Dialogue in the dark- Hong Kong

9/13/2014

0 Comments

 
Our guide Cecilia (who also suffered from blindness) was wonderful.  Once the tour commenced, along with two others, we were thrown into complete darkness.  With the help of a white cane, and by following the soothing voice of Cecilia, we progressed through different scenarios that the blind goes through everyday.
​ It was scary r
elying only on our other senses.  But we pushed through by helping one another.  

We came out really appreciating the gift of sight and learning things about the blind that we had never known before. 
If you decide to make a visit, take the MTR and get off at Mei Foo station.  It is a 10 mins walk to the Household center, 2nd Floor.  Their official website gives excellent directions (step-by-step PDF printout) and you can even pre-book and pay in advance online using Paypal.  They offer 3 English tours per day so it's important to book ahead. 

As a side note, if you need to use the restrooms, you need to get the key from the receptionist.   

If you are looking for an unusual thing to do while visiting HK and have time to spare, you should give Dialogue in the Dark a try.  It is not a typical "touristy" attraction.  

There are also "Dinner-in-the-Dark", "Silent Yum Cha", and most recently "Birthday in the Dark", "Silence le Cabaret", "Concert-in-the-Dark" , and "Love-in-the-Dark" too.  We  were quite bummed that our visit didn't coincide otherwise we would have definitely booked either of the first two options.
