Today there was a bombing in one of the major business squares of Turkey where my hotel is located.
I was no where near Taksim Square (the incident where the bombing happened), I was actually on a boat going to a island near the Asian side of Istanbul. I went bike riding the whole entire day and didn't know that anything really went on until I was on that island.
We are still staying in a hotel near the square for one more day before we head off to Ankara (the capital) for the rest of our travel component. We had a meeting tonight to lay out more safety boundaries and such. Overall, I am so thankful that all of us were instantly accounted for within the first five minutes of hearing about the bombing.
Here is a CNN article on it if you are interested:

I am doing fine. It's weird to come back to the hotel and everything around us is generally back to normal.
