I thought I'd steer us away from word association and shopping trips and get back to posts containing pictures of stuff. Yes, I'm posting some pictures. Of a derp. *gasps*

I had a little trip to the Ukraine earlier this month with 27 other people, visiting Chernobyl for the 2nd time. It was a super boss trip with some super boss people. And some bulbs.

If you are unaware of what happened in 1986 then take 90 minutes to watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtaKjLu0U20

Geo pretended to be scared that I'd mistake him for my mrs. Pretended.

I'll drive you to Selby, run around writing things on walls in Cyrillic, sprinkle a few gas masks around, paint a couple of murals in the semi burned out cabins and then walk around pretending to be a guide.

lovely shots..Seriously after seeing your images I feel like I walked around Pripyat with my eyes shut, I missed so much, anyhow after listening to 50 minutes of Geo asking "are we nearly there yet" I did manage to catch some footage of the emergency coach stop for poor Tablets to chuck his breakfast :0)
