Palatul Parlamentului, Bucarest, 20241201
This weekend I had a little trip to Bucarest. I wanted to see the huge palace from the USSR era. I've seen a documentary about the building a long time ago and wanted to see it ever since. It is one of the biggest, heaviest and most expensive buildings on this side of the Milky Way. I had the tour on Friday late afternoon and the tour was actually pretty shitty, but more about that later.
This was taken on Sunday December 1st which is Great Union Day (Romanian: Ziua Marii Uniri; also called Unification Day or National Day). The Romanian flag is projected on all public buildings. There was a fairly big Christmas Market and -concert infront of the palace square and you could buy Christmas stuff and get food and drinks. I wanted to go in the ferris wheel and take some photo's of the palace but there was a huge queue so I skipped that.
The weekend started pretty bad with the shitty palace tour but it became better and better and in the end I had a wonderful weekend and I'm a fan now. The city is clean, I've seen no homeless people on the streets, efficient and cheap public transportation. Good hotel. All was good. Great city, proud people!
