Chernobyl...18 Years Later

abysmilliard writes "A young Ukrainian woman has posted a photo journal of her motorcycle rides through Chernobyl and the area surrounding it. Included are pictures of the now-emptied city, maps of current radiation levels, and a discussion of how the area has changed. While the english is quite broken, it's often rather surreal, as well, with quotes like, 'I don't know how sound the silence to those tourists that they can not stand it, but to me after hitting a red line on my bike tacho it sound like all those ghosts cursing 1100cc kawasaki engin.'"

    "The word CHERNOBYL scares holly bijesus out of people here."
    Holly Bijesus? Is it just me, or would that make a *great* bisexual porn star name?

    Yeah, no doubt, man. A hot chick on a motorcycle cruising through radioactive ruins pursued by marauders has 80's postapocolyptic action flick written all over it.

    By the way, I disclaim any responsibility for marauder activity in that area. As the name suggests, there is only one of me, and I am not there. Thank you.

    > Also, I'm on the page now where you can see a city, but it's so QUIET that people wat to get out ASAP after being there a few minutes. I totally want to go see this!

    Can you say, "giant paintball game"?


    For the love of all that is good and holy, man! There are some subjects never meant to be broached. Like paintball in an abandoned radioactive town.

    The potential for evil is purely delicious. Horrible! I meant to say horrible!

    You have to get the ladder from the janitor's closet. Break the lock with the crowbar you found in the parking garage (assuming you came in that way and made it past the zombie guarding the ticket booth.)
