    I have about a dozen friends that live in Ankara still and today is the second time in a few weeks that a big explosiin has rocked the city. It's crazy seeing all the, "marked safe" posts on Facebook from them. Some of them are really rattled this time. Just three years ago I was partying it up in Kizilay where the explosions are happening. They are all in danger since that's the city centre where most restaurants and clubs are located. I moved there to continue my journalism studies and was hoping to make my way close to Syria. Ankara seemed like the safest place possible, but now it seems to be the hottest spot in all of Turkey. What's next for that beautiful country and its people. :- (

    • the state of journalism is pretty precarious in Turkey right now, isn't it? I understand that dissenting voices aren't encouraged.Gnash
