#braille class

Sat Nov 03, 2018 - Day 26

9:00am: Breakfast

Pecan pie & milk 10:30am: Braille Study Group @ Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library

I went to Braille class, I had thought it would be boring, but I was so exited to learn the Braille alphabet! It was amazing, after learned the alphabet the tutor gave me some word quizzes with a Peg Slate, it was ‘babe’, ‘brick’, and ‘morning’. And she asked me if I could make a word, so I made her ‘thanks’. It was so interesting experience. When I left the class, she asked me when I could come again, I said I am leaving next Thursday and she was so glad I came here to learn Braille on weekend. She gave me a wonderful text paper written in Braille and with the Library logo lion as a gift. It’s so touched.

Here is the alphabet

And it’s the gift

12:40pm: Lunch @ SG

Having a lunch Shroomami~

1:10pm: Coffee @ Gotham coffee roasters

And new coffee place! I asked a late with less milk, the barista recommended cappuccino instead, so I took it. (It’s a flat white what I was looking for! Love it!) And one thing I like here NYC, there are some good coffee places where provide coffee not too hot, with good temperature to drink.

2:10pm: FHAA 1st Annual Diwali – Festival of Lights celebration @ Queens Library

What I’ve learned here most of events do not start on time. So, I thought I could go to the Queens library till 2:10. Surprisingly, it’s delayed 30min, and the main event started at 3:15 (not 2:00);;; And the music concert was a bit disappointed; the musician sang a famous pop song in Indian style remix.

6:00pm: Joe & The Juice

Pick Me Up~

7:30pm: Other Side of Wall Street (1609-1664) with Black Gotham

It’s started with distributing name cards to tourists. Each one has one name, and during the street tour the guide explained a story related to each person. The tour itself was not so interesting, but the tour guide was like an actress on stage. She has a good voice and gesture while she explained the stories although we were just standing or walking a street but it’s not boring. And interested in Black Gotham studio, they have also issued magazines and open their studio to the public once a week. But I think they need to reduce the fee for this normal street tour.
