The Journey into the Dark
- You begin your journey into the dark in a group of around eight people. Everyone in the tour is given a white cane.
- Anything that emits light or sound is covered or silenced. A blind guide will accompany you every step of the way to make sure you feel safe and secure.
The journey begins…
- First, to an open park with plants, benches, and a fountain. The sound of birds and water completes this invisible landscape.
- Second, you will board a boat, you sail down the Singapore River until you reach the city.
- Moving into town, you will have to navigate a typical Singaporean housing estate. You will come in contact with the ATM machine, the door bell as well as the "market place"
- Not only that you will also face challenges like crossing the street through the noise of traffic.
- The tour comes to a close as visitors are led to a coffeeshop, still within the darkness. Here you may have a drink and chat with your guide before ending your journey.
I love the part where i get to challenge myself in buying the drink from the cafeteria. Before heading for the trip, you ought to bring just a few bucks( $2-4$).
