In my teens and twenties I used to be very adventurous. I used to back-pack around Europe, staying in Youth Hostels and they were the best times of my life. I remember visiting West Berlin, on a train that was sealed as soon as it went over the border into East Germany and not unsealed again until we reached West Berlin. The train was packed with armed guards for the whole journey "just in case anyone wanted to jump off into East Germany" apparently, but I never thought that was terribly likely at the time !
I also travelled by train through Yugoslavia, again with a close guard kept by armed Police. As the train went over the border into Yugoslavia, from Triest, everybody was searched in case we we were trying to smuggle Levis in the country ! Tito thought that jeans in general, and Levis in particular were too much of a temptation for his younger citizens. As a Westerner, carrying a red British Passport, I was allowed to keep mine on !
In Switzerland, of all places, I was briefly arrested for paddling about barefoot in a Basle public fountain, because it was so hot ! But the Swiss Police did give me lunch and a cup of tea, so it wasn't too scary I suppose.
Happy days !
