Malaysia's first Braille-enabled vending machines by ATLAS Vending in collaboration with the Malaysian Association for the Blind

There are a lot of things in life we often take for granted - the clothes on our backs, the change in our purse and even our senses. Without our senses, even the simplest tasks in our daily life becomes something that requires extra thought and consideration. 

Say for example, buying a drink from the vending machine. Aiming to enable accessibility for visually-impaired customers, ATLAS Vending, the biggest F&B Vending Operator across Malaysia and Singapore, has collaborated with the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) to roll out its pilot programme for vending machines specially equipped with additional assistive features. 

[Review + Promo code!] Sudio T2 - 7.5 hours playtime, ANC + Transparency Mode

I have found that the best defense against random strangers walking up to you in public either to sell you stuff or to recruit you...is a good set of earphones. Bonus points especially if those earphones come equipped with noise cancellation because then, you have the legit excuse of not hearing them or your mother asking you to clean up the house. 

But of course, for safety reasons, having noise cancellation as a permanent feature can be dangerous especially when you're out for a jog or cycling. This is why the new Sudio T2's option for you to turn it off and switch between active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode is god sent! 

But I am getting ahead of myself.

When in Jeju Island, eat as the locals do. There is no better representation of a local culture than through its food - an element molded by the ingredients of its surroundings and the lifestyle of its people over history and time.
