  • I imagine experience. I bet if something like that were released, then people with visual impairments would be one of the first peoples in line to learn the difference so they would be able to quickly tell by texture exactly what denomination they’re holding.

    And also, a lot of the world is on digital, so I’m sure most visually-impaired people would just swipe a card.








  • Normally at Vietnamese restaurants I’d always get a bahn mi, hard to go wrong with a delicious tasty sandwich, but I decided to try the pho.

    Pho is a soup made with raw meat in hot broth. It looked mildly unappetizing when I first got it, but it was one of the best meals I’d ever had in my life.

    Maybe it’s more commonplace now, but where I lived, there was only one Vietnamese restaurant in like a 20 mile radius, so it was completely new to me.

    Also, Egyptian food, I found a place called kebab in Portland when I was driving through on vacation one year, and I stopped there because they said they serve Egyptian food and I’ve never had Egyptian food. The food I picked was called chicken kusharia.

    It was grilled chicken with a tamarind sauce on top of a bed of rice and a slightly crunchy chickpeas. The dish had the aroma of patchouli, which is not something I associate with food.

    It was an experience. From the very first bite, it was like I was very present in the moment. Each and every single bite had a new flavor, a new twist to it. There was like lemon juice and lime juice and side salad and one of the best hummus sides I’ve ever had in my life.

    If I just stuck with plain, ordinary fast food because I was on vacation, I never would have gotten to experience that.


  • I fuck with this hard. I always pick weird foods when I go to a new restaurant, stuff that I don’t know what I’m getting, and if it’s bad I eat it, if it’s good I eat it.

    I live with the consequences, and as a consequence of that, I have found some amazing meals and foods that I never would have eaten if I hadn’t experimented.
