... I kinda skipped it. I've done so much of Western Europe and Scandanavia, but skipped over to Turkey and now Asia soon. Eastern Europe is totally on my list, but I'll need more of a luxury vacation for my post-bar exam trip (hence thailand). Sounds like you had a great time. I'd like to hear more about your impressions of Auschwitz. I always get a funny feeling about going to places that held that kind of suffering ... battlefields and the like. I know it's a monumental difference, but I get the same kind of queasy feeling when I see tourists around the world trade center. I just feel like ... naked in a hospital gown? Like why would anyone want to come look at my open wounds. On an intellectual level I know that it (like visiting concentration camps) is about paying respects and gaining understanding and appreciation. But at the same time I feel like ... don't make a spectacle of my suffering, you know? I feel like I'm not really explaining this well. Anyway, I guess that's why I'm interested in how the tour of the camp was conducted, what you felt like, if you took pictures. Please share!
