Blind Man Roams the Globe: Marrakesh

Exploring the sound of Marrakesh through the ears of blind 成人快手 presenter Peter White.

When Peter jets, sails or walks into a new city, it is the sounds, not the sights, which assail him. In this programme Peter explores the twists and turns of Marrakesh. His job as a broadcaster has already taken him to many places and he has developed an arsenal of strategies to get to know a place. He listens to local radio; he takes in the sounds of restaurants, travel systems and the voices of the locals. He also meets other blind people and uses their experiences of an area to understand it better and to appreciate the aural clues which help guide them.
