I always get fascinated how humanity just leaves abandoned beautiful castles and buildings. You always wonder why people don't recycle the buildings into a bed and breakfast, hotel, shopping center, or apartment building. I watch these video's for ideas for my novel, and always just captivates me and blows me away how there's so many places which can be renovated, but just left to rot away and decay. I would love being an Urban Explorer just for fun. Just feel sad seeing so many places left behind.
