That scary "hotel" in North Korea is actually being finished...

That famous "hotel" in North Korea, one of the worlds tallest, that was a half built shell for 25 years is being finished (don't know who will stay in it considering foreigners are not exactly allowed free passage to the country).

So anyway It looked like this for donkeys years cause they ran out of dosh to finish it

Not very welcoming...and intimidating

Now it looks awesome and even more intimidating to the peasants! They started on it again last year. (surely the structure is unsafe!?)

North Korea isn't that bad, Western media paints a very one sided picture of it.

That's a giant death ray if ever I saw one. Invade, invade immediately!

I watched an independant documentary on North Korea, and I think Western Media have it right with NK. Public executions, children starving. And instead of feeding the poor, they build this stupid hotel.

but sure - if you want to take up the unpopular stance for the sake of debate on AH, go for it

Yeah - in Pyongyang? If you were how many "gaurds" were keeping an eye on your movements? NK is not somewhere ordinary people would like to live IMO! Though I am aware they have a couple of special more open but small "economic zones" - the vast majority of the country and Pyongyang is under the rule of a lunatic dictator.

why would the structure be unsafe, a multiple ton tower crane has been sitting on the top for nearly 20 years without falling so that tells you the structure itself is sound
