Anyone go on any adventures this weekend? Global or local.
I went to see a movie with a friend and the accessible seats we set up in such a way that there was railing and a step between us 🤨

My Support Worker and I are going to lunch at a venue called The Wharf (it’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK) https://www.wharfteddington.com/, I’m hoping that they’ll respect my request that I’m in a wheelchair 🤞

We went to see Hamilton on Thursday (in Montreal) and the Places des Arts really isn’t disability friendly. There wasn’t any signs for elevators, so I had to use my cane to get on escalators, and then had stairs to climb which hurt my back.
At least we had picked some good seats and the show was amazing.

What’s the Most Accessible Surprise You’ve Found While Travelling?
I love those moments when a place you didn’t expect to be accessible turns out to be a joy to navigate.
What’s yours?

Earlier on this year we travelled to Taiwan and we were surprised how wheelchair friendly this small country is. Dropped curbs, ramps, toilets for handicapped people everywhere free of charge and super clean, access to temples, museums, hotels, restaurants. Absolutely fabulous and not expected at all.

We were pleasantly surprised by how accessible Singapore is. All the buses had drivers who leapt out and put a ramp down, and the trains were all wheelchair accessible. We went to the top of the Marina Bay Hotel, and the view from the top was awesome. Hotels were very accommodating. I was certainly surprised at how accessible the whole island is

If, during your research, you ever feel like sharing some of your knowledge and findings in the form of a blog post or article, then I am sure Josh would love to share it here on tabifolk, and I know I most definitely would love to share a guest post from you on my website – theworldisaccessible.com 🙂
