<p>Macedonian is a Slavic language closely related to Bulgarian. My untrained ear can&rsquo;t tell the difference between the two, but my eyes spot differences immediately. In addition to minor variations in spelling and grammar, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_alphabet">Macedonian&rsquo;s Cyrillic alphabet</a> uses a handful of characters not present in Bulgarian&rsquo;s, for example the beautiful ligatures for &ldquo;ль&rdquo; and &ldquo;нь&rdquo;: љ and њ, respectively.</p>

<p>What better vessel could there be than an iconic, former-East-German <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant">Trabant</a> for navigating a narrative of Bulgaria&rsquo;s communist era? A few clever young Bulgarians have bought a little blue &ldquo;Trabi&rdquo; and are giving free tours of Sofia with the aim of doing just that.</p>

<p>&ldquo;<em>STOP!</em>&rdquo; he shouts, right as I&rsquo;m about to take my money from the ATM in downtown Sofia. Alarmed, I turn around to find some bearded man standing right behind me, holding what — at first glance — looks like a gun. &ldquo;<em>Holy shit,</em>&rdquo; I think, &ldquo;<em>am I about to get jacked?</em>&rdquo;</p>
