- miscellaneous

The stuff that doesn't fit into the other categories. A variety of topics such as TEFL, translation, timezones, hostels, health, survival, knots, cybercafes and more.

If you know of a site which I have missed and which you think highly of, click submit a link - if it's as good as you say, I'll include it.
All links open in a new window. Sites marked are an idiot approved.

Babel Fish
Translation		 Translate a block of text (up to 150 words) or a whole web-page (just type or paste the url) from one language to another.

Current languages offered are English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish.		 The leader in free online translation, with more languages in the pipeline.

(Babel rhymes with table, not babble - hear, read or (as a last resort) see 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams for the full fishy tale.)

Don't forget you can access the babelfish translator directly from an idiot abroad's toolbox.

Center of Travelology An easy way to count your countries. Take the online test, tick each country, add them up and 'grade' yourself.

Send them an email and they will send you the full travelology test, which will rate your travels on aspects other than countries visited. Then you may be eligible for a diploma, and can join their gang, if you want.		 It's a shame you have to add up the numbers yourself, but it's not too hard and it's just a bit of fun, so why not give it a go.

Ropers Knots Many of the featured knots also link to their corresponding entry in other knot-sites, where you will find photos and animations which may help to explain an unclear tying procedure. Unfortunately many of these links are now dead.

Check out The Knotting Dictionary of Kännet where contributors add what they know about the knots. 		Everybody should have a handful of the most useful knots in their repertoire, and this is the place to get them.

A simple, clear and organised site. The knots are sorted by category, with clear tying instructions, suggested uses and possible dangers.

The links page lists many other good knot sites if this one is not to your liking.
