The first thing I thought of was how Oceania had the giant pyramid-like Ministry of Love.

[QUOTE=Apache249;37828491]How is Taiwan anything close to a shithole?[/QUOTE] It isn't, I know now.

[QUOTE=Apache249;37827914]It's not like people would stay there anyway.[/QUOTE] Even if it was a foam pad and a sleeping bag on a concrete floor, I'd fucking pay to stay.

Add massive fog and you got yourself the North Korean version of Silent Hill.

I can think of over a hundred things that reign priority over North Korea than some hotel. What good is the hotel if the people of the land have no money to spend there. And a country who doesn't let anyone from the outside in?

I'm not sure they realize they're the butt of the world's jokes because we see right through it. I'm not even sure if they care about the outside's opinion so much as just making the rabble stuck inside think they're the best they can get so they don't try to flee

[QUOTE=Apache249;37828991]Good luck getting into the country.[/QUOTE] North Korea offers tours of the country. You can sign up on their website. The tour now includes a quick visit to this hotel... I think.

I bet you the NK episode of Nat Geo's Explorer is still highly relevant, even though it was shot years ago. Just because they've progressed with a building doesn't mean the country has really changed, but that is a bit obvious. I still really wanna visit the hotel though. I don't care if it's finished or not let me stay one night!

Now it's only a matter of time before it gets destroyed by a bunker buster. [img]http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/662952/images/exops_euro.jpg[/img]

Its like a building from epcot

[QUOTE=meppers;37832113]Its like a building from epcot[/QUOTE] It reminds me of that giant gold dome (Wonders of Life Pavilion, officially) they open every year for the Food and Wine Festival... That, or the giant metal square thing between the entrance and the Land... I think that's where The Seas is now.

It looks like a Casino. They should turn it into a Casino.
