Ryugyong Hotel

[Steve81]

On a whim the other day, I decided to do a search on images of Pyongyang, i.e. the capital of North Korea. It's mostly what you might expect...except for one thing:

Behold, the Ryugyong Hotel, the unfinished, 28 year old, 105 story, 3000 room hotel of North Korea.

The story behind it is interesting to say the least...

Streets look nice.

Sadly, they don't appear to be taking reservations yet.

I'd have many, many reservations about staying there.

It's the worlds largest cardboard pop-up.
