<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>

<p>&ldquo;<em>Oh wait, WTF, that&rsquo;s not a gun,</em>&rdquo; I say to myself, as I remove my card from the machine. The &ldquo;weapon&rdquo; appears to be a large, hand-held lighter, or maybe a butane torch. &ldquo;<em>Is this guy going to burn me or something?!</em>&rdquo; I think, waiting the longest three seconds of my life for the ATM to spit out my money. Me staring, him rambling, I hear the word <em>leva</em> (the name of the Bulgarian currency) — maybe he&rsquo;s trying to sell it to me? Worst. Salesman. Ever. I grab my money, stuff it into my pocket, and walk away quickly.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m still not sure if I was in danger of getting burned (for example) or if he just wanted to sell the damn thing to me. It will probably be a while before I go back to that ATM again, though!</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>

<h2 id="weaving-a-narrative">Weaving a Narrative</h2>
<p>The &ldquo;<a href="http://sofiacommunisttour.com/">Sofia Communist Tour</a>&rdquo; weaves a historical background of the Balkans, World War II, and the dissolution of the USSR into a narrative and tells it while driving and walking to various Sofia landmarks. The tour is fun and informative, and the guide loves to laugh and share personal stories about growing up in Bulgaria during this period.</p>
<p>I would recommend it to both Bulgarians and foreigners alike!</p>
