  • It's impossible to miss the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest - like literally impossible. It's huge. It's the heaviest building in the world. We tried to dive just a little bit deeper to discover more about the man who commissioned it - Nicolae Ceausescu - by visiting the mansion he lived in during his time in office. It's a complicated history, one that we admittedly only have a very basic understanding of, but the buildings were awe inspiring.

      The building was basicly a concrete box by the time Ceaucescu was executed. The rooms/building were finished AFTER his death. There was only 1 room wich was finished when he was alive.. The balcony wich Emma and Ofer are on is NOT the one wich Ceaucescu used to give his last speech.

    The building was not made for himself, it was made for the state and the government, its name was _The House of People_ , others called it _The House of The Republic_

      it was NEVER called 'The house of the people' before the fall of the Ceausescus , it was called only "The House of the Republic" ; the name "House of the People" was invented by some journalists, to mock Ceausescu, in the immediate aftermath of his execution

    The new parliament of Thailand being built has an area 424,000-square-meter.​ When is completed​ parliament is expected to be one of the world’s largest parliament​ buildings​ replace​ "palace of the parliament" in romania.​ When parliament buliding was completed the government plans to open for tourists to visit. There will be stores and the park area including the viewpoint close "Chao Phraya River". Which will make this place a new landmark for both domestic and international tourists.
    The Parliament building is expected to be completed at the beginning of the year 2021.
    ...........................
    At that time, if you have the opportunity to travel to Thailand. I will be very pleased if you visit and welcome to give more information. 🙏☺️From Thailand 🇹🇭

    finally travel vloggers to get into our history ,respect! with one mention,when you say"romania people get in line for food while Ceausescu live here"right now 30 years later people still die of starving and cold and lack of medicine in european and modern Romania.ceausescu had a plan to rise this country and probably the Palace of Paliament was serving as a building of a world bank .all of this if americans togheter with soviet russian didnt prepare his assasination !

      We loved Romania! It was a little hard to wrap our heads around the whole history but we did hear a few people say that (for some people) life under Ceausescu was better. And there were many mentions of current mismanagement of government funds. Thank you for sharing your history with us.

    This is confusing. Early in the video you make it sound like this palace was going to be Ceaucescu's home? then 3/4 of the video you visited his [much much smaller] residence (primaverii palace). I looked up the building in wiki and cannot find any information that Ceaucescu was going to live in this palace of the parliament. It actually makes no sense, why would he live in the house of parliament?

    • @EmmaOfer

      It was renamed and repurposed as Palace of the Parliament after his death. He did intend to live there and conduct all matter of government from there as well.

    I wonder if these despotic dictators were just regular people that got corrupted by power or they started out as power hungry psychos in life and gravitated towards the role. I can't imagine why anyone would want to build something like this without having some kind of mental problem.

    I am from Romania and I lived under Ceausescu regime. Even today, after 30 years after his downfall, I feel so sick, so humiliated when I remember. And when you think that Ceausescu had just 4 years of schooling, what a shame for my country.

      I’m sorry you had to go through that. We had conversations with many Romanians and they shared their stories from life under Ceausescu... We can only hope we all learn from experiences like these and move toward a better future.
      Romania is a beautiful country and full of such genuine people. We hope very much to return one day.

    0:44 wrong,wrong,wrong. In that time Romania was the first (and the only in history) who paid her full external debt. Thats the rationalize was about. In 12 april 1989 he made public that Romania had liquidated its foreign debt and even had debts to recover from others. 8 months later we all know what happened. At that moment we was the richest country in the world with some of the poorest citizens in the world. Today we have a 137.2 billion euros debt, 10% of population with more money they can spend and with 90% of population living day by day and with the sensation of free. In my opinion we live the same times but with that sensation of freedom and democrat country. Not a fan of him, because of how he treathed the people, but he made some good for his country. Not for his people, but for the country.

      only the idiot of the "world class" fully pays the external debt when it is not necessary ; all developed nations have external debt way higher than Romania has ever had, and they don't go hysterical to pay it, because that is how a country develops , by contracting external debt ; but Putin's idiots can't understand that and eat this shit narrative about "Ceausescu has paid the debt"
