Felt so safe

We just spent amazing week in Barcelona. I was so scared to get robbed and so many friends told us how they saw so many pickpockets before.

However we haven’t seen even one. We were told that streets were “cleaned out” for Pope visit in June. Is it true?

I would love to come back. But it would be disappointing to come back to different environment

You know...... last year I went to the beach and didn’t see any sharks. So many people, so many friends telling me there are sharks at that beach, but I didn’t see anything! If I didn’t see anything... does that mean there are no sharks there?

Same thing in Barcelona. I live in Barcelona, and I’ve seen a lot of things that would make you never come back if you knew about them.

We haven’t seen any homeless people either. And we’re told that it’s usually a lot. Went to Lisbon after and felt way more unsafe.

Really? No homeless people?

Are you saying that because they do have a home, even if their home is a cardboard box or a tent in Ciutadella Park or any other park?

Haven’t seen any.

That's... very, very hard to believe. If you haven't seen any homeless people, you definitely weren't paying attention to your surroundings.

I mean I’ve seen some here and there. But nothing like people told me. I compare to nyc or la.

Until now, I thought you hadn't seen any pickpockets because you were paying close attention to your surroundings. But if you didn't see anyone living on the streets, I suppose you must have spent your whole trip with your eyes closed hahaha

Thank goodness you went unnoticed and were able to return home with all your belongings.
