Dead Cities...or Cities-Phantoms

Yashima is mentioned in connection with battle of 1185 during Genpei war. At the top of Yashima mountain there is the temple where crowds of people always aspire to is constructed. During economic growth in the mid-eighties it has been decided to re-arrange Takamatsu into a tourist zone. With that aim they had to erect six hotels, parks, roads, oceanariums... But so happens, that all of this has not impressed tourists at all: expected popularity has never appeared. The invested money has never been paid off. And everything should have been closed: hotels and the rope-way, and everything else.

Dead Cities...or Cities-Phantoms

This is a tragic subject. This is something we prefer not to think about: disappearance of life. Probably, I'm saying it too dramatically, but really am I?. When I found articles about this subject I was pretty shocked. And, you know, maybe this is a normal reaction on the photoes of the places where life used to glimmer as everywhere else, but for some reason it dessappeared somehow. Well, I might probably start with the well-known town of Pripyat', Ukraine (the story of Chernobyl 1986):

Though it has been a pretty long time the town is still a dead zone. Though as I've heard it is possible to visit it - some kind of excursions to that place are quite popular nowadays... I must admit that probably I would like to visit it too (though can't really explain why would I!!..).
