed some Macedonian cash. At first, I was a bit skeptical about exchanging money at a small office right in the bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. It looked very modest, with a tiny counter and a handwritten sign. Behind the glass sat a boy of about twelve with a calculator. His English was surprisingly good – probably better than his father’s, who was working in the back. The exchange rate turned out to be excellent – much better than the banks – and there was no commission. We decided to exchange a small amount, and everything was spot on. The next day, we came back to change a larger amount. Thanks to the good rate, our cocktails that evening suddenly became much cheaper. An unexpected but charming experience that perfectly matched the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the bazaar.
While exploring Skopje’s Old Bazaar, we exchanged money at a tiny Döviz Bürosu that looked a bit sketchy at first. The young boy behind the counter spoke great English, the rate was excellent with no commission, and everything went smoothly – so well that we came back the next day to change more.
In het hart van Skopje, de bruisende hoofdstad van Noord-Macedonië, ligt de eeuwenoude Oude Bazaar – Stara Čaršija. Dit is een van de grootste en oudste bazaars van de Balkan, waar Ottomaanse moskeeën, oude karavanserais en kleine winkeltjes elkaar afwisselen. Smalle steegjes en geplaveide straatjes leiden je langs geurige kruidenwinkels, tapijten, koperwerk en kleurrijke marktkramen. Het voelt alsof de tijd hier een tandje trager gaat. Toen wij hier rondliepen, hadden we Macedonisch geld nodig. Ik was in het begin wat sceptisch om geld te wisselen bij een klein kantoortje midden op de bazaar: Döviz Bürosu – Exchange Office. Het zag er eenvoudig uit, met een piepklein loket en een handgeschreven bordje. Achter het glas zat een jongen van een jaar of twaalf met een rekenmachine. Zijn Engels was verrassend goed, beter nog dan dat van zijn vader die achterin het kantoortje bezig was. De koers bleek echter uitstekend – beter dan bij de banken – en er werd geen commissie gerekend. We besloten een klein bedrag te wisselen, en alles klopte perfect. De volgende dag zijn we teruggegaan om een groter bedrag te wisselen. Dankzij de goede koers werden de cocktails die avond ineens een stuk goedkoper. Een onverwachte maar charmante ervaring die helemaal past bij de warme en gastvrije sfeer van de bazaar.
একটি সহৃদয় (কাল্পনিক) বাক্যালাপ :
প্রশ্নকর্তা : কাকা, আজকে গরমটা একটু বেশি পড়সে না...? কি কন...?
কাকা : হ বাজান !
প্রশ্নকর্তা : এক কাপ চা খাইবেন নাকি আমার লগে?
কাকা : (সন্দেহের দৃষ্টি নিয়ে) না বাজান । গরমের দিনে আবার চা কিয়ের ?
প্রশ্নকর্তা : খায়া দেখতে পারেন কাকা । ভিতরে গরম হইলেই দেখবেন বাইরেরডাও কিমুন ঝরঝরা লাগে ।
(কোন কথা নাই)
প্রশ্নকর্তা : কাকায় সারাদিন যে এমুন বইসা থাকেন, আয় রোজগার কিরুম হয় ?
কাকা : ভালা না বাজান । যেই কয়ডা ট্যাকা হাতে আয়ে, হেইডা দিয়া কি এই দুনিয়ায় চলন যায় ?
প্রশ্নকর্তা : কিন্তুক আপনের সামনে তো কাকা ট্যাকার অভাব নাই ! আপনের মুখে যে এই কথা ?
কাকা : (সামান্য হেসে) বাজান গো, এই জীবনে কত রহমের খেলাই তো খেললাম রে বাজান । পিচ্চিকালে লুঙ্গি কাছা দিয়া খেলসিলাম ফুটবল - কয় হাতে ধরণ যাইবো না । পোলারে দেখছি হেতে তার ইস্কুলে খেলছে, বিস্কিট দৌড় না কি জানি নাম । হেই বিস্কিটও হাতে ধরণ যাইবো না । ঐগুলানও তো সামনেই আছিল, হাতে তো ধরবার পারি নাই । এইডাও এই রহমই একখান খেলা বাজান । সামনেই পইড়া আছে । বাতাস আইসা মাঝে মইধ্যে উড়ায়াও দিতেছে ট্যাকা গুলানরে, কিন্তুক নিজের লুঙ্গির কোচায় ঢুকাইবার পারি না । সেই সাহস আমারে আল্লায় দেয় নাই গো বাজান.......

Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2008.
The root of all evil.
The root of perpetual happiness.
The circle of the devil.
The trap of devouring greediness.
Captured from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Street Money Exchangers flock in some footpaths of Dhaka, where new bank notes are exchanged for burnt, torn and old notes, with a little percentage for the exchanger.

A street vendor working the late shift on Khao San road. I think he's making Indian style pancakes called maida paratha in Thai. (which basically means flat bread made with cake batter) They'll put all kinds of different things in (at your request) like fruit (banana seems to be the most popular) chocolate, sugars, syrups... it's mostly desert related toppings, but I usually go for the "traditional" style with just the sweet cream syrup, and they're delicious! (it tastes like a funnel cake but the texture and shape are different)
I made this time stack by combining 200 photos into one image, using the mean stack mode in Photoshop.
Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I used. youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc
Bureau de change.
Ok, I never noticed before than here in Canada (at least in Quebec and Ontario), Money Exchange places write the word "sexy" with money symbols. Please comment below to let me know who knew about this. I am curious! Thanks in advance!
Bon, j'ai dernièrement remarqué que les bureau de change au Canada (tout du moins au Québec et en Ontario) écrivent le mote "sexy" avec les symboles des monnaies. Le saviez-vous ? Veuillez apporter vos commentaires ci-dessous. Je suis curieux! ;-)
Par avance, merci !
Wow.. a divers amount of things are available between these two stores along Henri-Bourassa in Montreal North.. to the left a dollar store.. essentially a thrift shop that trades, buys and/or sells goods including gold, offers money exchange and XXX DVD's (LOL).. to the right an Haitian (read Voodoo) inspired variety store selling everything from oil lamps, skulls, Documentaries & ritual accessories on Voodoo, dance courses in Haitian folklore and apparently a consultation with someone called Zeb Ate.. not sure if that's a Voodoo consultant or a job hunter service.. Wikipedia kinda goes astray here.. in short.. looks fascinating and interesting

John 2:14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
While Jesus had to drive people from the temple courts for exchanging money, I find that my churches seem to fail to talk about money at all. Money is a private matter. We don't have a right in the church to challenge how people earn their money, spend their money, give their money. Jesus spoke about money more than almost any other topic. It is a deeply spiritual matter... and with our current economy, our struggles with money are affecting us in deep spiritual ways. Will we have the courage to talk about them with one another?
You can find exchange houses like this in the Siem Reap market, where you can exchange money or get a cash advance on your credit card. They bear interesting names like 'Apsara Exchange' etc. (apsaras are celestial beauties in Hindu mythology, usually depicted as sinuously hipped and melon breasted in sculptures, paintings etc.) The exchange house was the last ditch effort to get some cash as my bank had summarily blocked international withdrawals without notice. Fortunately, I managed without resorting to this measure. (Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2008)
