It's not amazing, sorry.

It's the worst piece of architecture I've ever seen in my life.

It was never occupied. They ran out of money and stopped all construction of it.

This building took up almost all of North Korea's money since its a state project, and they totally drained their entire economy making it(just like the soviets did with their horrible space shuttle program with buran).

Something happened and its going to be renovated and completed for some odd reason. I think it would be best if someone just took a few bombs and dropped it on it to make a sweet implosion.

yea they really didnt think it through it was more of a pride thing.  they do allow a certain amount of tourists in but only on very strict rules.  Tourists are only taken to chosen spots by the government that shows off just how "great" their country is.  And even if they didnt allow tourists in to stay at this hotel, the people of North Korea are hardly allowed to travel out of their town. 

its a horrific place and I cant believe that in this time and age the world still allows this kind of place to exist.

that's fucking intense and a pure waste of materials, shows why north korea is such a fucked up place. you could make an epic water slide down that chute type thing on the side
