2. Initial impressions – High Street
Quiet - no pedestrians apart from us
Normal village street – familiar even though it was
new to us
Felt safe and comfortable
3. Park / Red light district !
Single woman reading in children’s park –
unusual use of space?
Noticeable lack of children?
Didn’t know what to expect even though we knew
it was a park…
4. Field – Holland experience
museum
At the back of a social
club next to the car park
Quiet like everywhere
else – but it wasn’t
strange
Conversely it would have
been strange if there had
of been people there
5. Houses – Muziektheater
Residential, seemingly affluent,
suburban area.
Felt more out of place here – felt
like we were intruding on privacy
– but weren’t
Walking in road – out of place –
felt overtly safe.
6. Overall feelings – at the pub
Questioning what we’ve
seen and summing up…
Overall always felt safe but
not always comfortable –
challenging normal
feelings.
We thought we might feel
more in place with other
people? How we would’ve
felt with family/friends/a
partner?
We were often looking for
something out of the
ordinary or strange but
everything was very
normal… it felt weird that it
wasn’t weird !
