As promised, here is a small guide to what the pictures in the gallery are:

Our tour of Munich led us to many of the buildings around the city. Oddly enough, Munich is different from the rest of Europe because of how new everything is. In other European cities, the buildings are hundreds of years old. However, over 80% of Munich was destroyed in WWII, so many of the buildings here had to be rebuilt, meaning that they are only 50-60 years old.

Probably one of the most famous buildings is the Rathaus. This is the new town hall and houses the ever famous, yet very underwhelming, Glockenspiel. It goes off at 11am, 12pm, and 5pm.

The top shows a duel between Bavaria and France. Bavaria obviously wins, since we're in the state of Bavaria. And the bottom shows dancers celebrating the end of the black plague.

Another famous building is the Frauenkirche. This church dates back to the 1400s. For a structure built in the 1400s, it was finished relatively fast: a mere 20 years. We were told that the reason why was because it was built by the devil. Yes, you read that correctly. The story goes that when the church was being built, the devil visited the church and stood at the same spot as I stood in taking this picture. The devil saw that there was only one small paltry window and made a deal with the architect saying, "if you don't add any windows to this building, I will help you build it." The architect, knowing that there were many many windows that were on the sides (you can see the light streaming through) agreed saying, "Yes, I will not add any windows to what is already here".

Twenty years later, the devil visits the finished church and sees there are dozens of windows all around the church! He accuses the architect of breaking their deal. But the architect says, "No, those windows were already there. You just couldn't see them from where you were standing!" The devil, knowing that he had been tricked, stomped his foot into the ground leaving a single footprint in the church:

We also went and visited "the most famous beer hall in the world! The HOFBRAUHAUS!" I really liked this place. Don't ask me why. Well, the beer was good. It's kind of a touristy place, but I liked it anyways. Oddly enough, I heard that there's a replica of this building in Las Vegas. What will they think of next.

We also got to visit Dachau concentration camp. That was by far the best thing for me to see on this trip. It showed me the reality of WWII, but also the great blessings that I have in this day and age. I should never ever complain about how "bad" I have it when compared to any of the things that people went through at Dachau.

We got to see the jail cells for "special prisoners", as well as walk the camp grounds. Though the place was huge, we were told that by the end of the war, the camp was filled to five times its original designed capacity. Crazy.

These doors led into the gas chamber. However, the room was disguised as a shower room. The sign "Brausebad" means "shower" or "bath" room. When the prisoners entered, they would see drains and fake shower heads above. The doors would be locked, and gas canisters would be placed in the two hatches in the picture.

The bodies were then brought to the crematorium, which ran 24-7 in order to dispose of all the bodies that the SS guards were left with.

We also had a chance to visit Olympic Park, which is where the 1972 Olympics were held. Climbing to the top of the tower cost a whopping 4 euros, but I was able to get some good pictures of the city from up there.

This is the BMW headquarters tower, and the museum which is shaped like a giant bowl. I regret not being able to visit this place. Um... for the history:)

This is the outdoor field, which at the time we were there was being used for a Robbie Williams concert. I have no idea who Robbie Williams is, but apparently he's popular in Europe. I had hoped that it would have been David Hasselhoff in concert. Oh well, a man can dream, can't he?

On our last day, we got to visit Nymphenburg castle. It wasn't really a castle. Or at least, it just looked like a giant mansion. But the castle grounds were HUGE! We walked forever in the back garden, and the property just extends forever. No joke, we must have walked a whole 45 minutes away from the castle and weren't even close to reaching the end of the castle's property. That's what all the green forest pictures are. Castle property.

Anyways, hope this helps understand what most of the pictures are about. Check out the rest of them and you can see other pics of the sights we saw. Really cool stuff. Feel free to ask questions of course. It is certainly a trip that I will remember for a long time.
