Maybe that is why the resident, Kim's Japanese chef, escaped back to Japan for good.:) Kim now needs a Feng-sui master?

Now those are two job listings I wouldn't want to see on Monster or Careerbuilder.

A lot of those places look like crappy tract housing.

Still, everybody's favorite building in Pyongyang has to be the Ryugyong Hotel

105 stories tall.

The tallest building nobody ever heard of. Topped out at murderous expense in 1991, it was going to be the tallest hotel in the World. It was never completed because substandard work left it structurally unsound. It stands to this day as a mute reminder of the folly of the North Korean regime.

It would be the demolition engineer's dream to turn it into a pile of fine dust, without damaging its surrounding neighborhood. Bid could be open when Kim's regime is toppled.:)

Interesting that they spend all this money on buildings, yet they keep their expensive cars outside. What, no garages?

Maybe the garage is 100 meter below ground just in case there would be a nuclear strike.:)

Perhaps, but you would think the car would then also be 100 meters below ground in the garage. Talk about a steep driveway...

Re #28

Or elevators, which does not always work. Anyway, to tell you the truth, I was saying it as a kind of joke.:)

I don't have any information on parking situation at Dear Leader's villas.

No wonder the Democrats love this guy. They also want to live in luxury like Kerry and all of his mansions. And ruling over all of the common people, with the common people's money.

Well, except for the fact there is no glass in those windows, I guess it is! Of course, no glass makes this hotel equivalent to the finest houses in all of North Korea!
