Achtung! Men Verboten
Where: Germany
Japan might've started things with the women-only train carriages to put a stop to unwanted ass-grabbing, but Germany's got a few nice fraulein-friendly initiatives of their own. Berlin's Inter Mezzo Hotel für Frauen is not only free of busy crowds of beer-swilling men, but is also walking distance to the historic sit-at-Starbucks ambience of Brandenburg Gate, the inhumanly shiny Potsdamer Platz, and a hearty breakfast of delicious cold cuts along Unter den Linden.
Most importantly, the hotel supplies rooms with what women really need: Big cupboards and cotton face wipes, instead of a minibar full of whisky and shoe shine kits. However, what we really applaud in Germany is Frauenparkplätze: women driving alone get the pick of the car park spots most convenient to well-lit exits. What we're waiting for now is a female-only Autobahn. Just think how much the drivers would respect each other.
