#1 I have to say it looks a lot like our current motels, NOT "Vegas Grade" at all.

#5 And here I thought that they had finally finished that enormous pyramid of a "hotel" in downtown Pyongyang. Now *that's* a "creation that illuminates the era of the Korean Workers' Party". Well, insofar as they can afford the lights.

#6 Hamhung is at about 40degrees N Latitude about the same as Atlantic City and I noticed from the article they have a 'boardwalk'.

Bet the Hamhung Hard Rock Cafe is really rockin at night. Maybe let the Donald know about this opportunity.

#7 Hey guys, be fair. The photo looks 'dated' and has the same lithographic color hues as a postcard from the 60s.

I'm sure it's much better there now.

#8 I'll believe it's a luxury resort when a Hollyweird bimbette checks in (for anything other than rehab).

You mean this one? The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, construction began in '87 and ceased in '92. It sits in the middle of the city, unfinished.
