We were just talking about this in class, as I am planning on traveling to London, Paris and Berlin (For New Years).
BBC's take from October 1st >> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11456421
All security measures have been raised in Europe. My friend Marieke from France (is from a suburb of Paris) told me today in E-Marketing class that her father works about 50 meters away from The Louvre in Paris, and that there has been heightened security just about everywhere, especially in big European cities. It makes me thankfully I am not studying in Amsterdam or a bigger city, and I am just in Arnhem.
Let me know what you think or what you are hearing on the US media waves. I try to listen to the news each morning when I am getting ready for class, and try to keep up during the day.
