O.Noir

Yesterday, I had the most amazing and unique experience night ever. I felt so blessed for having eye sight to see the world. Although only two short hours, I can clearly understand what blind people are going through everyday. How they live in a world that is pitch black, not even a single drop of light exist. They can only feel the surroundings with their sense of touch, smell, hearing, and taste.

In the O.Noir restaurant, we have to order our food before we walk into the dining space. Inside it is complete darkness. We have to put our left hand to the left shoulder of the person in front of us, follow the waitress (actual blind people) in order to get to our table. It took us 5 minutes to know who is sitting beside who, since we can only hear each others' voice only. This means we have no idea what the room looks like nor the food. All cell phone, camera, flash light and luminous watches are prohibited.

We "became" blind for 2 hours and our remaining senses are heightened. We can only use our imagination to picture the space we are in. Thank you O.Noir for given such wonderful experiences and raise the awareness about blind disability.

I will definitely come back again in the future.
