    Can you imagine living in a palace? I couldn't, it would kind of creep me out to live and work in what is literally a museum. No thanks, I like throwing my clothes on the floor when I'm in a lazy mood!

    It's not fair how all these countries have such beautiful palaces and all we get is the white house.
