wow...but you walk around on the streets "alone" with an 800euros camera?:/ Were they big? if you were with more people you could fight with them.
Well..once something seemed hapenned to me.. one guy followed me in the same bus i caught and followed me.. i noticed the guy after i got out of the bus kept following me.
later when i was almost in a desert street in way to school he asked me what time it was (i thought : "damn now i know he really wants to steal me")as i was going to pass trough that desert street where noone could help me or something i started going back (the street we were has a lot of cars passing and stuff) to the bus to go back home he shouted: "where are you going?" i didnt reply to him so he ran to front of me, stoped and asked me to give all i had in the pockets and said he had a knife, i started running and entered in a café (he didnt run after me because people in cars and in the other side of the street would notice he was going after me) he hided behind some cars hoping to get me when i get out of the café but the owner took me to school
.
I saw the guy in the bus once more but he didnt try it again.
I really felt lucky because i remembered i was going to pass trough a desert street and that would have been fatal for my cell phone.
I felt scared for somedays to do the same route but it all went back to normal.
BTW we also say metro here
Unfortunately in my city there isnt metro yet.. (only in 2008 or 2018 something like that rofl)i can take the bus (15 mins to reach the place to catch the boat more 15 minutes and then i reach Lisbon where i can take the subway lol) Only Lisbon Porto And Almada have metro (Almada subway is gona be finished in some months) subway is a really cool transport
