Wednesday morning we went to Atlantic Station for some sightseeing. We had lunch at the Tin Drum asiacafe, which was really good. The Thai Fried Rice I had was great, and everyone else liked what they got. After lunch we went to "Dialog in the Dark". I would certainly recommend it.
For an hour you are a blind person. At the beginning your are given a cane fit for your height. Then you are given the rules and ushered into a dark room with big square plastic seats that reminded me of ice cubes. As you listen to a recorded thingy about how your senses are about to be "enlivened" and such, the lights that illuminate your seats slowly dim. When the recording stops, the room is pitch black. Nope, you can't see a thing, not even outlines of things. Even so, through the whole tour I never closed my eyes. :) There were seven small red LEDs over the exits, but that was the only thing you could see. Your guide is either blind, or visually impaired.
The first room you enter is a park. There are things like real grass under your feet, rocks, trees, benches, and even a bridge. Room number two is a grocery store, Room number three is a wharf, Room number four is a city street, and the last one is a bar. They only served coke products though. :) Can you imagine going through all of these things completely blind?
