"On the metro" Transportation Tip by Maria_75

Most of the time you will not have any problems when you take the metro, but you should still take care. There can be lots of people crammed inside there, so take care with your belongings. I know a lot of people that got both themselves and their pockets picked...

Another thing to watch out for is people that are very helpful... If you ask someone for help or directions they will most of the time stop and help you. But if someone stops you and ask if you need help you should be very cautious...

This happened to us once we took the metro. A man approached us and asked where we were going. We told him, and "luckily" he was going the same way. What a coincidence... The only problem was that he was going the complete opposite way of what we were going. He insisted this was the right way, but we knew it wasn't and didn't want to go there. We wouldn't have followed him anyway, no matter how nice he seemed.

He was talking plenty and was so nice and charming. The nicer he got, the more suspicious we got... We tried to get away from him many times, but he kept following us and saying he would show us the right way. In the end we had to go to a policeman and pretend we were asking for directions, and then he disappeared very quickly...
