The displays were awesome and intriguing ... and I never need to put myself through it again.



Oh, I might add ... it left me counting the minutes until I contracted some fatal disease or condition ... since the point of BW 1 was to demonstrate the afflications of the body - - so many examples of damaged tissue and diseased organs that the conclusion you'd soon be hit with at least one of those hundred ailments was all but inescapable.


Repeat visit? No thanks.

That's right - I remember you writing about that!

I think to some degree I did that too. Arms outstretched and thinking of the veins, muscle, fat and bones just beneath my skin. Hmmm, but that's the kind of thing that makes me want to go back.

exactly why I want to go. I think it could be an unparalelled self awareness experience.
