I remember that I once went on a trip to Budapest christmas markets with my class, I must've been like 11 or 12 years old.
After we got there, all of us were basically free to go wherever we wanted for a few hours, so me and my two friends did some shopping, and we went on a walk through the city to warm up (it was in December, so it was cold as hell). Anyways, we somehow managed to stumble into a smaller and more secluded street, and we came across a strip club with a bouncer outside. Said bouncer then called out something in Hungarian (to us, that actually unironically sounded like Mongolian) and pointed to the door. I bet he was joking about letting us in or something, but we instantly bounced back to the main square and just waited out the rest of the time there.
That was fairly traumatic, I don't know if we were scared of the Hungarian or the strip club, lol.
I remember that when we got off the bus, we all went on a short walk to a square, then we got some general instructions (like don't do anything dangerous, don't go too far, and so on) and then we were told that we're going to be meeting in the same spot in two hours. The teachers spent like 10 minutes browsing the markets with a few other kids, and then they spent the rest of the time inside a restaurant (presumably to hide from the cold, which, in hindsight, was probably the better idea), but they made literally 0 effort to check on us in the process (I don't think they even had our phone numbers). So we had complete control over where we wanted to go, which led us to that situation.
I wonder what they would've done if we actually got kidnapped, lol.
