The second largest building in the world - the Palaces of Parliament (view from the balcony!)
The balcony where Ceausescu made his last speech (in the background near the flags!)
Memorial to the martyrs of the revolution - nicknamed "Olive on a Stick!"

Ceausescu trying to imitate the Champs Elyse
We had dinner at this tacky (but entertaining) Dracula restaurant!
