I'm afraid I'm going to have to be just a wee bit serious for the beginning of the post, followed by a mood whiplash. I've been very luck studying in Scotland, it's a very safe place, and the worst thing that can happen to you is slipping in the rain or being attacked by a drunk man in a kilt... which is rarer then you think. A lot of people study abroad in fascinating areas, with Europe and Australia being the most popular for some people. However, two wonderful people I know are studying in Istanbul.
Usually, I stanbul is a very safe place, as many of my Semester at Sea friends will know. IU recent;ly went to Lodnon for awhile, another popular area for study, for good reason. like Istanbul and Edinburgh, it is an area where young people flourish with their education. If you've been paying attention in the news, you know where I'm headed. If not, I'll shorten this nonsense rant.
On July 7th, 2005, 52 people were killed in a rash of suicide bombs in the London underground. This past Monday, 32 people were inured by a suicide bomber in Taksim. thankfully only two people are in critical condition. From what I understand, my friends are okay. But for everyone studying abroad, or even those back home, please wish the victims well. I hope soon suicide bombs can be a thing of the past.
