have beenll, there some very touching scenes. i saw what appeared to be a korean or japanese tourist crying while leaning against the railings around the egyptian obelisk. it is there that the bombing occurred, and while other people had laid red carnations at the railings of the obelisk, she left a handwritten note. up, and some turks came they threw red carnations at the foot of the hospital is -- at the foot of the obelisk, and tied football scarves with the names of german football teams to the railings. why? to express solidarity with the german tourists killed yesterday. one german tourist, who posted a carnation in the railings, said he heard the explosion yesterday. he was in the mosque a few hundred meters away when it happened. lucky,iders himself very but he finds istanbul a fascinating city and he will keep on coming, and he believes the germans will keep on coming to istanbul because they know, as he knows, that terrorism is a hazard around the world. jasper, thank you for that. jasper mortimer reporting from istanbu
