The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul has over 5,000 shops and attracts hundreds of thousands of people daily who barter for jewellery, ceramics, carpets, embroidaries and much more. But -- it does not have any toys. The Spice Bazaar across town is significantly smaller, but has more of the exotic flare tourists crave with sweets and spices that tantalize all the senses. But -- it is 'smelly' (according to Alex). It also doesn't have any toys. Forum Istanbul, one of Europe's most expansive shopping malls does have toys (and it doesn't smell!) It also has an aquarium -- the Turkuazoo, a Magic Ice Museum, Jurassic Land, bowling alley, cinemas, aracades, and amusement rides! Any guesses where we spent our time?
