Transcript:

Arrive town and getting off bus

sudden lots of hearing people surround me

walking through crowded people

I see people chatting each other

I see people laughing on the phone

I see people listening music

In big shop with lots of aisle and I’m looking for batteries

I ask staff who working on shelf, but she doesn’t understand my sign ‘I’m sorry I don’t understand you I can’t sign’

I keep looking around but can’t find batteries so I text on my phone showed to a different staff with mask on I wouldn’t understand staff because staff was speaking me with mask on and she won’t remove mask when I moved back in 2 metres and asked her to remove mask when she speaks to me but staff refused to remove mask

On queue in tills and someone tried to conversation to me I told someone that is I’m deaf and they said oh never mind…I even tried to keep that conversation going but they’re put off

that is everyday of my life……

on bus, my day got brighten up when someone waved at me and sign to me cos it’s rare to meet someone who same language as me and others out there.
