Genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City. I've also lived and worked in London, Canberra, Paris and Lusaka, and visited over 100 countries. There's more here.
I was in Vienna for a couple days in March 1993, but had to spend most of that time in jail and didn’t see a single mammal (my cellmates were going through various kinds of withdrawals and apparently saw a lot of critters of all kinds). All I can say is that of all incarceration facilities I’ve been in (in 6 countries), the Austrian jail was by far the worse.
P.S. In case you are curious, I’ve always been arrested for the same kind of thing: geographical crimes (illegal border crossings, entering restricted areas, this sort of thing). In Austria they arrested me for being there without a visa when I was trying to LEAVE the country.
