I heard they haven’t put in pipes or electricity; that may be the reason for them opening only the top 150 floors.
I still remember one Japanese reporter getting a tour of Pyongyang and their first Western-style restaurant. The Japanese journalist asked her handler, “How much is a hamburger here?”
“About $3.”
“WOW! Only $3! In Tokyo a good hamburger costs at least $5!. This place must be busy all the time!”
The handler, without realizing what she was saying, responded, “Well, not really, in North Korea a worker makes around $3 a year.”
I’m sure the handler was tortured and shot for that comment.

The pyramid-shaped building has become known as the "Hotel of Doom".
I thought US Governmental CONSTRUCTION JOBS were always behind, but not 26 years late.
Hotel Of Doom?? No thanks... I'll wait for a HILTON to open up!!
