Meant to be traveling to Istanbul next Sunday for a holiday with my girlfriend. Should I be concerned given ANOTHER bombing has just occurred today?
It doesn't phase me too much but... it's still a bit scary.
RIP in peace anon

I'd cancel and do something else if it were me.
If you can't, I'd certainly register with your own embassy and have smart phones that work while you're there.

There's like 10 million people in Istanbul.
Even if there's another bombing, it will maybe kill 10 people.
You're more likely to get hurt riding in a turkish cab.

Tell your gf she can stay with me

More like 17 million if you include the people who aren't registered. It's one of the biggest cities on earth.
OP, you'll be fine, it's a safe city by most standards, arguably safer than big Western ones like London or Paris.

Ignore babies like this. I lived in Istanbul and was back a few months ago, it's a wonderful city and a bombing isn't reason to run away like a scared dog. Don't be like this cowardly paranoid American. Go and have fun.

14 million, actually. And 4 died in the last bombing.
What utter, utter arrogance to worry about this type of shit. Everybody thinks he's the star of his own goddamn movie, so of course he's gonna be the target of the bad guys. OP is a fag.

Turks are imperialistic xenophobes who are picking fights with several nations/peoples and currently actively supporting ISIS. Few blasts were here and there with foreigner casualties and political unrest/censorship. It's generally safe but keep those things in mind.
