So how are they going to fix the "substandard concrete" and "misaligned frame" problems? If you do your research, they didn't do the best job building this thing..
Sweet, so now anybody who uses the new Wind Wireless will now be subsidizing Kim Jong-Il's place.  | |

| yeah, I just read about it. No one knows what they are going to do about it. One thing for sure is they want to finish it before the 100th NK anniversary, which is going to be 2012.
S korean predict it will continue to be unhabitable, only the lower few floors and the top will be open to guests.

so... the top floors are going to be occupied, and they are just going to hide everything behind a glass fascia? how do people get to the top? i remember reading somewhere that the elevator shafts are so badly misaligned they were totally unusable  | |

Sweet, so now anybody who uses the new Wind Wireless will now be subsidizing Kim Jong-Il's place. | thats probably why its a 2 billion dollar job to fix/redo this thing.
but yeah im glad someone is doing something with it, just looking at the unfinished product standing in the middle of the city looks so depressing

Wonder how they will get the revenue to keep the hotel alive after completion. It's not as if N.Korea get any tourists.

That Hotel is haunted and scary. It was abandoned for like 20 years with the top opened. I would really like to see pictures of the inside. It must look at least 20 years old inside.
