Am I the only one who always get a pleasant adrenaline rush when I'm in a protest with police on the horizon and the faint odor of tear gas floating around?

Not necessarily. But turkish prison is not a pleasant experience from what I hear. And when it has been stated repeatedly that people are wary of foreign involvement, there is no need to pull a Lord Byron  .

It's quite disconcerting when you can hear the sirens and you can see the smoke, all the while fellows in sailor's caps and umbrella hats are still flogging their wares to tourists - "Hello my friend! Where you from? I have just the book for you my friend! Where you from? Hello my friend! Trip bosphorous! You want trip bosphorous two hour!"

That must be somewhat surreal. Business must go on it seems...

Sandblasting is used to strip paint off surfaces, and probably using less pressure than is being used here. "Ow" might be an understatement.

For some reason, I consider her Asian cause of the skin tone and the hairstyle.  Can't see the eyes at all.

Oh yeah.

US embassy also is warning tourists with a general be careful, noting violence could escalate at any time.

Well, I guess it's another reason to have a shield then. Saw a number of protesters getting hosed down who had shields.

Vice did a video on the protests here

Went to Gezi Park today, will upload photos when I get home tomorrow.

[FearfulJesuit]

Oh shit.

It's old news. He's cleared the park and basically told those he met with to fuck off and let him do what he wants.

That is a impressive amount of not giving a fuck, even by Middle-eastern standards.
