Most interesting place that you've been to? (1 Viewer)

[SeulPika]

I bet most of you would've thought that my answer would be Japan... But you're wrong. Of course Japan is my favourite place in the world. But how many people have you known that have made a trip to Japan?
Now. How many do you know that have made a trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?

After spending a large portion of my life wanting to visit and after many set backs (The fighting in Ukraine and that aeroplane being shot down) made it even more difficult to convince someone to come with me to the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history. But finally in 2016 I found a friend who was just as nuts as me. So we booked the tour and our flights and we then found ourselves at one of the most important locations in human history, and a time travel back to the Soviet Union era....

Reactor 4 in the distance.

Reactor 4 up close.

Crossroads with roads leading to Pripyat as well as 'The Red' Forest'. One of the most radioactive places in the world.

Clean up on Aisle 3.....

The Pripyat Ferris Wheel. Possibly the most iconic location within the Exclusion Zone

Anyone up for a game of basketball?

No? How about some swimming instead?

oooh so cool! I really want to visit there one day actually!

I don't have anything that interesting. The most interesting I'd say is the old town in Dubrovnik. It's quite a popular tourist spot but it was definitely still interesting and cool being there. Dubrovnik is a really old town and is a UNESCO World Heritage site for a reason

This is going to be really weird, but the most interesting place I've been to was a 2 story Mcdonald's in Chicago. lol
These aren't my photos because I've only been here once and I went there when I was about 9 or 10 maybe? So, I had to google image it. lol.
Ngl, this place was the shit.

I haven't been there in over a decade, but from what I can remember, it was amazing.

Is there like more service areas on second floor, or is there a dungeon where the workers live?

Did you visit Game of Thrones places?

 

[raymondchouku]

No idea lol

It would explain why everytime I go to McD the workers take forever to make my McCafe... They are being overworked and housed in a dungeon..

There were Game of Thrones tours there but I didn't take any, so no sadly

I don't have many places that are super interesting, so I'll just share two I know:

Back when I was in elementary and middle school, my family took a few vacations to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It's part of the Appalachian mountains so it's pretty heavily forested. It's really beautiful there, and I would love to go back at some point. We stayed in a nice cabin ever time and did hiking and other tourist things every time we went.

Spoiler

I had to search for images on Google

And an example of a cabin in Pigeon Forge (the place we stayed every time)

And then a place that I've visited much more often since it's much closer to home: The Indiana Dunes National Park. It's a forested area of sand dunes on the shore of Lake Michigan. It's a popular place for high school sports teams to bring their athletes to give them one hell of a workout. I know when I ran cross country, we went here every year and did a 6-8 mile run through the hiking trails and on the sand dunes. It sucked lol. It's cool too, because on a clear day, you can see Chicago across the lake when you are on the beach.
