No. My wife prefers B&B's. On second thought, I would think there is not much of a market for them over there. |

'$2 billion dollars to make it…'safe'' Nope, think I'll pass. Evidently not everyone is of the opinion that our fraternal socialist brothers paid a lot of attention to detail when building this thing. Hate to be 'the straw that broke the camel's back' so to speak. |

Well no wonder it was doomed to failure: According to foreign residents in Pyongyang, Egypt's Orascom group has recently begun refurbishing the top floors of the three-sided pyramid-shaped hotel whose 330-metre (1,083 ft) frame dominates the Pyongyang skyline. Everyone knows that the more successful and durable pyramids have four sides! Take these for example: picture picture picture Just goes to show y'all, communists can't do anything right.

Everyone knows that the more successful and durable pyramids have four sides! Dear Leader said "Three!", so three it is. |
