there's two countries i'm terrified of visiting-- one is japan, the other is austria. while they might have great reasons to go there (fish in one, coffee and pastries in the other) they seem to me, from afar anyway, very socially rigid, and therefore spooky.
apparently if you're a woman riding the subway (or whatever it's called there) you're gonna get a grope a minute. sounds fucking terrible.
