Istanbul
 
...Fu....it, Yesterday there was a bombing in Istanbul again.
I´planned to stay there for a week or so to see the City and do some Aikido there.
I´m now wondering if it´s a wise plan to stay in terror shattered areas.
As I experienced riots in India an the Casamance, I know it´s unlikely to be just there at the time an attack occurs, but nonetheless I feel uncomfortable...
What are your thoughts about visiting higher risk areas?

Would you go shopping in London?
Have coffee in the street in Venice?
Sit on the beach at Nice?
Drink beer in a bar in Madrid?

Who knows what is going to happen? Do what you are happy with. For me the risk is low and I would go and all of the above. If you feel unsafe walk away.
