Fukushima, Japan is offering people an all expense paid trip to the city

The city of Fukushima is offering 200 people the chance of a lifetime; an all-expense-paid trip to Japan.

Back in 2011, the once-flourishing city was devastated after a tsunami caused a nuclear meltdown. Now it is trying to ramp up tourism by paying people to visit the recovering area.

This is finally a chance for those who don't believe the Fukushima disaster is anything to worry about to get something of value out of their belief. I wonder if they're willing to put their bodies where their mouths are. I guess that's the ultimate test of whether they really mean what they're saying.

This sure is a chance to change your life. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the dark humor.)

The article linked above should be a wake-up call for those in denial about the Fukushima disaster. Is there still anyone around here in that category?

I've always wanted to visit Japan, not sure about being a father to a three headed baby though

Sign me up!
No really.... I'll go..

It is no longer taking applications

Is it a one way trip to indirectly repopulate the ghost city and keep those green eyed radioactive boars fed with fresh meat ?

Call me crazy but I would go. Seeing Japan would be the trip of a lifetime, not something I could ever afford, I am too poor to see the world...

i would go : there is a law that says :

do not breed from this munkie

so i am good

UNFORTUNATLY - if you actually google it - the offere only applies to residents // citizens of :

Naaw will pass on that, I love my city where I live, Fukuoka, my Nori aka seaweed intake as increased dramatically to ward off thyroid cancer as a possible side effect of radiation , that's what people who sold seaweed for a living told me..

I spose in the fine print its a one way journey and they wont be allowed back.

Perhaps, more sinsterly, by offering people free trips to the city, its a way of training people up to the idea of living elsewhere in Japan other than near Fukushima.

I wonder why that might be?

I already had my kid. Everyone gets one right?

Sign me up. Give me all the kawaii things.

I would go as long as I end up being a teenage mutant ninja squirrel.

Cool, will send this over to some weeaboos who would jump at the chance despite the risks. I'm sure they would want to be super weebs.
