    Everyone should! Let’s all book trips to the place with no humans and look at it, so we can take pictures and tell more people about it. It’s so calming and relaxing, we should go there more often. Maybe someone could sell some merch…

      Honestly that is exacting how it went down, we all got handheld Geiger meters. On the entrance checkpoint there was a bunch of stalker (the game) merch.

      The Chernobyl tours are an actual thing. You don’t get to wonder by yourself though, for obvious reasons. But you do get to see nature reclaiming the city.
