I also came terrifyingly close to becoming a stab victim in Frankfurt. Those blocks around the train station are as hard as any place I've been.

  You nailed it. That Irish pub across from the Frankfurt train station isn't a super-safe establishment.

  Anon goes into daylight. "This German guy looked directly at me, he was probably about to stab me." "Europe is so dangerous omg."

    Here's what happened...A crazy guy started screaming at me randomly and made a move to stab me with a knife but got handled by other bar patrons. (it seemed like some knew him). That sort of shit happens in Europe like it happens anywhere else in the world. What I should have done is research where not to go but I was 20 years old.

    Shit happens in every city in the world. I was assaulted by a raving lunatic with a metal pipe while I was shopping… at a Christmas market in Oslo, Norway, probably one of the safest cities in the world. Had I not been aware or mobile enough to get out of the way of his swings at me, I could have been killed (he was a pretty big guy). I still think Oslo is incredibly safe, but shit happens anywhere

    You could have just asked for the story rather than make one up. A homeless guy on a street full of druggies near Frankfurt hbh asked for a euro and I said no I can't help you. He walked directly to a spot nearby where he kept a knife, and brandishing the knife, he paced towards me. I put my back to the wall of a nearby building and watched as he approached. About 10 meters from me his friend intervened and talked him down. He walked away instead of assaulting me.
