Okay..
We left from the Charlotte Airport to JFK airport in NY. From there we took an 9 hour plane right to the CITY OF LIGHTS, PARIS. On the flight there i watched movies all throughout the flight. i watched.. Fool's Gold (pretty silly) and i watched Mulan!!!! I LOVE MULAN!!! =) somehow i think i watched other movies but i cant think of it. we had like a few hours layover in Paris.. i didnt get to go the city.. YET.. but from there, we flew to Munich, Germany.
i Love Germany. its so.. appealing. we were in munich for 2 nights. When we first arrived there we lugged all our luggage to the hotel via subways and WALKING.. omgawd i seriously wanted to chuck my luggage and just leave it there. AWAY WITH THE DOGGONE BAGS. We reached our hotel. there was this phillipine lady who talked to me and she was excited coz i was asian and was from her region.. haha. she's married to a german.
Our first day there, we went to the Englishgarten. meaning. ENGLISH GARDEN. and the park was really pretty.. it had a BIG pond. or a small lake.. couldnt decide. but we had dinner there.. german sausages and for the guys+ Leena, BEERRRR!! i havent developed my pallete for Beer.. YET.. who knows if i ever will..
Nyway.. the second day in Germany, we made a little side trip to Dachau. For those of you who are not aware, Dachau has a Concentration Camp existing from the Nazi's reign in Germany. It is by far one of THE MOST depressing places I have ever been too. The saddest thing about it is that they take human life so systematically. Incinerators are built beside gas chambers, nooses are hung in front of the incinerators. Its just so wrong. Doctors who are working with the SS see it as EASY, killing all the people.. i have a quote i took picture of.. but right now my butts too heavy to go get the camera.. =)
Dachau really makes you think about how fortunate you are. On the gate to the concentration camp that says in german, Work brings freedom -- Arbeit macht frei. Sadly, those who work.. are almost never set free.. they almost always end up dead. I got to see the prisoners barracks.. Rooms that are small and dark. "interrogation rooms''. There was a vibe in the are. it was really sad and depressing.. There were pictures of the starved prisoners' corpses. Gaunt - literally skin and bones. and the stories about jewish children, nearly made me cry..
This is really depressing so I'll leave it at that.. i might talk about it some more as it impacted me alot. sorta. but as of right now. i think im gonna stop
