Due to some logistical reasons I found myself in the area around Central Bus Station. Although Tel Aviv is considered a very safe city, I heard from almost everyone that it's not advisable for a young woman to walk in this area alone. Due to this image and darknes it felt really scary at first. Big and small groups of immigrants were chatting very loud. Two junkies leaned against kiosks, closed for Shabbat. However, when my eyes switched to the night vision mode and I adjusted to the atmosphere, I realised how ashamed I, as an anthropologist and so on, should be for giving into these typical stereotypes.
