Be aware that this does not represent the life of a blind person at all. If an American goes to Beijing, they might have a very hard time communicating with other people, but that doesn't mean everyone in Beijing has a hard time communicating with other people, most Americans just don't know the language. It's a similar situation here, if you're used to using sight for everything, you haven't learned how to use the white cane well, never actually learned where your stuff is, don't know how to use VoiceOver etc, obviously you're going to have a hard time. That still doesn't say anything about the experience of actual blind people. To actually get some idea how it's like, I suspect you'd need a couple years and some good teachers.
