I was in a restaurant at one stage that was run by people who were blind. It was completely black and dark and we could not see anything as our food was served to us. It was a surreal experience for us. As we mentioned public transport, there is another place in France that is an enclosed environment where sighted people can go in and are led around by people who are blind and they simulate trams, trains, and buses as being close by, dogs barking, and all this kind of stuff. It is a whole different world so I get that. I thank the witnesses.
