A bomb exploded in Mersin yesterday. As usual, I didn’t hear about it until I read the international news websites the next day.
A home-made bomb planted in a rubbish bin has injured a 25-year-old woman in southern Turkey, officials say.
One person dressed as a dustman was held in connection with the blast in the Mediterranean port city of Mersin.
I feel perfectly safe living here and have always done so, except for the odd occasion my life is in danger from locals forcing me to eat too much food.
