Held at knifepoint in Sozopol Bulgaria

“Lipstick bar”

Went with my brother and sister - had 4 Bulgarian beers and one glass of wine which was quoted as €3.50.

Bill came in at €85. Lol.

Random “€50” charge for the “music”.

Said okay nice try and offered €30.

4 men ran at us and a grandpa shoved a flick knife into the chest of my brother and then my neck. A man threatened to punch my sister in the face even after my brother paid €100 after being punched in the face and is bleeding around his mouth.

Called the police - they couldn’t tell us when they’d arrive and the operator hung up on us as I had a knife held to my throat. They didn’t arrive after 15 minutes and we left.

I had such a great impression of Bulgaria before. Now what the actual hell. I can’t believe this actually happened. What a shit impression of this country. I feel so bad for all the Bulgarians who have been so nice to us on this trip. Mafia culture ruins it completely - I’m never coming back and warn all Brits never to come here.
