bluemonday Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Will 'Hotel of Doom' ever be finished? Clicky Fair play to the North Koreans, at least they have actually started building something as opposed to talking about it. the Ryugyong Hotel was described by one magazine simply as "the worst building in the history of mankind". That's a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 No, it is not 'fair play' at all to be building such things when the regime ensures that the people live in poverty yet are made to build such expensive things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 When perestroika comes to North Korea I hope they do not get rid of the grand follies too quickly because I want to go and see them. Actually I hope they have a sort of in-between stage like Russia and the Soviet satellites did in the 80/90s. When it will still be really weird but you can visit relatively easily and be shouted at.

Off you go then and tell that naughty Kim Jong-il to behave. We'll all join Amnesty and campaign for your release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I stayed in the 'Hotel of Doom' once, though it was in Blackpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
