I've just talked with Gilas and Dohn, two deaf friends travel around world nine months. I could have conversation with them because they can comprehend by my lip and mouth shape and they said they can speak better than usual deaf people. So it was first time I meet deaf traveler and "talk" with deaf people. Ofcourse they are special people. Not many deaf people travel around world and I was curious about who has disability. I mean their life, I wanted to know their reality, their world, their life. It's because they are my fellow human being and more importantly we have some significant common in personal way. Couragous, extraordinaruty, and positivity. Maybe the fact that I felt empathy about them becuase they are disable and I consider myself disable-emotionaly. The fact that I didn't get proper nurture from my parents so I have emotional disability. I don't know it is fair or proper comparison. I don't know they will accept or understand the way I think. Anyhow I would talk more with them if they were women. It would be fascinating. It's funny I was interested in vegeterian first, then traveler, now disable woman? But I think usually disable people doesn't bull shit around or superficial. They are usually be truthful and humble.
