@nickyforiasha Yes ?

To those visiting this site, doesn't the thought of ingesting radioactive material worry you? You may be told it's safe but how can it be? People will sometimes 'bend' the truth when money is involved.

[bakura10]

@joyscreamofseagulls Sure. If you go there, you must not think about that, otherwise you're going crazy ;). For those who are scared (which I understand) they just don't go. Two doctors in France told me it is safe considering how much time we said. But yeah, of course this is less safe than going to Spain =).

I've seen a LOT of these videos and this one really gives a great feeling of what it's like to be there.

I'm saving up so that I can get a 2 man tour with my friend. Hopefully before the 25th anniversary.

how big is the city?

[starquant]

Lol who needs a War, just invite all the stupid tourists and let the Radiation finish them off ... LOL.

@ThePaintLooksGood Haha of course it feels normal. You can't see or smell radiations. When it exploded, radiation level was so high that people felt sick (nausea), but nowadays the air is normal (well, radioactivity is higher that in Kiev but you feel normal).

@Schwabo83 long time no live, thats why

[nickyforiasha]

@paintballgundown8 and in soc, cs, and cop

[darthnefas]

@bakura10 Belarus and Kiev have hot spots and Germans need wild boar tested for radioactivity so how can any sane person think being this close could be even remotely safe!

Puisque tout va mieux, il suffit de faire repartir les réacteurs et retourner habiter là bas. Quel est le prix du m² ?
