Confused. Scared. Frustrated.
I found out about 20 minutes ago about the car bombs in Sharm al-Sheik. 30-40 people dead and over a hundred injured. To my relief, Jen is okay, but I still haven't heard from the dozens of other AIESECers who are there.
I've been glued to my computer trying to find out as much information as I can. I've come across articles about how a man was shot in London in connection with the London bombings and how police are starting to do random bag searches on the subways in my home city, New York.
What the hell is this world coming to? It's starting to seem like every week there's another bombing in another country. It's getting TOO NORMAL for me to be sitting at my laptop, waiting for people to comment on nomadlife as to whether or not they're okay! I'm tired of wondering if my friends are dead or alive around the world.
I feel sick.
Confused as to how the world can be continuing to go on while I feel like I've disengaged from it and am looking down at everyone going on with their lives. Will's roommates outside jumping on the trampline... I just want to cry.
When will it happen to someone I know? I hate living in fear.

Jill thanks once again... I am glad all is ok.. with Tamer and all other AIESECers
Take care Jill.......

I feel sick too honey. Everyone here is fine and out of harms way - yet the death toll is over 60 and I feel ill at that thought.
feel exactly the way you feel! Just went online and saw the news. I'm so angry and it feels so bad to write "are you ok emails" all the time... miss you and NY, hope I'll see you and Jen soon! Much love
The thing is that the world is at war... this things are spected during wars...
the main difference in this one is that it is in many countrys... with many inocents losts in all sides...
As you said, it's sad the world that today leaders are buliding... a world with out any tolerance to the different cultures, the different ways of life; a world where the utilitarism way of life is every where, where money is all... and it's more important the the human beeings... that's what makes me really really sad some times...
There are more things i would like to say... but my english is a neck bottle of my thoughts.... :S
Cheer up linda, we must work to chage this world... cuz it looks like if you do not hurry to chage the world, it's the world that chages you...
