      Well…it was for more like a hour than a day, and probably not in the context you are thinking of. 😅

          During high school our class went to this guided experience that was called "Dialogue in the Darkness".
          It was basically a tour in this building with all light blocked out, total darkness, so no one could see anything and each room we went through a scene in the normal life of a blind person.
          I particularly remember when they made us order something at a bar and then pay with cash. The struggle to figure out what coins I had without seeing them is something that I never tinked about before that moment. It made me understand that there are many aspect of our lives that we take for granted just because we don't have a disability. Sometimes I still think about it

            This is yet another thing where the US absolutely fails to catch up to modern times. In Canada, our bills have a form of braille on them for easy identification. Having them all be a different color also makes it easy to tell the denomination at a glance. Other countries also have similar accessibility features.
