By the end i really felt conflicted tho, it was like i felt guilty, for me it was an experience of a lifetime, but for the 20,000 people who lost their homes it wasnt fun, and an estimated 300,000 people in total have been killed of affected by the radiation. I wont forget it for a long time tho. Id advise anyone whos thinking about it to just do it tho. Getting there was such a ******* nightmare, but in the end, it was more than worth the hassle.

Emily, we stayed for about 3 - 4 hours. Apparrently its fine for a day to stay there, but hang around too long and you wont be leaving! The scariest part is when you leave, you have to go through decontamination. Its like a turnstile at a football ground, you stand on it, put your hands on the side, and if youre clean, you get a green light and the little gate opens. If youre not clean....it doesnt open
Mini E if youd like to translate any of this feel free, im curious to know myself

Or with friends? And how many other people were on the tour with you? Also what's with the (freaky) graffiti, who's responsible for that? Gutted you didn't get a photo of the freaky clown train though. Did you see it?

Sorry for overloading you with questions.

freaky clown train?? never heard of it!
Yeah i went alone. [arnie voice]I VERK ALOONE[/arnie]. I realised that noone was ever gonna go with me, so i said strawberry float it, im going on my own! It was either go on my own, or wait forever for someone to do it with me.
