  • I'm going to Ukraine and Chernobyl soon...
    My gf is nuts about nuclear power (like really likes the physics behind it) and i'm crazy about fauna and flora's power over man.
    hire a car, and beg the govt to allow us in.

    looking forward to it immensely.

    One of my best mates went to Chernobyl in 2002/3 to work on this Documentary:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396959/

    They were the first western film crew allowed into the actual site - he has some pretty gnarly stories about it, and the shit he saw making the film has pretty much fucked him up for life.

    They ran in to serious problems with the local authorities when out there, despite having government permission to go in, and several of the crew got radioactive poisoning.

    If you can find it, watch the documentary, its incredibly hard going and very disturbing, but lifechanging shit.
