Just had another earthquake here. I had the awesome luck of being on the toilet when it happened. Yeh....so not cool. I am that much closer to knowing how it feels to die in an earthquake while on the toilet though! yah! This one was apparently a 5.5 and epicenter was in the same place as last weeks. Too early to tell if there was any damage.
In other news, they caught a guy in Istanbul this week trying to bomb the metro station. News said he was from PKK. Apparently they didnt catch someone though because an explosion went off elsewhere. Only two people were injured luckily. There have also been a bunch of car torchings in Istanbul recently. Hey! Guess where I am going this Saturday? Istanbul!
And apparently Ankara is like Richmond in that everywhere around it gets snow. A couple people have frozen to death from the cold in Central Anatolia. But no sign of snow here even though its def. cold enough.
Halfway across the world in Indonesia, lots of rain has caused flooding and landslides. My sisters place got flooded, but not as bad as some of her friends houses. Everyone she knows is okay though. All the water is polluted now. Lots of roads are closed due to landslides.
Gonna go try and sleep now. Check out the news for updates on the earthquake, car torchings, and turkish air raids in iraq!
