The Sobriety Test You Didn’t Expect

If you ever find yourself at Rossio Square, beware of the wavy tiles! They’re famous for creating that optical illusion where the ground looks like it has random speed bumps popping up — but don’t worry, it’s actually flat (I double-checked before blaming my eyesight).

Walking across it is already confusing enough when you’re sober… so I definitely wouldn’t recommend trying it after a drink too many. You’ll start wondering whether it’s the pavement moving or you. 😂

  1. Yes, I can see how that could be a problem. I've fallen a few times. I'd be afraid I'd lose me balance.

  2. Even sober, that looks a little dizzying! ☺

  3. I can just imagine a Friday night with a few people who have had one drink too many getting trapped in there, while everyone else is trying to work out how to get around the obstacle! 🤣

  5. Oh my goodness, how awesome but of course it's true how one could fall over, best not look down and pick the feet up when walking there, that is my advice for me😉

  6. This doesn't seem like a place I would like to walk.
    I think many older people have trouble with this, it would make you dizzy.
    I wish you a very nice weekend.
    All the best, Irma
