Just saw a story saying that North Korea is working on the Ryugyong Hotel again. Seems interesting after it sitting abandoned for 16 years. Here's the link to the story http://news.yahoo....rea_north_hotel_dc.

Good, when I finally manage to get inside it, there'll have been more stuff put in.

Interesting story. I can't help but wonder if North Korea is paying for this with the aid package they got as part of the nuclear disarmament deal. I mean, one week they blow up a cooling tower, the next week they re-start construction on their hotel of doom. Screw all the starving people, the overwhelming tourist industry of North Korea needs more hotel rooms!

I dug up some pics of that place a while ago.. Pretty cool..

It definitely has that whole "you are not allowed to see, but you are drawn to it" vibe..

I was going to say, this sounds like some kind of telecom deal, for exactly what kind of telecom isn't clear though, since cellular networks don't generally use towers that high.

It turns out that Orascom Group - website at http://www.orascom.com/ - is involved in both telecom and hotel development. So who knows what's really going on here.

It would cost up to $2 billion to finish the Ryugyong Hotel and make it safe, according to estimates in South Korean media. That is equivalent to about 10 percent of the North's annual economic output.


Ohhhh Fail
Poor North Korea

They are only "renovating" the top few floors to house telecom equipment.

No word if the remainder would be finished, but it's doubtful.
