Quite the contrary. It doesn't belong to anyone, so feel free to go and explore by yourself.



Imagine I'm really interested in seeing an OR from the inside. Do you reckon I could just register on a surgeons' discussion board and offer them 20 quid to be allowed to watch while they perform open heart surgery? Could you conceive that I'd be receiving rather unimpressed answers to such query?

What you haven't thought through is that as a foreign element, you'd be perceived as an intruder, a nuisance, dead weight one has to carry around for no good reason. Other than you wanting to see the place.

See, I'd love to have a Porsche. I've asked millionnaires to gift me one, but they refused. Because they didn't see what was in it for them.

And that, young fellow, is about the situation you're in. You're telling us what you want so dearly, but you haven't bothered doing your homework and researching what levers to pull to get a fighting chance of getting a positive answer. With that much known about your attitude, why on earth would we want to drag along someone who is primarily self-centered and too lazy to care? Rite, the mullah. Coz you'd be willing to sweeten the deal. Sorry to disappoint:


In my line of work, a freelancer's going rate is around 700€ per day (i.e. 6 hours).

But as you say, we're not tour guides, indeed. Being under alone and being left alone are invaluable. And precisely because of that, any asking price will be more than what is customary in the industry. Consequently, it is unlikely that you'd have the kind of money that would make up for the burden of having a teenager tag along and have their mouths work non-stop to express overly eager comments, only second to a constant flow of questions we've heard a thousand times.

Thank you very much for your honest response. I understand I'm being perceived as an intruder or a nuisance. I don't mean to be I'm just new here like many of you once were. I don't mean to come across as self-centred and I'm sorry if I have done. I also apologise if offering money was disrespectful. As I said I'm new here and as you said I don't know what levers to pull. I'm here as a learner, student and I'm trying to be as respectful as possible. I'm not only interested in the catacombs but also all of you, the Cataphiles who explore it. I'm just asking to tag along with your next venture into the catacombs. I am young, and I am very sociable, I'm a peoples person and I think life is about the experiences you have with other people. This is why I'm asking to join you so I can learn. I am very eager but if you enjoy your journeys through the catacombs in silence then I will remain silent. I would simply be tagging along. I won't slow you down or cause any problems you have my word. Also thank you tieum for warning me of traps. I have taken this into consideration, I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai practitioner and I am confident in my ability to defend myself and my friends against such things. thank you for your responses
