I've a big curiosity. I watch a lot of movies, and as you may know, New York is often the place where good part of U.S. movies take place.

Now, the image I get from these movies and from newspapers is the image of a really dangerous city; today I went into a bookstore and looked at a tourist guide for New York - in one of the first pages, where the "important indications for the tourist" were, it's written:

"It's always better to move by Taxi and to avoid the Underground. After 7 p.m. it's necessary to not walk alone in unknown streets, and the Underground must be abolutely avoided."

Now, I think many of you are from New York: is it really a dangerous place? Did something bad ever happened to you in New York? And what about your home city?

When I asked the above question to a friend of mine who lives in New York he said:

"no nothing bad ever happened to me. Well, my uncle was a Taxi Driver in New York and a punk shot him in the head".
