M and I wander through the covered narrow streets with their vaulted ceilings and tiled accents. We walk past seemingly endless rows of shops, each one tucked away in its own little nook, their varied goods overflowing into the walkways. Swinging platters holding steaming cups of tea zoom past us. Mustachioed men give us their best sales pitch, trying at least seven different languages; “Hallo! Guten tag? Bonjour? Buenos Dias? Konichiwa?” We wander past the slipper-merchants, mirror-merchants, leather-merchants, past the carpet-merchants, pipe-merchants, lamp-merchants, fur-merchants, gold-merchants, and then we find it. The store we didn’t know was there, but once we saw it, knew we had been looking for. The Grand Bazaar, or Covered Bazaar (Kapaliçarsi) in Istanbul is a magical city within a city. With over 60 streets and more then 4400 shops, the world’s first mall is a buzzing hive of activity, catering to the shopping whims of the some 400,000 people who might visit it on a given day.

I found a couple of fun sites the first is TRANSLATOR, BINARY
it translates text into a binary language (and more) and another one is Words by William Whitaker
which translates English into Latin, and the best for last, the Universal Translator Assistant, which translates English into Klingon, Vulcan and Romulan, ok, ok, I think they are cool.
