Auschwitz Concentration Camp

Having learnt about the World War II and Hitler’s ambitions in history lessons, I had always wanted to visit one of the Nazi Concentration camps. Upon arriving at the camp, it was truly an eye opening experience. I would not classify this place as a tourist attraction, but rather a place to remember those who had died during the war period. There are not one, but two death camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II. Both offered an experience of its own and are filled with their own unique history. To visit Auschwitz, I recommend booking a guided tour. Not only were transportation arranged to and fro, but the planning and execution were smooth.

Shirakawa-go Historical Village Shirakawa-go is a village in the valley located in Gifu Prefecture. It is registered as the 6th World Heritage Site in Japan because it is a village with a unique identity. The roof is made of rice straw, built by hand called Gassho-zukuri. It is an ancient farmer's house that is over 250 years old. The word "Gassho" means to put your hands together, which indicates the style of the house with a thatched roof made of rice straw at a 60-degree angle, similar to two hands put together. The roof is sloped down like a gable to withstand snow and wind in winter. The house is about 18 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was built without nails. Some places allow you to stay overnight. It is also a business that opens inside the house, allowing tourists to see the traditional lifestyle of the Japanese people. #Water activities
