This one is for the ladies. Of the three times I’ve traveled to Europe with a team from my university, two of those times have involved the ladies of our trip being on a very crowded bus or subway and some guy fondling their butts and pushing his erection at them. The biggest problem was apparently that the young ladies could not get over the shock that it was happening to them, and that they did not know how to stop it once it had started.
If ever there was a time to be passive aggressive, it is not at that time. This is when you need to forget being in such a delicate and reformed culture and summon your inner-American; otherwise, you’ll be a victim. Don’t take that crap from that stranger. No matter how crowded it is, you need to yell and cause a scene, and make sure that that person knows that people are watching.
Remember that people may try to fondle you and touch you inappropriately, and remember that there is something you can do about it.
