I love bikram yoga! Go for it. The first class could be tough, but it gets easier from there, and it is so good for your muscles… I’ve always had back tension problems from practice the violin 6 hours a day and this does a great job of restoring my back—no more pain (-:

How I did it: I went to the Lyric Opera of Chicago. It's really easy to book tickets online, and if you are a student, you can join their students' club for free and get $20 tickets to week night performances of every opera showing that season. I would definitely suggest checking it out. Regular tickets usually start at $50 dollars if you want to sit in the last rows of the third balcony, and go up to around $200 for main level seats or private boxes. Read how I did it…
Awesome!!! I’m doing the same thing… I have at least five or six notebooks I’m writing in right now (-: It’s rewarding… fun to pick through months later.
My suggestion: Moleskine is THE BEST NOTEBOOK EVER if you want something sort of nice.

I visited Mauthausen. I would recommend this one. It is not as big of as well known as some of the others but still worthwhile. And you will definitely get the experience of exploring a camp. Mauthausen is “restored”—cleaned up and buildings made safe to tour through. There are other camps with remains left as they were at the time of desertion and/or rescue… if you seek the most graphic experience.
