In an unbelievable turn of events, a tipsy Irish tourist found himself face-to-face with Romania’s Palace of the Parliament after a night of heavy drinking. Believing the colossal structure could be his hotel, he decided to scale its walls, smash a window, and stumble inside around 4 AM. Once inside, he wandered through the grand halls of the iconic building, trying various office doors until the bewildered security caught up with him.
The police didn’t waste time in taking him into custody, charging him with trespassing and damaging a public building—both felonies. This incident arrives on the heels of recent protests that also shook the Parliament, raising questions about security in one of the world’s largest government buildings. So much for a quiet vacation! It seems like this wild adventure will teach him that perhaps Googling first is better than a night of boozy blunders.
