Who says it was a man who killed her though? Nonetheless it's a horrible act and whoever's responsible should suffer the consequences.

I honestly can not "go" on a squat type toilet without either: removing my pants and underpants, which takes a lot of time and can get messy OR soiling my own pants. Never got the hang of it :/

My wife and I had the worst experience ever on a train in Japan! We had to take the Tokkaido line from Yokohama to Shinagawa station after a typhoon hit the area in 2011. It was easily said the most horrible train ride ever :( Public transport hadn't been up for about 4 hours, so we were literally canned in like sardines. The ride which would normally take about 15 minutes or so took about an hour because it went so slow (like 10 km/h). It's safe to say that train was over 300% capacity! Hope we'll never have to endure that again :o
