I've never been to London so I can't really compare the two, but the NYC subway is very loud and anything can happen - no one is really surprised by people these days. Which is why it's so weird that I was.

Honestly, if I could go back in time, I wish I could actually have had the conversation with him to know why I got singled out. These things happen so quickly that we're only left to ponder what the meaning of it could have been.
