Copenhagen

Visited this gorgeous city in a small country, Easter weekend. It was apparently the best weather they’ve had in a while. Sunny for all four days spent there. The only downside was how expensive the city was. 10€ for a beer! Yikes!

Chernobyl

Posted on April 19, 2011 | 2 comments

April 26th marks the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. With the ever growing concern of the reactors in Fukushima, Japan, attention has risen on the eve of the Chernobyl anniversary.
Last week I visited the power plant and the surrounding area known as the exclusion zone, a 30km circle around the Chernobyl plant. I met with “re-settlers” who moved back a few months after they were evacuated in 1986. Mostly consisting of the elderly, these re-settlers returned because they had no where else to go. They have lived in the area all their lives.
