Dialogue in the dark and Ra!

So I went to Dialogue in the dark recently, and it was intense. Basically, you're in a building and you go into this room with a cane and then they shut the lights off. It is pitch black, and you cannot see the hand in front of you. You are lead by a blind guide into this familiar, new world. Throughout the journey, you will take a walk in the park, go grocery shopping, cross the street, and ride a boat. It is hard because you will eventually want to see again, but you can't until you finish the event. It made me really think that wow, we can see again in about 5-10 minutes, but these people will never ever get to see again. And we were helped lead by my friend's little sister who is only 7. So, that was interesting.
After that, we went around looking for a sushi restaurant called Ra. The GPS took us around and around and we wasted so much gas doing nothing. We spent about 30-45 minutes looking for the place with the GPS until Truc My turned it off and turned it back on. AND THEN! it worked...That was frustrating.
But it was a wonderful day, so it was all good :)
