I just want to have the same personal experience that others have here," he said on his Twitter account.However, following days of harassment by paparazzi, Bieber retreated out of the public's sight and only managed to visit Jerusalem under the cover of darkness following his much-anticipated concert.Photos by: Marc Israel Sellem / The Jerusalem Post
