No the hand sanitizer story will stick with me for a while I think 😂
The book series sounds interesting and now that you pointed out your experience I totally believe that it was quite bad some years ago. I didn't post about it because I was unsure about the truth of it, but one site I read online said that some areas in the city are "no go" zones even for police. It said that locals monitor who comes and goes from the neighborhood and that people openly walk around with AK 47's hahaha. It sounded too far fetched to mention but...maybe there's is some truth to it from back in the day???
Thanks for sharing your experience of the city.
I didn't see any guns but probably there were many!
As I said nothing tragic actually happened but it was a good shake and a useful realisation that we are not as badass as we liked to believe :)
Your post reminded me all that and I just felt like sharing!
Thank you for listening.
For sure, everyone is a badass until they're life is actually threatened haha I've definitely been there too when I was younger. When you actually end up in a bad situation though it's usually like "why the heck did i put myself into this situation!?!" 😆
