Theoretically,
this
should
be
one
of
the
main
landmarks
where
one
could
learn
about
the
communist
era
and
about
Romania’s
last
dictator,
Ceausescu.
Before
our
tour
(delivered
in
English),
I
expected
the
guide
to
provide
context
so
people
can
understand
for
example,
the
difference
between
how
Ceausescu
and
his
family
were
living
in
comparison
to
the
general
public.
I
expected
a
bit
of
history,
some
interesting
facts,
something
to
put
things
in
perspective.
What
we
got
was
a
tour
given
in
broken
English,
that
only
talked
about
the
rooms
and
some
objects
in
them:
“this
object
was
received
by
Ceausescu
from
Queen
Elizabeth”.
Further,
the
guide
didn’t
make
sense
at
times,
for
example
when
talking
about
Ceausescu’s
wife,
Elena,
she
first
mentioned
she
was
illiterate
and
only
finished
3
grades
in
primary
school,
and
30
seconds
she
said
that
Elena
had
a
PhD.
Really??
How
can
one
understand
the
truth
about
her
then?
She
actually
bribed
and
forced
people
to
award
her
this
distinction,
when
in
fact
she
did
not
deserve
it…
You
must
provide
training
to
your
guides
and/or
hire
better
ones
in
order
to
improve
customer
experience.
This
building
is
way
too
significant
to
be
wasted
through
very
poor
guided
tours…
