I just got done visiting Munich, which was really an incredible city. I drank lots of good beer and met a few cool people in my hostel, so that was a lot of fun!
The first afternoon, I went to Dachau Concentration Camp, which was one of the most difficult, as well as one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. The Holocaust is one point in history that I find very interesting and I love studying about it and reading about it. Getting to see a real concentration camp was something I have always wanted to do, and I feel so lucky to finally have gotten that opportunity! I got a chance to see the horrific sleeping, eating and bathing quarters, as well as a museum which described the daily lives of prisoners in the concentration camp. I will never get over just how horrific the lives of holocaust victims were, and I will never stop being shocked by all the events.

The second day, I got a late start, and went to the Haufbrauhaus, a beer hall that seats about a million people. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I got a beer the size of my face. There were people from all around the world in the space, and some spent hours upon hours there. I got a traditional German meal of a potato dumpling, roasted pork and gravy. While eating, drinking and taking it all in, I met a guy from Canada, who I ended up talking to and spending the rest of the day with. We went to the English Garden, the Christmas market, and just walked around downtown. It was a really lovely day!
