The Scariest Moment in My Life
Being approached by money changers at the central Budapest railway station. I thought for sure that I was going to die.

Rolled in and out of Keleti a few times, middle of the night included, not at all intimidating. Are you sure?

Re: The Scariest Moment in My Life
The rest of the story is that I was looking to exchange money, but it was early in the morning, and the banks weren't open yet. These guys saw me back off from the door of the branch, and were on me like white on rice in a nanosecond. They were obviously Roma, or some other minority. Their smiles only gave me chills. I might have gotten the deal of my life, but I was sure that there were only possibilities of bad things happening to me. My "spidey senses" are usually right. Hungary is a funny place. One of the great crossroads of the world, and the Hungarians are tremendous people, but there's definitely a dark underside.

Re: The Scariest Moment in My Life
There is everywhere unfortunately, beautiful cities and countries with some wonderful people, but ruined by thieves, pickpockets, scammers.
They are ****, filthy despicable rats. These types are of the same strain that cheat old people of their savings over here, tarmac bast***, driveway liars, as well as all the online cheats. I hate them, and would happily see them dead.

Re: The Scariest Moment in My Life
I recognise the situation but, to be honest, you can't have got yourself in many scrapes if that's the scariest (which is good). Yes, they were undoubtedly scammers. Yes, you'd have come off worst - most likely lost some cash, or worse your wallet. Yes (sad to say, because very few of us enjoy feeling this way) that stereotype about Roma exists for a reason - of course they're not all bad people any more than all Chinese are good people but the stereotype comes to be for a reason. I hope your travels throw up nothing more perilous than that experience.ontario claret wrote:The rest of the story is that I was looking to exchange money, but it was early in the morning, and the banks weren't open yet.

I'd suggest baggy grey track suit bottoms would nail it TBH.thatdberight wrote:Kiraly Gabor if you want to blend in.
