One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's how I escape from a scam in Budapest of Hungary.
The first night I arrived Budapest by Bla Bla Car, I walked down my hostel after putting down my luggage. There are two girls asking directions no so far away. I then just brought them to the destination by using Google Map. In front of a bar, one of the girl said it's the birthday of another girl and so I then just enter the pub for a few drinks. The process of talking is going very nice but they started to act "over-nice".
I recognized it's a scam after I got the bill of HUF128.000. I was shocked to tried very hard to negotiate. Finally I successfully cut my loss to HUF20.000 and ended up running away from a mob of scammers at a ATM machine.
How I escape exactly?
Host me! Then I will then you! ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

It's a very interesting story about Butterfly Effect Theory.
In May 2016 I was staying at a hostel in Berlin focused on cooking. There are lots of Refugees at that time, mostly coming from Syria. There is a small kid just around 16 years old, came along from his homeland with other adult Syrian. "His whole family got killed by the war", a highly educated Syrian adult told me. This kid is so silent and always just sit by himself in the courtyard staring at a piece of Berlin Wall. I couldn't figure out what to do except give compliment on potato-tomato-kebap cooked by him.
A few days later on 5 May, Jesus Accension Day, a mid-age German guy who just sit in front of me. Notifying I have made too much Tomato-Hamburger, he talked with me and hang out with me on that day's festival. That day, is also called Man's Day by Berliners. This German Guy revealed his identity that he world for refugee department of Munich Government. And he invited me to stayed at his home at Munich several times.
We then become good friends. Even, he himself didn't know there is a causality of every little things, the singularity point here is the one who has a heart to save the poors(e.g. refugees). I called it Butterfly Effect.
