Or at least try to ensure that all tourists are advised to go around looking as miserable as possible at all times. As Douglas Hoffstadter put it : 'Epimenides was a Cretan who made one immortal statement: "All Cretans are liars." *' The quotation from Epimenides has actually been around since the third century BC. Aah, but "immortal" and "true" are evidentially not mutually exclusive, or at least this experience offered no such evidence given that the scammers were of just about every nationality except Greek.
