When we were told by the authorities after the robin round fixtures that one of the Knock out stage round will take place in Capetown, we were first bit puzzled and then our mood changed to the thrilling excitement with more impact in another city of this beautiful nation known as South Africa and more learning curve to it as also expressed being a similar view by our coach and the other supporting staff in consent to culture and quiz both together that would not only lift the mood but we would get the chance to explore more with Capetown being known to have glories of culture and environment in it's virtual respects.
In this sense once we arrived in Capetown, we wer further on told that it would be a braille answer typing round and it would add on the writing of answers on the braille slates for the better fun and joy of it which would not only be encouraging the Braille culture but also be having a right eye on the quality of test to realise the skill of us as a visually impaired with high percentage response to fit upon in braile and also the pure quality that in what speed the answers can bee written on braille slates and the questionire sheet would be given to all the teams participating facing each other from the table of toppest and lowest (India and Venezuela) with impact the others and the other following to set up the key momentum for the quizzing that would settle around in this beautiful city of beach and environment on 3rd of February 2018 indeed.
All the same I took on the lead after discussions with coach to have a glance for the conditions to favour us as the cultural impact of local surroundings does play a great impact and we here upon the task to look out being the prime contenders is also becoming popular so I followed with the team to a garden walk in the early morning and discussed on the pattern with taking the responsibility of writing the answers in braille and they should play the role of the argumentative field so they would more be able to answer things quickly with the coach and the sighted support reading questionire and I was up for the job to write the answers in braille which was a great asset to have the impression around.
But we were not so sured that in what way or in what pattern we would follow on the trail but it all went well and the way We handled the situation faster with the end of the next fourty five minutes we were done with it and we are in the final knoc out round system now in the first Brics culture quiz so on it's good note we decided to have a trip in the iziko national galary and had some assistance of local crowd to enjoy Cheese bread and veg cutlates with coffee which was a great experience all along.
As it is known for it's popular art galary and there is more for those who have vision rather than who have the challenge of vision impairment, still we managed it a great deal by support of our guide who have such experience and he was up for the task and expressed the painting of British, French and local customs in front of us as we moved slowly across the heavy rows and people continued to come in with bigger numbers as the Museum or this art galary place is open from early 10 A M to evening 7 Pm and does show great response to everyonen who comes hav a professional visit in the place which is a great boon of cultural standards in Capetown indeed.
The way they handled us, welcomed the quiz team and wished the best for the final round that will happen on fift of Feb in durbna was a great feeleing and I said to my team that we have at least won some hearts for ourselvss rather than having time pass all around and they did agree that it has been a great tour in South Africa till now so we finally bid goodbyes to the officials of the Museum, shook hands with other locals and we are now off for Durban where we shall face the other three teams South Africa, Brazil and Russia in the final which would be the stage round and answers by voice on stage mike would be more effective, thank you all for your support and let's hope we shall do there greatly as well....
