The Dead Zone of the 4th reactor
I'm going to write a small guide book about the Zone of Chernobyl. I have never been in the zone yet, but I will visit it.
Firstly, the easiest way to enter to book a tour of a local travel agency. The tour costs about 130-160 USD. You will get a permission to enter the zone, transfer, (safe) lunch, english tour guide, etc...
You can stay in the zone max. 4-5 hours. If you follow your tour guide, you won't be in trouble or get dangerous amounts of radiation.

Some words about the sights and spectacles. There are 2 borders: outer and inner; here are the papers checked. Firstly, you see the unfinished cooling towers of the reactor 5-6. Then you behold the ChNPP4, the 4th reactor with the grey, huge Sarchophagus (a steel roof above the debris to keep inside the radioactive mass). You cannot approach the reactor, you can just stay 100 metres far from it. Then you can go to Pripyat.

-Pripyat. It was a very new town, built for the workers of the powerplant. It was found in 1970.
It has got so many sights. For example, the main square, the Hotel Polissia, cultural buildings, Azure swimming pool and the sports centre, police station, school, kindergarten, creche, library, Café Pripyat, theme park and the ferris wheel, and the 15-storey building (the highest in the town) There is a very nice lookout on it's roof.
The WHOLE town is abandoned, nobody lives in there nowadays, just the guards patrolling due to the graffiti painters and the looters, who steal radioactive stuff to sell it in the blackmarket.
Before 1986 the town had 47.500 citizens. In 2010 it has got 0.
-The other sight is the Chernobyl-2, it was a military radar station to detect the american rockets (cold war)
-There is a sight what have been closed down in 2008, due to the looters. Nobody should approach it. This is the weirdest junkyard next to the village Rossokha. A lot of cars, trucks, armored vehicles, helicopters of the liquidators are stored here. Because they are highly radioactive.
-Near the town of Chernobyl you can find a lake filled with ships of the liquidators, they are very radioactive too.
-Yanov train station. It was the local train station. Nowadays the trains, engines, and cars are parked here. It is very dangerous to enter them, they are too rusty and contaminated.
-The Red Forest was a huge pine forest, but it was glowing red after the explosion,and the authorities cut down. It is the most contaminated part of the outskirts nowadays too.

Please write down your comments and opinion.
Thanks, Peter

Made me LOL in the library and had everybody staring at me.
At least something to keep me smiling after the past week of endless health woes.

Hows everybody else doing?

Pissed off
I am quite pissed off. Why do I bother to be nice to people when all they do is treat you like rubbish ? The worst part is when the ones that treat you so are the one you take extra care to be extra nice to. Statements such as " This one opens mouth, sure bad things only come out " are becoming common. Maybe they claim that the words they say was only meant as a joke but I notice that no one else becomes the butt of these 'jokes' and its always me. They don't dare say these kind of things to others but only to me. Probably proof that the adage "Familiarity breeds contempt" is true. I should probably not be nice anymore and just be my usual self and give back sarcastically as I usually do .. I normally don't because these are my colleagues. Probably my fault for treating colleagues as 'friends'. That'll teach me.

Well, that's my working environment. How is yours ?

Lessons in Logic

If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it's your stupidity.
..........................................................................
I was born intelligent -
education ruined me.
..........................................................................

Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect......
so why practice?
..........................................................................

If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the others here for?
..........................................................................

Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.
..........................................................................

How come 'abbreviated' is such a long word?
..........................................................................

Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.
..........................................................................

One should love animals.
They are so tasty.
..........................................................................

Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
..........................................................................

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in
life.
..........................................................................

The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.
..........................................................................

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.
..........................................................................

Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.
..........................................................................

'Your future depends on your dreams'
So go to sleep
..........................................................................

There should be a better way to start a day
Than waking up every morning
..........................................................................

'Hard work never killed anybody'
But why take the risk
..........................................................................

'Work fascinates me'
I can look at it for hours
..........................................................................
God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.
..........................................................................

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.

..........................................................................

A bus station is where a bus stops..

A train station is where a train stops.

On my desk, I have a work station....
what more can I say........
