Finally! Elevator announcing the ground floor

 

After much requesting, reaching out, and protesting, the new elevator is finally making an announcement when it gets to the ground floor.

For whereas I know that there are priorities and that everyone is probably trying to make things work, for me as a vision-impaired person, it is really important for an elevator to make the proper and appropriate announcement for each floor.

Some people would say that they do not need this because they can see the visual indicators for each floor. For me, I cannot and I depend on audio announcements.

Sad but true! The missing Mercedes cushion

 

For better or for worse, there are still too many folks amongst us who just cannot help themselves when it comes to taking something that does not belong to them.

This was the case a few months ago when I realized that my precious cushion, an heirloom Mercedes car cushion, had been boldly stolen by one of the contractors who entered my condo to clean the fan coil.

What’s special about this cushion is that it could be transformed from an ordinary looking cushion to a Mercedes Benz car.

For whereas I’ll probably never be able to have this heirloom returned to me, I want the coward to know that I know what they did. They are probably too chicken to own up, let alone to confess.

To steal from someone who is vision-impaired is absolutely horrible!

A refreshing experience: Vancouver's airport

 

What a refreshing experience for me!

Many years ago I visited Vancouver and had the pleasure of being treated to some wonderful warmth and welcome from their staff. Now, so many years later, I was just blown away by the friendliness, warmth, and support that I received when I traveled through this airport in late April 2025.

People were so very kind, generous, and so willing to help me as a vision-impaired person. They simply got it and did not hesitate to show off their knowledge and skills.

I would recommend this airport to anyone who can find a way to travel through the Vancouver Airport.

Thank you Clare: The hot pot experience

 It was my first time at a hot pot restaurant and I did this in Vancouver in April 2025. Clare was simply brilliant.

She described everything to me; each food item on the buffet table and even helped me to negotiate and navigate the dishes. Then she served up my meal to me.

Simply delicious, yummy, and filled with wonderful dining. Thank you, Clare.

A great experience: Testing with the AIRA app

 

I am a great fan and supporter of AIRA and a few months ago when I was asked by Air Canada to test this app at the Toronto Airport I was more than happy to do so.

I have to admit that I did not fully explore its true capabilities at the time but I intend to do so on a future trip.

The agent that I connected with was simply brilliant.  She was patient, pleasant, and stayed all the way with me until I got to the departure lounge. Bravo to AIRA.

It's missing! Where is my Mercedes cushion

 

Up until recently, my prized Mercedes car cushion resided on one of my wing chairs in my living room. The chair was close to the unit housing my fan coils.

As I do not often check this chair I am not sure when my prized possession went missing and based on logic I am very sure that it was stolen by one of the contractors who regularly enter my condo to clean my fan coil.

Of course I cannot prove anything and I am very sure that I’ll never see this heirloom again. I can only express my disappointment at the one who stole it.

Why would anyone steal from someone who is vision-impaired? When will mankind learn that one should never steal something that belongs to someone else?

Wonderful! Birthday lunch with Gaby!

 

It is always so very refreshing and pleasant whenever we get together. Gaby is very entertaining and, in short, my eyes whenever we go out.

On this day she treated me to a wonderful birthday lunch.  We ate, chatted, laughed and reflected on so many other things.

The meal was yummy and delicious and Gaby even told the waiter that it was my birthday. So she brought a tasty slice of cake for us both along with a candle.
