Yep...smiling here is a way of showing interest! I have learned that through trial and error. I tend to smile all the time...so my students tell me. But I have learned that eye-contact and a smile is a sign of interest. So...if your interested in meeting a man...it's relatively easy to show interest! No funny games. Just a moment of direct eye contact and a smile and away you go.....

Happy hunting ladies!!!!!!!!

In my opinion=
Women should not go to travel alone.
It is not good idea.
They can go to travel if the travel organizes systematic.
Why?
Because the world is full of dangerous for women and men.
Travel plan must be made according to the country conditions.
There are good persons and bad persons.
Ignorance is a big potential dangerous for people everywhere every time.
Everyone must know this reality.

The biggest rule of safety for foreigners traveling alone (not only women)is be aware and avoid areas where there are not other people.
This is not only for women. I know several men who have been victimized by street crime in Ist. and its always late at night in empty streets.

Keith, what about safety near the Ramparts, i.e. along the Theodosian walls near Edirne Kapi, Egri Kapi, Belgrad Kapi, Mevlana Kapi and Blachernae area??
