Not really, I'd be too afraid of radiation poisoning, and all the rad x in the world wouldn't save me...cause there isn't any in the world. Also, just not somewhere I really want to visit. If I ever get enough money to travel, I want to visit Europe or Japan.

It's already firmly on the list of places I intend to visit, has been ever since I saw pictures from someone who visited a few years ago.

I have to admit, I am a bit obsessed with the idea of abandoned cities. When I heard radiation levels are not that critical, I already talking to my friend seeing if we can arrange a road trip there. (It's only a 20h drive.)

oh yeah, of course. I think it would be really interesting to walk around different places and see the "sights" of Chernobyl.

I'm quite interested but, to be honest, I'm agreeing with you.

There are plenty of other places I want to visit before I perpetually hit the sack. Like Rome... I want to go to Rome with my girlfriend.

Ohhhh how awesome! I'm jealous - Rome is on my hitlist. Along with about 20 other countries, but its definitely on there!

Just need to find someone to do this with, its more financially beneficial to go as a couple or as a group of friends than to do things on your own, and I'm not really the backpacking kind.

Seems like a romantic place, to me. I just want to go there and take in the scenery with my love. :3

[HEADING=3]Hell yeah![/HEADING]

Anyway, it would be both fun to mess around there with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. type things and also the CoD4 mission :p
Too bad that pesky radiation seems to be everywhere X3

According to some site I read that Pripyat is one of the most strange and eerie places in the world, and I've wanted to see the pool since Call of Duty 4 MP map "Block"


ps. Oh yeah and I wanna run around in the woods at night with a flash light, re-enacting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

You people obviously never had to fight off 7 chimaeras simultaneously on the highest difficulty in Call of Pripyat. Fuck no.

I say maybe, because although I probably wouldn't make a special trip, if I were in the area, it might tempt me. It's not too dissimilar to Holocaust memorials and the like- an important warning from our own, albeit, recent history as to what we should try and avoid in the future. It's something worthy of respect and reflection.

Like the town of Prypiat, or the actual Chernobyl reactor? Because... isn't the power plant still massivly dangerous. I remember watching a thing on TV only about 2 years ago about construction workers that work around the power plant are only allowed inside for a total of 30 mins a week or something, with radiation suits. And that there is still a great possibility of another incident happening there.

If you mean Pripyat, you bet your sweet hat I would. It's probably a long way away for most of you, but for me it's more like in my backyard (and when the radiation cloud reached my country, our fearless communist leaders were keeping us in the dark). I've wondered about going there for years. But to put some perspective, for me that's not just some spooky ghost town. It looks like it could be the city I live in. Thanks to history there's a lot of buildings here that are about the same as those in the pictures. And not only that. From the fun park to the residential blocks to the kids books, to the darn railings - the resemblance greatly adds to the eerieness. It's like I'm walking in a small, post-nuclear-bad-stuff version of my home city. So yes, of course I would go. I only fear it would now cost a fortune and with a larger tourist flow, it would lose some of it's desolate feeling.

If I had the money, YES. Mostly because it is historically fascinating, and playing STALKER IRL wouldn't be bad... they just need to start production on those clothes...
