Ceausescu's Palace

Me at Ceausescu's Palace

Sunday we checked out the Parliament house, otherwise known as Ceausescu's palace. You can google Ceausescu if you want, but just breifly, he was a communist dictator taken down from power in the late 80's for his corrupt leadership. This building is the second largest in the world, exceeded only by the Pentagon. Michael Jackson was the only person ever to give a speech from the balcony, in which he addressed the crowd saying "Hello Budapest!" (yeah, we're in Bucharest...woops).

My stomach was making the loudest noises during the tour. Of course everyone was super quiet so it sounded ridiculous. The building was cool, but they only showed like 10% of it, so I guess it could have been cooler? It's early. Anyway, I half ate a chicken sandwhich on the way back, at least that's what the label said, but it tasted strangely similar to fish.
