Experience on being blind..

The exercise was a disaster... My knuckles were all swollen..

The exercise is to experience on being a blind person. I had a hard time even walking steadily. For most of the trip, I was using my hands to feel the wall following the track. But when I do not feel anything, I would punch or kick anything in front of me to make sure I’m approaching a wall or anything else. =p

It was still alright when I was in class, but when the moment I stepped out of the classroom, I panic. I’m afraid that I may bang into the wall or anything else. And so I tried to reach my hands out to feel if there is anything in front of me. Not being able to see and no aid cause me to be nervous, I tried to punch or kick anything around me. At least it’s my hands or legs that will get hurt rather than my head. =p

The process of buying the water was most difficult. Firstly, I could not see the money in my wallet. Secondly, I could not see the coin slot and the buttons to buy the drink. I had to pour out all the coins into my hands and sort the coins by my own sense of touch. I had to touch the whole machine before knowing where the coin slot is. As for the buttons, they feel the same, so it is impossible to know which drink I’m buying. =(

I nearly destroyed a monitor on the trip back to class, but luckily my friends stopped me fast enough. =D

This is how my day ends~ =)
