Apparently I Bring Trouble!

Regardless of where I go...trouble seems to follow me! When I was in Mexico last year, Morelia experienced its first ever public terrorist attack only five minutes from my apartment! Currently here in Germany I am not at all worried or afraid in this situation but it is something that I am aware of and I will be taking all the necessary precautions to make sure I am safe here. The following is a brief description of what's going on in Germany right now:


There is a general threat from terrorism in Germany. Such attacks could be indiscriminate, including in public places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.. Although the German security authorities have averted serious terrorist attacks, they assess that the threat from terrorism remains high and urge individuals to maintain a high level of vigilance.

The German government has taken measures to enhance security throughout the country in the run up to the national elections taking place on 27 September 2009. On 18 September a video was released claiming to be from Al Qaeda warning the German people against re-electing the current government and not removing its troops from Afghanistan.
