be careful of strip club/bars in Europe...On the day I turned 17 in summer, me and a bunch of guys were in Europe. We had just been in Amsterdam and we took a train to Budapest, Hungary. Budapest was cool. The ppl there were pretty nice and didn't gawk at Asian tourists. Our group was mostly Korean with a few white dudes.
So, on the day I turned 17, my 18 year old friend, S, thought it would be a great idea to take me to a strip bar, just me and him and he'd pay for me. At midnight we go to the most gaudy and popular strip club we could find. As soon as we stepped in, the bouncer sat me and my friend, S, at a table near this pole dancer.
After chillin and having a few beers, the owner of the bar brought two babes over and asked me and my friend to buy these two ladies a drink for a lapdance. Before i say anything, my friend obliges and the bartender brings over these expensive looking glasses of wine (i hate wine). Then out of nowhere they get on top of us and start stripping and grinding on us and shit. When they're done five minutes later, they start talking with us and flirting. When they're done talking they do their lapdance again.
And this goes on for about two hours. Every time the stripper are talking with us, I begin to notice they're asking wierd questions like "how long have you been here?", "how long are you staying?" and finally they ask us "what hotel are you staying at?" I told them we were staying at the Marriot, which was bullshit. We were staying in some shitty hostel. To make the situation even more wierder, the bartender keeps bringing us free vodka shots "on the house".
Me and my friend are drunk as hell. Then suddenly while we are talking with the strippers, one of them says if we pay them enough they will take us to a room and do "anything" for us. Bullshit. I asked the owner for the tab before we go any further. I look on the tab and see "1,400" in some wierd currency. I asked the owner to convert this to Euros which were only a little more than U.S. dollars. The owner say "that is Euros" about $1,500 US dollars. My friend starts freaking out. As soon as they see this, the bouncer and the owner escort him to an ATM machine down the street and make him cough up all the cash in his ATM card. Balance = $200. When the bouncer brings him back into the bar, my friend, S, tells me in Korean to lie to them that i have an ATM card and run when I get the chance. SO they take me outside, the stripper and the bouncer, and this bitch has a real tight grip on my arm.
As soon as we get to the ATM, I push the stripper off and blast the fuck out of there, zigzagging through alleys and streets so i can lose them. My adrenalin flushed out the alc so i could run straight. As soon as I'm a good 8 blocks away I lay down on a bench and rest my eyes. I wake up a few minutes later and I see this woman approaching me who is in her late thirties (old enough to be my mom). I was about to ask her for directions but she grabs my cock and asks me if I'm interested in a "sex program". I say "no thanks" and I continue moving in the relative direction of my hostel.
There are cop cars on every street I go on. and i'm getting paranoid as hell. I'm worried the bar called the cops on me or my friend is sitting in the police station right now. If either happened, one of my parents would have to fly all the way to Budapest to bail us out. I'm also really lost and quite drunk.
I come across a few fellow American tourists and ask them for directions to my hostel, which coincidentally was a block away. I go the front of the hostel and see two cop cars drive past it. FUCK, I was screwed. But they just passed me like nothing happened. I cautiously make my way up to my hostel room and I find my friend in there smoking a cig. Damn, I was relieved. He was too.
It turned out that they just let him go after seeing he had no more money. In the end they were just trying to gyp us. Thats why they kept giving us "free drinks" and why the strippers kept asking where we were staying at, so they could make sure we didnt get away. All the free drinks were included in the tab, the wine we bought for the girls was the most expensive drink they had there, and they charged us for the lap dances and strip show as well.
I never stepped into a strip bar again...
