Where did you hear that?

I do have to admit I grew weary of all of the stares directed my way, so I didn't wander around as much on my own as I have in other places I've visited. I just wasn't terribly comfortable; not speaking from a safety perspective, because I felt perfectly safe, but you know, I'm quite an introvert and don't like feeling like I have a spotlight on me as I'm walking down a street. But there are quite a number of places in the world where blonde female travellers will get unwanted attention.
