You sparked my interest here :-) Why have you experienced so many different riots? Are you a reporter, a protestor or something else?
Right place at the wrong time, mainly. The Istanbul protests were the exception, as I knew several people and wanted to see the situation personally. What is true is that Life Goes On.
