Transcenic Train, unknown area

The guy I mentioned previously is talking about New York. He told the rest that New Yorkers are always busy and rush, but still always late. Then he was telling them about his experience of encountering a scammer in New York. The scammer asked him to change his 20 dollar notes to small change, he did, and then the scammer start screaming and called him to pay him back his $10. The scammer actually called the police and accused him of cheating him. Luckily, the NY police are really professional (according to him). They sense it quickly that it was a scam, then one of the police turn and told him “ just go, I will deal with it”.

Later he starts talking about the major city in Europe again. According to him there are too many pick-pockets in Europe while New York is full of scammer. He told the other his experience again where kids around him in the subway station failed to steal his wallet asks he keep it in the tight jeans with a very deep pocket. He knew what’s happening around him and he happily showed his wallet to those kids through the train’s auto-gated door once he safely walked into the train. The kids actually spat at him and hit the door’s wide window.

He’s been talking for quite a while, and everyone just seems to be happy listening to him. He is a good story teller, great entertainer. Wondering whether it was his great experience that makes him a great speaker or maybe being outspoken is just a gene in the American.
