The Ryugyong Hotel is a true display of North Korea's madness. Work started on this 105 story hotel only a few years before a massive famine plagued the country. Abandoned for 16 years, work once again began in 2008, when it was coated in $150 million worth of glass. Foreign guests have reported that although the structure now looks complete on the outside, a lot of the interior is still abandoned and incomplete.

It is the most fascinating hotel construction project I've ever followed - that concrete shell dominated Pyongyang's skyline until Orascom invested in the glass, which started covering it by the time I got to see it for the first time in 2009. I'm hoping to see it again in April, but guessing it won't be ready to stay in...
