Do one thing everyday that scares you

The morning after the Pimps and Hos party was pretty brutal. But there is no time for feeling ill on this trip. We were up bright and early, and on the coach heading off to Munich. Before we got to Munich, our tour manager and driver had a few surprises for us. First, we stopped at the Swarovski Crystal Factory. A lot of people loved it, and dropped a lot of money of pretty crystal things.

Then, we went to Dachau, the concentration camp. On our way there, our tour manager gave us a long history of the second world war and the holocaust so that we would all be refreshed on our history going in. I learned that every German student has to go to a concentration camp at some point during their schooling.

I didn't know how I was going to react to seeing the concentration camp. I have read a lot about the Holocaust, and just reading some of the things I've read had a big impact on me. I was actually pretty frightened at the idea of actually seeing it with my own eyes.

When we got there, our tour manager set us loose and gave us a time to be back at the bus. I decided to walk around alone. I noticed right away that there were many people walking around, but the entire place was completely silent. All-in-all it is something that I'm glad we got the chance to see, but it is not something I would ever want to see again.

When we got on the bus, the vibe was completely off. There was no joking and silliness like usual. Our tour manager handled it very well, though. He talked a little bit, and then played "The Sunscreen Song." It fit the mood perfectly, but was humorous enough to raise everyone's spirit's.
