I Wish I had 695 dollars to spare

This is a week long experience to live like a deaf person, in every aspect possible.

You have to be woken up from sleep like a deaf person is [this is no different for me]
You cannot call anyone, you have to go through an interpreter or use a TTY
You cannot use your voice and only way of communication is sign language, writing ,and gestures
You watch TV without sound and with captions, etc.
And you interact with other people doing the same thing, not to mention with the exception of one teacher, the rest of the teachers are deaf

Basically it is an experience of a life time to really grasp sign language and what it's like to be deaf for anyone, I mean anyone
