I've been to Auschwitz, tommy. Went alone a couple of years ago. I can't begin to describe the way I felt when I was there, but I can say that it is something I think people should see firsthand. My friend is up for going. Hopefully we can sort something out. I'd also like to go to Volgograd. Definitely do it. I've always be into history, studied it at Uni. As a result I felt compelled to go and see for myself all the places I'd been reading about. I've been to Auschwitz, Dachau, Majdanek, Plaszow (the camp in Schindler's List). I just felt like they had to be seen to be believed. Went to Moscow and saw Lenin lying in state too. Which was mental. Anyway, absolutely go. It's mindblowing.

Makes them sound like theme parks or something! But yeah, a lot of the camps are now museum/memorial sites. There's a museum at the Auschwitz site where you can wander around, look at all the barracks etc, the Birkenau site, which is where the crematoria and gas chambers were (Germans destroyed them just before fleeing so they are just piles of rubble now) is about a mile down the road. All absolutely awful, but at the same time, a must-see.

From a historical point of view Auschwitz would be worth seeing but id much rather go see New York and have a good time.

Not really a bucket list idea as such, more of a "If I had shit loads of money" but I'd love to take a year and follow the Formula one where it goes.
Not even that much into the sport itself, though I do enjoy watching it, just the places it goes to, and the atmosphere of the places when the formula one rolls into town, is special.
Would be pretty awesome to just go from city to city, all over the world, watching the grand prix's.
But I know that's not a realistic one, though i have just put the 50 million lottery on for tonight, so here's hoping!
