How dangerous is Turkey (the country) these days?
Would love to visit Turkey, but a lot of scary sh!! in recent news. Anyone have any feel for how dangerous it really is? Has anyone actually been? Are the archaeological sites worth risking my life, or should I shelve the idea for a few decades?

Turkey's a really cool country. it's got lots and lots of old ruins, it's got Istanbul, it's got cool natural areas...I remember reading once that it has more Roman ruins than Italy does. (Or maybe it was more Greek ruins than Greece does.) I'd love to visit the country, and it was in our top three travel list for several years.
I suspect it's safe. Turks are more European than Middle Eastern, and I think they're proud that they're a secular state rather than a theocracy. That said, I'm pretty much just avoiding the Muslim world these days. I'll wait another 20 years until it's safe again. These things always run in cycles.

I'm going to have to know where you stand on our QB situation before I answer.

I watched every second of every Chiefs game for decades but I haven't watched a single game since the trade for Smith became official. I won't watch another until the Chiefs get serious (my opinion) at the QB position.

OK, only thing I know about Turkey is from a friends daughter who went there for her husbands work. She seemed to enjoy it. Personally, the only way I would go to any country in the mid east is if I was being paid to. Paid very well. EDIT: If you haven't watched Midnight Express you should.

EDIT: I do remember her talking about going to a few different touristy places while they were there.
