After our reflection, Dione and I decided to re-do our micro-action in the city centre, to see if the reactions we would get would be different, since they would not be influenced by the specific campus relations. I stood in front the Albert Heijn at Neude, which is quite a busy spot. On our way to the micro-action location, we noticed a lot of men not on the sidewalk were not moving to make more space, which is the reason why we wanted to do the micro-action in the first place. In front of the Albert Heijn, I got interesting, and a lot of irritated and confused looks. In general, people seemed less curious and more annoyed, which might be attributed to the scenery and the fact that the people in the city don't know us personally, like many people at UCU do.
