Experience

For the experience we walked in many parts of the city , including food markets , squares , parks , cafés . Every place has a different aura , different people that pass by for different purposes . We decided to make the first experience in Szabadság tér . After that , we went around Szent István Bazilika , Erzsébet tér , Vörösmarty utca , Hunyadi tér , Király utca and Hunyadi téri vásárcsarnok .
We realized that all of the different members of the group had different reactions to the experience and also , that each person would focus on some sense more than others .
I couldn ’ t imagine how uncomfortable it could be blindfolded . I played it once but with someone guided me by the hand . But this time I was completely left alone to my other senses — and my classmates vocal guidance . I knew they didn ’ t let me in any trouble but i felt vulnerable . Noises became threatening , and I kept thinking about how ridicoulus I could be for the uninvolved passerby . It was a relief to feel I ’ m already in the park being away from the traffic at least . Losing my sight caused a slight inbalance to my walk . Percieving the bushes are all around me generated a slight closeness feel . During the whole experiment I felt a really strong desire to take off the shawl from my eyes but I knew I shouldn ’ t . There was one thing my eyes could perceive though , the warm familiar sense of the sunlight .
