Saw this and thought given it is a wish list for some to visit, might be a good idea to post:
Daily Life in North Korea - Hotel of Doom - Travel Photo Galleries & Photography - Totaltravel

There is some recent commentary ofn the Hotel of Doom (see photo 9) - aka Ryugyong Hotel, will find the articles and post as well

SMH article
CNN Travel article

Lucky Kepinski...

I'm interested to travel there, but perhaps more to see just how far behind the West they are...

Thanks Lindsay, Moa999, interesting.

I'm really keen to visit NK one day. When we move to HK, I'll seriously look into it (flying from Beijing). I know that the visit would be completely "fake" (in the sense that the tours will only show what they want you to see), but I still think it'd be an interesting place to visit.

Cheers,
